By midday after the May 2020 storm, deep spots remained on SR 315, according to WSYX. The Olentangy River matters here too: at 17 feet on the National Weather Service's Olentangy River gauge in Franklin County, the National Weather Service lists flooding along Olentangy River Road in Powell.
For a homeowner, the lesson is to prepare before the next downpour. Keep storm drains and window wells clear, check that your sump pump discharges away from the foundation and move valuables off basement floors. If water enters, do not walk through it near electrical outlets or appliances, and call us so we can extract it and start drying before mold begins.
How We Handle Losses in Powell
Powell's setting along the Olentangy River and its tributaries means flash flooding, saturated ground and spring storms are the main water risks, with winter freezes adding burst pipes and ice dams. We plan for basement water, sump failures, roof leaks and storm damage, and we extract, dry and monitor until readings confirm the structure is dry.
Mold usually follows water in Powell homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Powell usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
