Mid-State Basement Systems serving Millbury, OH

A homeowner in Millbury, Ohio, called Mid-State Basement Systems about several problems in his crawl space. We sent our Sales Inspector, Phil, to the home for a free inspection and estimate of repairs. After investigating the crawl space inside and out, Phil found several signs of water entry including high humidity, musty smells, and wet, crumbling fiberglass insulation. He also noticed the floor joists and beams were sagging, a classic sign of foundation settlement.

After reporting his findings, Phil worked with the homeowner to come up with a game plan for repairs. They agreed to encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace system and take care of the sagging floors with our SmartJack crawl space stabilizing beams. Once the contract was complete, a date was scheduled for our crew to come out and begin the repairs.

On the day of the job, the crew arrived in an All Things Basementy box truck with all the tools and materials necessary to complete the job. First, they cleared the crawl space of all debris and old insulation. After that, they installed the SmartJacks first by pouring a concrete footing as a stable base. Once this was cured, they installed the SmartJacks on top of the concrete footing, fitting them to the height of the floor joist. SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to potentially correct floor movement as well. 
With the SmartJacks in place, the crew could now get to work on the encapsulation. They began by laying down drainage matting on the crawl space floors to help disperse any moisture beneath the liner. They then installed the CleanSpace liner on top of the drainage matting, extending it to cover the length of the crawl space walls. Once complete, the crawl space is sealed from the ground, eliminating moisture, mold and pest concerns!

A homeowner in Millbury, OH, had an old sump pump that wasn’t keeping up with water intrusion. We replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump, which features three pumps: a primary pump for everyday use, a backup pump in case of high water volume, and a battery-powered pump for protection during power outages. We also extended the discharge line and installed IceGuard, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes. Now, the homeowner has a reliable system to keep their basement dry.

A damp, musty crawl space in Millbury, OH, was causing mold growth and high humidity in the home. To fix this, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a thick, durable liner that fully seals off the crawl space floor and walls from outside moisture. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, which removes excess humidity and improves air quality. To address structural concerns, we reinforced the floor joists with SmartJack support posts, which are installed on engineered fill and adjusted for maximum support. Now, the home has a dry, stable, and energy-efficient crawl space.
