Your Trusted Perry County, OH Basement Leak & Crawl Space Repair Experts

This Somerset, OH homeowner had crawlspace that was in relatively good shape, but was continuously having moisture problems that were effecting the air of the home above. Confused about what was going on, the homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems for some answers. 

When our inspector, Phil Matthews showed up to take a look, he found a few issues that needed addressing. Phil explained to the homeowner that the amount of ventilation in his crawl space was sucking outside air and pulling it up through the house. With the warm, humid days we have here in the summer all the moisture in the air is being pulled into the home, creating the perfect environment for mold. In addition to the moisture, Phil also found that the foundation was in need of support in a few areas.

Per Phil's recommendaiton, Foreman Miguel Inguil and his crew sealed the crawl space using SilverGlo Insulation and CleanSpace Vapr Barrier. This will keep the crawlspace dry. The team also installed SmartJacks around the crawl space to add support to the foundation.

This Crooksville, OH homeowner noticed a myriad of problems in their basement so they called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution. Basement Specialist Phil Matthews conducted a thorough inspection and recommended installing the PowerBrace system to address the foundaiton issues and WaterGuard with an UltraSump to keep the absement dry. 

The Mid-State team installed thirteen PowerBrace I-beams along two of the basement walls and 119 ft of WaterGuard around the interior perimeter of the basement.

Foundation walls begin to buckle, bow, or tilt inward from outside pressure from soil and water and can eventually cause foundation walls to collapse. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help straighten them over time.

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.

Homeowners in Thornville, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems because they noticed leaking water around the walls, as well as mold growth and white residue (called efflorescence).

Our experienced inspector visited this home to determine the best way to permanently repair it. He recommended using WaterGuard, a comprehensive sub-floor drainage system and routing it to the sump pump to remove water from the basement. He also noticed stair-step cracks in one of the walls, so he proposed using PowerBrace beams to prevent further inward movement and attempt to move the wall back to its original position over time. Finally, he said we could use BrightWall to cover up the damage to the wall from water and foundation instability and turn it into a clean and light space.

The homeowners agreed this would be the best repair for them, so we went ahead with the project. They can now rest assured that their home will be dry and safe from further foundation movement.
