For Mentor property owners
Follow the water route, not just the nearest lake
Mentor’s stormwater information explains that most city drainage reaches Lake Erie directly, while other portions lie in the Chagrin and Grand River watersheds. This does not diagnose any one home, but it is a reason to investigate the actual ditch, drain, and surface-water route serving the property.
The city provides contacts for storm-sewer maintenance and a Storm Water Help Desk. Use them for public drainage questions while we assess the indoor materials. Photographs showing where water first appeared can be more useful than assuming a basement is damp simply because the home is in Mentor.
Use the city help desk
Mentor’s contact directory identifies stormwater assistance separately from property-maintenance and building questions.
Observe from a safe place
After rain, note whether water collects at a window well, follows the wall, or backs up through a drain.
Look beyond the surface
A dry-looking finish does not establish whether insulation or framing behind it was affected.

When remediation is needed, you receive a written scope for the affected areas. The work can include containment, material removal, HEPA vacuuming and treatment.
Check the result
A post-remediation evaluation checks the treated area. Moisture repairs and any rebuilding need to be coordinated so the original problem is addressed.
