This basement wall has developed a large horizontal crack—a common sign of bowing due to external soil pressure. As the foundation walls weaken, they start to push inward, compromising the home's structural integrity. Without reinforcement, the wall could continue to bow and eventually fail. Our team installed static beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, ensuring the long-term safety of this home.
For wall cracks, we start by sealing the crack with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. This gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. Light gray in color, it gives the repair a professional, finished appearance.
At Mid-State Basement Systems, we install exclusive sump pump systems that have been patented and developed by the largest waterproofing contractor in the industry - Basement Systems, Inc. If and when water enters the basement, the water will channel to a drainage system and make it's way to the sump basin, where it is then pumped up and away from the house.
This homeowner in Westerville had an existing sump pump, but it wasn’t enough for his large basement. He called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution. Our team installed a TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe sump pump system sports three sump pumps in one sump liner with the third pump working off a battery in case of a power outage, making this an optimal solution.
