Fostoria, OH's Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Pros

Facing a significant challenge, this homeowner noticed a sizable horizontal crack developing along one wall in their basement. As the crack advanced to stair-stepping, it became evident that prompt action was necessary. Recognizing stair-step cracks as the second stage of foundation wall failure, the homeowner wisely reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems for a comprehensive and complimentary inspection.

Following a meticulous examination, basement specialist Phil Watkins elucidated how such cracks can manifest due to soil pressure outside. In addressing foundation wall damage of this nature, Phil recommended the PowerBrace Wall Repair System as the optimal solution.

The PowerBrace system is specifically engineered to stabilize deteriorating basement walls and has the capability to gradually straighten them. Acting upon Phil's expert advice, Foreman Raul Calderon and his team diligently installed five PowerBrace I-Beams in the basement to effectively stabilize the foundation.

A homeowner, troubled by bouncy and uneven floors accompanied by a persistent musty smell suspected to originate from the crawl space, sought solutions online. Recognizing the escalating nature of these issues, she sought out reputable crawl space repair companies for a thorough inspection and resolution.

Our Certified Inspector Tim Myers visited the home to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the crawl space, aiming to formulate a plan to alleviate the homeowner's concerns. The investigation revealed that uneven floors were primarily attributed to aging and, in some instances, wood rot affecting several floor joists in the crawl space. Additionally, the absence of a vapor barrier liner allowed moisture and humidity to persist, posing a potential threat of mold growth.

To address these concerns, our seasoned Foreman and crew embarked on the encapsulation of the crawl space using the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This specialized barrier effectively sealed both the ground and walls, creating a formidable defense against water and moisture. The SmartJack support posts were strategically installed to reinforce the floor joists, providing a lasting solution to stabilize them permanently.

The homeowner expressed high satisfaction with the results of the crawl space encapsulation and floor repairs, finally resolving the longstanding issues that had been affecting her home.
