Basement Waterproofing in Cincinnati: local context

Cincinnati is hilly, with clay soils, landslide-prone hillsides, freeze-thaw winters and a large stock of older homes with basements.

Because so many Cincinnati homes have basements, local waterproofing work commonly includes interior drain tile and sump pump systems, crack injection, exterior excavation and membranes, window-well fixes, and grading or downspout changes that move water away from the foundation.

Conditions that tend to come up around Cincinnati include freeze-thaw cycles that can open up existing cracks and clay soils that hold water against foundation walls. Before you agree to a system, a contractor should be able to show you where water is getting in and explain why their fix addresses it.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Ohio licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Where exactly is the water coming in, and how do you know?
  • What does the system include, and what is not included?
  • Is the warranty transferable if I sell the house?
  • Who pulls permits, if any are needed?
  • Can I see proof of insurance and any required license?
