Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Repair Experts in Mechanicsburg, OH

A homeowner in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, took action when her basement began exhibiting concerning signs of water damage. Recognizing the importance of addressing this issue promptly, she reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems for a professional assessment.

Mid-State Basement Systems dispatched a skilled basement waterproofing specialist to thoroughly inspect the property and provide a tailored recommendation for resolving the water damage concerns.

After careful evaluation, we proposed the installation of the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and an UltraSump sump pump to safeguard the basement against potential future water damage.

The WaterGuard system, strategically placed along the interior perimeter of the basement, is designed to efficiently capture any seepage from both walls and floors before it reaches the basement floor. Water enters the system through strategically placed inlet holes and is channeled through a drainage pipe, ultimately reaching the sump pump for removal. What sets the UltraSump apart is its backup battery, ensuring the continued operation of the sump pump even in the event of a power outage.

Our dedicated Mid-State crew promptly installed the recommended drainage system and the new sump pump, effectively securing the basement and keeping it dry. The entire project was completed within the day, providing the homeowners with the assurance that their basement is now protected from flooding and water damage. They can rest easy knowing their property is safeguarded by our reliable solutions.

Upon discovering a troubling bowing wall in his  basement, homeowner Andrew recognized the urgency of the situation and the need for a prompt solution. Andrew, determined to address the issue before it escalated further, reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems for assistance.

Mid-State Basement Systems promptly responded to Andrew's call, sending a basement specialist  to assess the situation. Our representative swiftly identified the problem and proposed a suitable solution to rectify it. To implement this solution, a team of experienced professionals were dispatched to Andrew's property.

The Mid-State crew executed the recommended repairs by installing 12 PowerBrace I-beams on two walls within the basement. The PowerBrace system, known for its versatility, allows for gradual tightening over time. This feature assists in the process of gradually straightening the bowing wall while providing crucial support against the external soil pressure that contributes to the issue.

With the expertise of Mid-State Basement Systems, Andrew's bowing wall was not only addressed but a solution was put in place to help rectify the problem over time, ensuring the long-term structural integrity of his home.

A concerned homeowner was troubled by the bouncy and uneven floors in her home, coupled with a persistent musty smell that she suspected was coming from the crawl space. As these issues worsened over time, she went online to find reputable crawl space repair companies capable of inspecting and addressing the problems.

Our Certified Inspector visited the home to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the crawl space and develop a plan of action to address the homeowner's concerns. It was discovered that the uneven floors were primarily caused by several floor joists in the crawl space sagging due to aging and, in some cases, wood rot. The inspector also explained to the homeowner that the absence of a vapor barrier liner allowed moisture and humidity to persist, potentially leading to mold growth over time.

To rectify these issues, our experienced Foreman and crew members undertook the encapsulation of the crawl space using the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier effectively sealed both the ground and walls, preventing easy access for water and moisture. The floor joists were reinforced by installing our SmartJack support posts, offering a permanent solution to stabilize them.

The homeowner was highly satisfied with the results of the crawl space encapsulation and floor repairs, finally addressing the concerns that had been plaguing her home.
