Athens, OH's Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Repair Pros

Jessica and Tom noticed that the first level of their home was beginning to sag, which signaled a potentially serious issue. Concerned, they decided it was time to get their floors inspected. After searching online for reputable contractors, they found Mid-State Basement Systems. We conducted a detailed inspection of their floors and discovered that the sagging was caused by excess weight inside the home. Many homes lack proper support for the first floor, and over time, the weight of furniture and foot traffic weakens the structure.

To fix the problem, we installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, which is specifically engineered to stabilize the main crawl space beam and restore the floors to their original level. SmartJack is not only a durable solution but also a long-lasting one for homeowners facing sagging floors.

After discovering significant water damage in her basement, this homeowner reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems for help.

Our experienced foreman and his team swiftly executed the repairs, ensuring the basement remains dry for years to come. If you face similar issues, contact us today for a FREE estimate!

Homeowner Ryan G, having previously addressed bowing walls with the installation of GeoLock Wall Anchors by us, was now ready to waterproof his basement. Water seepage through the previously unstable foundation walls was the next concern. Prepared to ensure a permanently dry basement, Ryan reached out to have our Foreman Nate and his crew return for the waterproofing project.

Sales Inspector Phil, during his inspection, provided estimates for both the foundation wall repair and the basement waterproofing. Acknowledging the importance of addressing foundation issues first, Phil recommended the correction of the bowing walls before implementing a waterproofing system. His proposed solution involved installing a drainage system with a sump pump and adding a wall covering to conceal the GeoLock Wall Anchors. Ryan agreed with the plan, eager to have his basement waterproofed now that the walls were stabilized.

This comprehensive approach not only resolved the foundation concerns but also ensured a dry and functional basement for the homeowner.

This Athens, OH homeowner noticed stair-step cracking in his wall. These indicate the second stage of foundation wall failure and should be taken very seriously before the wall bows in even more. We sent Certified Inspector Mitch Mink out who suggested we install 5 steel beams to ensure the wall doesn't continue to move inward.

To ensure the foundation doesn't shift and cause further damage, Foreman Nicholas Hammond and his team also installed 65' of WaterGuard Interior Drain System. The WaterGuard system is installed inside the basement along the perimeter to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. The UltraSump comes with a back-up battery to ensure your sump pump keeps working even if the power goes out.
