Energy Efficient Dehumidifier Installation in Baltimore, OH

A few months ago, our team installed 84ft of WaterGuard interior perimeter drains and an UltraSump sump pump system in his Baltimore, OH home.

Crawl Space Repair in Stoutsville, OH

In Stoutsville, OH, a homeowner found themselves grappling with an issue in their seemingly well-maintained crawlspace: persistent moisture problems were impacting the air quality within their home. Perplexed by the situation, the homeowner turned to Mid-State Basement Systems in search of solutions.

Foundation Issues Addressed in Lithopolis, OH

In Lithopolis, OH, a residential property faced troubling foundation issues within its basement. The basement walls were displaying clear signs of structural deterioration, including the presence of cracks and noticeable bowing. In situations where the installation of wall anchors isn't feasible, often due to factors like property line restrictions or adverse soil conditions, our team turns to the reliable solution of power brace brackets.

 

These specialized brackets are specifically designed to deliver security and stabilization to the compromised structure, serving as a cost-effective alternative to the extensive replacement of the walls themselves. What makes them particularly appealing is their minimal disruption to both the home's interior and the surrounding landscaping.

 

The installation process involves affixing these brackets at both the top and bottom of each I-beam, securely anchoring them to the basement floor with concrete anchors. The top brackets are then fastened to the floor joists above. By utilizing turning adjustments, steady pressure is exerted on the I-beam, gradually coaxing the wall back to its original position over time.

 

With our power brace system successfully implemented, this home can now enjoy the assurance of enhanced security and stability for the long term.

Basement Waterproofing in Lithopolis, OH
