Top Basement Waterproofing Services in Grove City

What You Need to Know Before the Next Big Rain

If your basement flooded once, it’s likely to happen again. In Grove City and the surrounding areas—Dublin, Hilliard, Pickerington, and beyond—we see this all the time. And once the cleanup is done, the big question is always: How do I make sure this never happens again?

That’s where basement waterproofing comes in.

At Total Home Water Restoration, we’ve helped hundreds of local homeowners dry out their basements and keep them that way. This post breaks down the most effective waterproofing solutions we install—and how to tell what your home needs.

Why Basements Flood in Central Ohio

Most homes here have basements, and many were built before modern waterproofing was standard. Combine that with:

• Heavy clay soils that don’t drain well

• High water tables in parts of Grove City and Columbus

• Old foundation cracks or gaps

• Gutters that dump water too close to the home

…and you’ve got a recipe for flooding.

The Top Waterproofing Services We Recommend

Not every home needs a full system. But here’s what we typically use to stop water from getting in—or manage it safely if it does.

1. Interior Drain Tile Systems

Best for: Homes where water seeps in through the floor-wall joint.

• Installed inside the basement, along the perimeter

• Channels water to a sump pump system

• Fully hidden under a new concrete edge

2. Exterior Waterproofing Membranes

Best for: Foundations with cracks or heavy outside pressure.

• Involves digging around the outside of the home

• Seals the wall from the outside before water can get in

• Often combined with exterior drain tile

3. Sump Pump Systems

Best for: Any basement that sees water under the slab or walls.

• Automatically pumps out water that collects under your home

• Can include battery backup for power outages

4. Crack Injection

Best for: Single leaking foundation cracks.

• High-pressure polyurethane or epoxy injection

• Quick fix that works if there are no bigger drainage issues

5. Grading and Downspout Extensions

Best for: When surface water is the problem.

• Fixes slope and directs water away from foundation

• Often the simplest and cheapest fix
