Trusted Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Findlay, OH

This crawlspace in Findlay, Ohio was experiencing ground moisture seepage that was increasing the humidity level of the home. When a crawlspace has standing water in it, that moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and wood rot. The homeowners were fed up with the mildew that was causing additional problems such as allergies and asthma. They called us at Mid-State Basement Systems for help. It was determined that a full crawlspace encapsulation would eliminate their problems and make their crawlspace dry and useable, as well as make the air cleaner in their home. We installed a full perimeter spray foam to the crawlspace, as well as the CleanSpace system to keep moisture out. This was all accompanied with the SaniDry dehumidifier and a SuperSump system. The SaniDry Sedona offers giant performance in a small package. The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large areas.

Some features of the Sedona are:

• Automatic drainage - No need to empty the reservoir.
• Filter - Removes mold spores and dust mites (good for allergies and asthma).
• Auto humidistat - Shuts off the unit when desired relative humidity is achieved to save energy.

After the full encapsulation of the crawlspace, the homeowners are now able to breathe easier(and better) as well as use this crawl space knowing it will stay clean and cry.

A frequently asked question we get at Mid-State Basement Systems is, "Can you put a sump pump in a crawl space?" and to answer that, of course you can! Before you notice any water or humidity damage in your crawl space is the best time to get one installed. Since the water can infiltrate a crawl space much easier than, for example, a basement, a sump pump is a solution that every homeowner with a crawl space should consider. Water collected through the drainage pipe is directed to a powerful sump pump, designed specifically for the crawl space. We offer a variety of sump pump options, including a battery backup pump that keeps working even when the power goes out. That is exactly what we did in this crawlspace located in Findlay, Ohio. Having this system in place will prevent:

• Mold growth on wood surfaces and HVAC ducts
• Wood Rot
• Termite Damage
• Buckling hardwood floors

A dirt crawl space that hasn't been encapsulated can allow ground moisture to seep into the crawl space and increase the humidity level in your home. Standing water in the crawl space leads to moisture that causes mold, mildew, and wood rot. Crawl space humidity can cause discomfort, high utility bills, and aggravate allergies and asthma.

A homeowner in Findlay, OH called Mid-State Basement System because the walls in her basement were cracking and bowing severely. Water also leaked into the basement after any amount of rain. This was not only urgent because of the severity but also because the home was on the market and they needed to complete the repairs for a potential buyer. We installed 21 PowerBrace I-beams around the whole perimeter of the basement to repair the foundation. We also installed a full WaterGuard subfloor drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. The current homeowner is happy with the work we completed and the way we were able to work with her to get it done in a timely fashion.
