Exterior Drainage in Mariemont
Mariemont was built as a planned community in the 1920s, and its homes reflect that era's construction. Stone, brick, and poured concrete foundations with original clay tile drainage are standard throughout the village. The Little Miami River runs along Mariemont's southern boundary, and homes in the lower elevations face flood risk during spring storms and heavy rainfall events. Mariemont's historic preservation standards require sensitive approaches to exterior work. Dry Effect works within the village's guidelines to protect both the property and the community's architectural character.
