Water damage restoration across Columbus and central Ohio

The service area is a circle of about 25 km around the center of Columbus, the capital of Ohio and the seat of Franklin County. It takes in the city itself, the older neighborhoods near the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, and the suburbs that ring the city. Most calls start in a basement. Basements are standard across central Ohio, and the water often comes from a failed sump pump, a sewer backup or a creek that rose in a storm. Owner-occupancy in the city is under half, so many callers are tenants or landlords rather than the people who live in the house.

The edge of the area is where the rules change. Some communities sit wholly in Franklin County, some straddle a county line, and a few lie in other counties. The building department and health district that handle a repair depend on where the house sits, not on the mailing address. Inside Columbus, Building and Zoning Services covers permits. Elsewhere, the county or city office for that address applies. Plumbing repair is not part of our work. A licensed plumber does that, and in Columbus the plumber must also be registered with the city. The crew handles the water: stopping it where that is safe, drying the structure and cleaning up.
