Why Columbus homes are different

The Scioto and Olentangy rivers run through the city, and older basements built without modern waterproofing see recurring dampness during spring snowmelt and heavy rain.

German Village's 19th-century brick homes and many other close-in Columbus neighborhoods have original stone or brick foundations without modern damp-proofing, which let ground moisture wick straight into basement walls.
