A customer in Mount Sterling, Ohio was having troubles with a perpetually wet basement. They called Mid State Basement Systems for a free inspection and estimate to see what could be done so their basement space would be useable. After setting up an appointment, an inspector was on the property to find the best solution for their home. It was decided that the best course of action would be to install a WaterGuard System along the full perimeter of the basement, with a SuperSump pump system.  The WaterGuard is installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing.

A homeowner in Columbus grew increasingly concerned about the sagging and uneven floors in her home. Additionally, she had a damp, musty crawl space that also required attention. In search of reliable solutions, she turned to the internet and was reassured by the positive reviews of Mid-State Basement Systems.

Our Sales Inspector conducted a free inspection at her residence to formulate a comprehensive plan for addressing both her crawl space concerns and the sagging floors. During the assessment, it was evident that the floor joists in the crawl space were beginning to fail, directly impacting the floors within the home. Furthermore, the crawl space was in a cluttered state, and moisture was a persistent issue. To remedy these concerns, our inspector recommended a two-pronged approach: encapsulating the crawl space to prevent moisture infiltration from the ground and repairing the sagging floor joists with a support beam system.

Our experienced Foreman and his crew promptly installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System, designed to stabilize the sagging floor joists and ensure even floors throughout the home. Simultaneously, the crawl space was encapsulated using the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and SilverGlo thermal wall insulation, which effectively sealed off moisture and provided protection against structural wood rot and mold growth.
