Expert Crawl Space Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor Serving New Holland, OH

John in New Holland, OH had been dealing with a musty smell in his basement for some time, and he began to worry about the potential health risks associated with mold exposure. He reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems to investigate the issue. Our inspection revealed that high humidity levels were creating a conducive environment for mold growth. To tackle the problem, we installed a powerful dehumidification system designed to control the humidity and improve air circulation. This intervention helped eliminate the musty odor, reduce the risk of mold growth, and created a healthier environment in John's basement.

This customer in New Holland, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems after doing a Google search for foundation repair in his area. His basement foundation walls had stair-step cracks all along them. So, we sent out one of our inspectors to provide a free inspection and quote. The homeowner decided to go with us for the work. Our crew installed 8 carbon fiber straps to prevent the walls from moving any further. These are straps made of carbon fiber (a material with a very high tensile strength, which means it is nearly impossible to rip without a tool). The crew also sealed up all the existing cracks.

Now the homeowner does not need to worry about his foundation walls shifting. If the homeowner sees a finished basement in his future, he can cover up those walls with drywall without fear of further cracking.

This home had experienced repeated basement flooding, especially when street drains backed up, causing water to reach ankle depth. Despite an unusually dry summer, the homeowner noticed her basement continued to flood and knew she needed a permanent solution before serious damage occurred. Deciding enough was enough, she called Mid-State Basement Systems for a free, no-obligation estimate.

One of our trained inspectors came out and proposed a comprehensive plan to stop the flooding.

Step 1: Install our patented WaterGuard drainage system around the entire 104 ft. perimeter of the basement. This system intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and directs it to the sump pump.

Step 2: Install our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which includes a 1/3 horsepower primary pump, a 1/2 horsepower backup pump, and a battery backup pump. The WaterGuard system channels water into the TripleSafe system, ensuring it is efficiently pumped out of the basement.

Step 3: Remove excess moisture from the air with a patented SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier removes moisture more efficiently than any other on the market, keeping the basement air dry and promoting the health of everyone in the home.

With these solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry and healthy basement, free from the worry of flooding.
