Spring Rains Have Hit Ohio! Basement Solutions for Springtime Woes

Basements: Stop Water in Its Tracks

Spring showers might be great for flowers—but not for your basement.
Common spring basement issues:

• Leaks & Flooding: Rainwater can seep through wall or floor cracks, leading to standing water.

• Musty Smells & Mold: Increased humidity fosters mold, mildew, and even efflorescence (those white mineral stains).

• Cracking & Shifting: Freeze-thaw cycles can expand existing cracks, worsening water problems.

Mid-State’s Solution:
We keep basements dry with proven systems like basement waterproofing, sump pumps, interior drainage, and crack repairs.

Crawl Spaces: Kick Moisture to the Curb

Your crawl space may be out of sight, but spring humidity makes it a hotspot for hidden damage.
Common crawl space concerns:

• Condensation & Mold: Damp air can destroy insulation and trigger mold growth and wood rot.

• Pests & Sagging Floors: Warm, damp spaces invite pests and weaken floor joists.

Mid-State’s Solution:
Our crawl space encapsulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and SmartJack™ support systems keep your crawl space clean, dry, and stable.

Foundations: Stop the Shift Before It Starts

As soil thaws and spring storms hit, your foundation may start to show signs of movement.
What to look out for:

• Cracks & Settling: Changes in soil moisture can lead to shifting and cracking.

• Erosion & Hydrostatic Pressure: Poor drainage can wash away soil and cause basement walls to bow or lean.

Mid-State’s Solution:
We offer foundation piers, helical anchors, and drainage improvements designed to permanently stabilize and support your home.
