Basement waterproofing in Brunswick Hills Township, Ohio covers homes on the subdivisions and rural roads that wrap around the City of Brunswick. The township had 11,196 residents at the 2020 census across about 12 square miles of land in northern Medina County (Wikipedia).
Our work here covers sump pumps, drain tile, cracked walls and yard drainage. Brunswick Hills Township was set up in 1960 by residents who wanted to keep a township form of government, and it shares the 44212 ZIP code with the city.
Its 2026 comprehensive plan describes two kinds of housing: suburban subdivisions with cul-de-sacs, and rural residential land with one- to two-acre lots, often on private wells and septic. Those two settings need different drainage plans, and the township's zoning form asks which one applies, along with whether the lot is in a flood plain district. Princess Ledges Nature Preserve and Plum Creek Park, both county parks, sit inside the township.
Does Brunswick Hills use the city's building department?
No. Brunswick Hills shares the 44212 ZIP code with the City of Brunswick, but it is a separate township. Zoning goes through the township at 1918 Pearl Road, and building permits come from the Medina County Building Department rather than the city's Building Division on Center Road.
What does the township's zoning form ask about water?
The residential zoning certificate, revised in September 2025, asks whether the lot is on sanitary sewer or an on-site septic system and whether any part of the building or lot is in a flood prone or flood plain district. It also requires a driveway and culvert permit when access comes from a state, county or township road.
Those answers matter for waterproofing too: a septic system limits where you can run a French drain or sump outlet, and a floodplain lot may need a different approach than a hillside one.
Everything we do in Brunswick Hills

Yard Drainage and French DrainsFrench drains, downspout lines and regrading that move water away from the house.
Egress WindowsCode-size basement escape windows cut in with a drained window well.
Bowing Wall RepairInward-leaning or horizontally cracked walls braced, anchored or rebuilt.How does the township handle road drainage?
The Service Department's regular maintenance includes roadside ditching, culvert pipe replacement for road drainage and keeping storm sewers free of ice and debris. Water from a sump or downspout that runs toward the road ditch should reach it without eroding the bank or blocking the driveway culvert.
Are Brunswick Hills homes newer?
Mostly. Census figures show a median build year of 2001 and about 55 percent of the township's 4,567 homes built since 2000. Only about 23 percent predate 1980. Plum Creek, which FEMA studied from roughly 2,600 feet below Laurel Road downstream, runs through the area, so low-lying lots near it deserve a closer look.

Neighborhoods we serve in Brunswick Hills
Spruce Avenue
Princess Ledges, at 4361 Spruce Avenue, was subdivided for summer cottages in the 1920s, and the township plan says sandstone held back development there.
Plum Creek Parkway
Plum Creek Park on Plum Creek Parkway was once the Brunswick Township landfill. The creek itself is a FEMA-studied flood source, so low lots nearby deserve a careful drainage look.
Sleepy Hollow Road
FEMA notes that Sleepy Hollow Lake, on the main stem of Plum Creek, lies outside the city in Medina County. It is one of two recreational lakes FEMA names on Plum Creek.
Substation Road
The township plan reports heavy cut-through traffic on Substation, Boston and Marks roads. Homes along those roads drain to ditches the Service Department maintains.

The county preserve's sandstone ledges stretch more than 1,100 feet, and the park district says they were once the shore of Lake Erie. The preserve sits at 4361 Spruce Avenue.
Plum Creek Park
The park district turned the former township landfill into a 293-acre park with two fishing ponds. The Plum Creek Greenway now links it to Brunswick Lake.
Working with Medina Basement Waterproofing in Brunswick Hills
The township's two settings call for different plans. In the cul-de-sac subdivisions we look at grading and the sump outlet; on the one- to two-acre rural lots we route water well clear of the well and the septic field.
Let us know whether the house is on sewer or septic and whether the lot is in a flood plain district, since both change the plan. On larger lots, French drains and outlets are often part of it.
