Local Expertise
Why Cheviot Homes Need Exterior Drainage
Cheviot is a proud, independent west-side community with its own city government, centered around the Harvest Home Fair and a walkable downtown along Harrison Avenue. The city features densely packed 1920s-1950s homes, many with full basements and original infrastructure. Cheviot's older housing stock and clay soil conditions make it one of the most active areas for waterproofing and drainage work.
1920s-1950s homes along Harrison Avenue and North Bend Road have original cinder block and poured concrete foundations showing their age
Dense lot layouts with minimal yard space limit exterior drainage options and concentrate runoff
Original clay tile footer drains and cast iron plumbing are failing throughout the community after 70-100 years
Basement finishing in older homes without proper waterproofing leads to hidden mold growth behind walls
