Basement waterproofing in Medina Township, Ohio covers homes across the 18.1 square miles that wrap around the north and east sides of the City of Medina. The township had 9,183 residents at the 2020 census, and SR 3 meets I-71 at Exit 222 inside its borders (Wikipedia: Medina Township).

We take on wet basements, sump pumps, cracked walls and yard drainage here. Its neighbors are Brunswick Hills on the north, Granger Township on the east, Montville Township on the south and York Township on the west.

Medina Township is run by three trustees from Township Hall at 3799 Huffman Road, and it keeps its own police force while contracting with the city for fire and EMS. Most of its roughly 4,200 homes were built after 1980, which shapes the kind of water problems owners call about. Township addresses use ZIP codes 44256 and 44258, with parts in 44215 and 44233.

Where do Medina Township homeowners get permits?

Medina Township addresses often carry a Medina mailing address, but they are not in the city, so the city's waterproofing permit does not apply. The township's zoning process says that once you have a zoning permit from Township Hall at 3799 Huffman Road (330-721-1997), you go to the Medina County Building Department for building permits. Ask the zoning office whether any outside part of the job, such as regrading or a new structure, needs zoning review.

Do newer Medina Township homes still get wet basements?

They can. Census data show a median build year of 1993 in the township, with 29 percent of homes built since 2000 and only about 10 percent before 1960. Ohio's current residential code requires a footing drain around basements that hold back earth, but a drain only works while its outlet stays clear and the sump keeps up.

Common trouble on newer lots includes backfill that settles toward the wall, downspouts dumping beside the foundation and sump discharge that runs back to the house. Those are usually yard drainage fixes rather than major excavation.

Does Plum Creek flood in Medina Township?

FEMA's flood study for the county relies in part on a 1973 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood plain report covering Plum Creek in Brunswick Hills and Medina Townships. The same study notes that the July 2003 flooding was most severe in Medina, Montville, Lafayette and Westfield Townships. The township Roads Department lists flooding among the road hazards it responds to.

Neighborhoods we serve in Medina Township

Weymouth

Weymouth was an early mill hamlet where Lathrop Seymour built a sawmill in 1817 and a gristmill in 1818. Its post office ran from 1824 to 1905.

Stonegate Drive

Work on a roughly 75-lot subdivision between Stonegate and Ledgewood drives was set to begin in January 2026. New basements there must have footing drains under Ohio's residential code, so early leaks usually trace to grading or the sump outlet.

Fenn Road

The township sports complex at Blakslee Park sits at the corner of Fenn and Weymouth roads. The Roads Department's street list shows whether a road is township, county, state or private, which decides who handles its ditch.

About Medina Township, Ohio

Medina Township was surveyed into 81 equal lots in 1810, and Zenas Hamilton became its first permanent settler in October 1814. The first township election was held on March 24, 1818, and the name traces to Medina in Arabia (Medina Township history).

The township's history says early Weymouth "came near being the county seat." Today it keeps four cemeteries, including Hamilton Corners and Weymouth, and contracts with the City of Medina for fire and EMS.

Its housing is younger than the city's: Census figures give a median build year of 1993, ten years later than the City of Medina.

Weather and climate in Medina Township

NOAA's longest nearby record is at Chippewa Lake, a few miles southwest, with 40.55 inches of precipitation a year and January the coldest month at a 24.5°F average. A newer NOAA station just east of downtown Medina shows 42.68 inches from a short, estimated record (NOAA normals, Chippewa Lake).

Both stations put the wettest stretch from May through July, which is when summer storms test footing drains and sump pumps in the township's newer subdivisions.

Medina Township Hall

Township Hall at 3799 Huffman Road houses the Zoning Department. It is the first stop for any outside work, before the Medina County Building Department issues building permits.

Working with Medina Basement Waterproofing in Medina Township

A Medina mailing address doesn't put a township house under the city's waterproofing permit. We check zoning at Township Hall for any outside work, then the county building permit for anything structural.

Most township homes were built after 1980, so on these younger lots we start with grading, downspouts and the sump outlet before suggesting bigger work. Yard drainage is often the fix here.

Medina Township questions

Does the City of Medina permit cover Medina Township?
It doesn't. The City of Medina Building Department covers addresses inside city limits. In Medina Township, zoning is handled at Township Hall and building permits by the Medina County Building Department at 791 W. Smith Road. We confirm which one applies before we quote permit costs.
My house is only a few years old. Why is the basement wet?
Young basements often leak at the joint between the floor and wall, through tie-rod holes in poured walls, or because the yard has settled toward the house. Check that downspouts and the sump outlet carry water well away. If water still gets in, we can look at crack repair or an interior drain.
Who maintains the sanitary sewer in Medina Township?
Sewered parts of the township are served by the Medina County Sanitary Engineering Department, whose code keeps the service lateral from the house to the main the owner's job to keep clear. The County repairs structural breaks under the public right-of-way after the owner provides camera footage.
Which ZIP codes reach into Medina Township?
Medina Township addresses use 44256 and 44258, and parts of the township fall in 44215 and 44233. A Medina mailing address does not put a house inside city limits, so check the township line before assuming the city's permit applies.
Who clears a flooded road ditch in Medina Township?
The township Roads Department maintains township roads and responds to hazards including flooding. County roads go to the Medina County Highway Department and state routes to ODOT. The township publishes a street list showing which is which.
Do new Medina Township subdivisions need footing drains?
Ohio's residential code requires drains around concrete or masonry basements that hold back earth, discharging by gravity or pump. New homes off roads such as Stonegate Drive should have them, though the outlet and sump still need upkeep.
Where is the Medina Township zoning office?
The Zoning Department is in Township Hall at 3799 Huffman Road, phone 330-721-1997. After any township zoning approval, building permits come from the Medina County Building Department at 791 W. Smith Road.
How can I tell if my Medina Township street is a township road?
On the Roads Department page, the township posts a street list that splits every road into township, county, state or private. That matters for ditch and culvert questions when a sump or downspout line runs toward the road.
What should Medina Township owners ask before basement work starts?
Ask what is causing the water, whether the fix is outside or inside, who pulls the county permit, and where pumped water will go. For houses built since 2000, ask about grading and gutters before major work.
Is it worth fixing a damp basement in a newer Medina Township home?
Small leaks in young basements tend to grow as backfill settles and gutters clog. Our estimate costs nothing, and simple fixes such as regrading and extended downspouts are far cheaper than repairing a finished room later.
