water damage restoration in Commercial Point
Columbus Water Damage Restoration takes water damage calls in Commercial Point, a village in Scioto Township, Pickaway County, about 22 km southwest of central Columbus. Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. The crew can help stop the water at the shut-off, dry the structure, and document the damage for your insurer, and the emergency stage is explained and approved before work starts.
Commercial Point sits outside Franklin County, in Pickaway County, at the south-west edge of the area Columbus Water Damage Restoration covers. It is a village with a small 19th-century core, a rail and crossroads village of frame houses, and a large body of newer subdivision homes built out between about 2005 and 2025. The two kinds of house generate different calls, and most of this page is about that difference.
The growth is tied to the Darby and Scioto corridor and to distribution centres nearby, which is why the newer streets hold large two-story Colonials. Those homes usually have full poured basements with sump pumps. A crew working in one of them is often dealing with a basement that holds the water heater, the furnace and the panel, and a pump that has failed or lost power during a storm.

Most requested services in Commercial Point
Crawl Space Water Damage in Commercial Point
The 19th-century village core has crawl spaces and stone cellars, which need a different drying approach from a finished basement.
Foundation Seepage and Wall Leaks in Commercial Point
Wall and floor seepage in older cellars and new basements is cleaned up and dried here, though waterproofing contracts are not part of the work.
Burst Pipe Water Damage in Commercial Point
Supply lines in two-story homes can leak down into the room below, and the crew handles the water and drying while a plumber makes the repair.
River and Flash Flood Cleanup in Commercial Point
The Scioto River and Big Darby Creek sit close to the village, so surface and river flooding are real cleanup situations, and flood needs its own policy.
Sewage Backup Cleanup in Commercial Point
Sewer backup is generally excluded from a standard policy, so backups are treated as contaminated water from the first visit.

Why do the old village houses and the new subdivisions get different calls?
The older core is frame housing from the 19th century. In a village of that age, the crawl space is a common part of the picture, and stone cellars and crawl spaces can stay damp through wet seasons. When water has come up from below, the crew checks the floor framing and the ground for hidden moisture before it sets any drying equipment. Drying a crawl space is usually slower than drying a finished basement, because air moves less freely and access is tight.
The newer streets present a different problem. A large two-story house on a full poured basement holds a lot of plumbing and appliances above the basement floor, and the basement collects water first. When a sump pump fails or power drops during a storm, the basement is where the water shows up. Upstairs, an ice-maker line or a washer hose can send water through the floor into the room below, and the damage often shows on the ceiling before anyone thinks to look at the floor.
Where does the water come from around here?
The Scioto River lies east of the village, and Big Darby Creek, a National Scenic River, lies to the west, with Darby Creek floodplain nearby. That gives two sources to think about. One is flood water that rises from the river or creek during heavy rain. The other is surface water that runs off fields and new pavement during a storm and finds its way into a basement through window wells, walls or a floor drain. The cleanup steps are similar, but the insurance questions are not.
Insurance follows the cause. A standard homeowners policy generally responds to sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst supply line. It generally does not cover gradual leaks, flood, or sewer and drain backup. The Ohio Department of Insurance lists water damage from a sewer backup or basement leak among typical exclusions, so that cover usually depends on an added endorsement. Flood is a separate policy, through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer. For the floodplain question, check your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center, because no flood designation is given here for any address. Take photos before anything is moved, and call your insurer early.
Who handles permits and inspections in Commercial Point?
Commercial Point is outside Franklin County, so the county and health district that matter here are not the ones that govern Columbus. The Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services does not cover this village, and the City of Columbus plumbing registration rules do not apply. Ask the county or the local building department where the house is which office handles the permit for your repair. Scioto Township is the local government for the area, so it is the right office for township questions.
Plumbing repair is not part of this work. Fixing a pipe, replacing a water heater or repairing a sewer line needs a licensed plumber. Ohio licenses plumbing work: the state board licenses commercial plumbing contractors, and local building departments handle residential registration. Ask any company which license it holds and check it with the issuing office. Project Dry Basement is a City of Columbus program with its own eligibility rules. Check eligibility with the City of Columbus rather than assuming a house in Pickaway County qualifies.
What happens when you call, and what does the crew do first?
Start with the water. Shut it off at the main if you can do so safely, and stay out of standing water near outlets, the furnace or the electrical panel. If water came up through a floor drain or a toilet and may be sewage, treat it as contaminated and keep children and pets out of it. Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. We do not give an arrival time.
On site, the crew checks for hidden moisture with moisture meters and thermal imaging, sets air movers and dehumidifiers, and re-checks readings until materials are dry. EPA guidance is to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to limit mold. The emergency stage, meaning extraction and drying setup, is explained and approved before work starts. Repairs after drying are quoted separately, after someone has seen the wet area. Ohio does not license mold remediation the way some states do, so ask any company what standard it works to, such as ANSI/IICRC S520.

FAQ
Commercial Point FAQs
Is Commercial Point part of Columbus?
No. Commercial Point is a village in Scioto Township, Pickaway County, outside Franklin County. Columbus Water Damage Restoration still takes calls for it, but the building department and health district that apply are the county and local ones, not the Columbus offices.
How quickly will a crew get to me?
Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. We do not promise an arrival time, because the crew is working from wherever it is when the call comes in.
Will my insurance pay for the cleanup?
Coverage is decided by your insurer under your own policy, and the crew does not handle your claim. Sudden water damage is generally covered by a standard homeowners policy. Sewer backup and flood usually need an added endorsement or a separate policy. Ask your agent, and the crew can document the damage for your claim.
Do you repair the pipe or the water heater?
No. Pipe repair, water heater replacement and sewer line work need a licensed plumber. The crew handles the water cleanup and drying, and it can help stop the water at the shut-off and board up an opening.
Can I cancel after I sign?
Ohio law gives homeowners a three-business-day right to cancel many contracts signed at home. Ask for the written agreement and the cancellation notice. If you are unsure whether the right applies to an emergency job, check with the Ohio Attorney General's office.
