Cleveland Reserve Study

A reserve study in Cleveland must consider a dynamic climate, soil and drainage, stormwater and flooding, as well as building codes and permitting.

We Understand Local Cleveland Conditions & Costs

Dynamic Climate - Heavy lake-effect snow and summer heat can cause damage to building facades as well as asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Soil and Drainage Conditions - Shifting clay soil and inadequate drainage systems cause problems and impact building foundations and landscaping.

Aging Infrastructure - Old buildings and materials present increased costs and challenges for local communities.

Local Codes and Conditions - The city of Cleveland adheres to both the City of Cleveland Department of Building and Housing as well as the Ohio Residential Building Code (ORBC).

Freeze-Thaw Cycles - Rapid temperature shifts can materials to expand and contract at accelerated rates.

Historic Restrictions - Historic preservation standards require adherence to specific materials and guidelines in areas such as Tremont and Ohio City.
