Since so many Gahanna homes date from the 1960s through the 1990s, basement projects here split between first-time finishing and updating a lower level someone finished long ago. Ranches usually have a full basement with a central beam; split-levels have a partly above-grade family room that often still has original paneling. Older block walls and homes on lower ground near Big Walnut Creek deserve a careful moisture look before finishing. Newer homes on the north and east sides tend to have taller poured basements. Permits go through the City of Gahanna.

Check that gutters and grading move water away from the house. If anything looks off, it should be diagnosed and fixed first. We'll walk through these signs with you during a free estimate.
