Toledo's Trusted Crawl Space Repair & Basement Waterproofing

This homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems to repair a bowing wall in their basement. We sent out Phil Watkins to inspect the property and make a recommendation.

Phil suggested supporting the wall with the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System.

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.

Foreman Levi and the Mid-State crew installed these steel i-beams and saved this homeowner from the eventual collapse of their foundation walls.

In Toledo, OH, a homeowner with a 100-year-old house noticed foundation cracking where the original structure had settled more than a later addition. This kind of damage can lead to sagging floors, water intrusion, and interior cracks in bricks or drywall. After seeing a Valpak ad for Mid-State Basement Systems, the homeowner scheduled a free estimate. Our design specialist, Phil, inspected the home and recommended the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the foundation and stop the cracks from worsening. This strong, low-profile solution helps protect the home from future structural issues without the need for exterior excavation.

A homeowner in Toldeo, OH started to notice puddles of water appearing in his unfinished basement. If he wanted to complete his basement, he would have to fix this issue soon. This led to him giving Mid-State Basement Systems a call. Eventually, Our Inspector Phil went out to the home to give a free estimate. One of the main Phil saw was the lack of any kind of sump pump. So, the inspector had our crew install our best products for the job. Our WaterGuard interior drainage system was installed to capture wall seepage. To compliment the WaterGuard system, we also added a TripleSafe sump pump to discharge the collected water. This sump pump will ensure that his basement can combat heavy rainfall and discharge during power outages, due to our built-in backup battery! Now this basement can stay dry, all the time!

In Northwood, Ohio, a homeowner’s crawl space was damp, dirty, and plagued by mold and sagging insulation. Low-hanging pipes added to the challenges. After assessing the situation, our inspector recommended a comprehensive, lasting solution.

Our team installed drainage matting, applied a CleanSpace vapor barrier, and replaced old insulation with SilverGlo. They also covered a troublesome vent with a CleanSpace vent cover and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy. Our crew completed this project within a single day! The homeowner was thrilled with the turnout. 

A homeowner in Northwood, Ohio, was facing a serious foundation problem caused by soil settlement. The brick foundation had begun to crack, and our Sales Inspector warned that delaying the repair would lead to higher costs. Helical Piers were determined to be the best solution for the foundation settlement.

These piers work by anchoring into stable soil, allowing the foundation’s weight to be transferred. Our team installed the Helical Piers, stabilizing and lifting the foundation within two days. The homeowner was glad to see their home protected from further sinking.

In Zanesfield, OH, a concerned homeowner reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems when her basement began displaying signs of water damage. Responding to the call, one of our dedicated basement waterproofing specialists, conducted a comprehensive property inspection to provide a tailored solution.

Following his assessment, we recommended the installation of the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System in conjunction with an UltraSump sump pump as a proactive measure against potential water damage.

The WaterGuard system is meticulously positioned within the basement's perimeter, effectively capturing seepage from the walls and floor before it can reach the basement floor. Inlet holes allow water to enter the system, and it is then channeled through a drainage pipe to the sump pump. The UltraSump sump pump, equipped with a backup battery, ensures continuous operation even in the event of a power outage.

Under the capable leadership of Foreman Raul Caulderon, the Mid-State team expertly installed the drainage system and the new sump pump, enhancing the basement's protection and ensuring a dry environment.

This basement was primarily being used for storage, and this homeowner wanted to ensure that their belongings stayed intact and were safe from water intrusion. Water intrusion can damage belongings, furniture, flooring, and other valuable items. Installing WaterGuard can provide peace of mind by protecting these items from potential water damage. Our crews installed a full perimeter WaterGuard System as well as a SuperSump system to ensure the water drains out and away from the home. 

This Powell, Ohio homeowner noticed moisture issues in their basement so they called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution.

Certified Inspector Stephen Davis thoroughly evaluated the space and suggested WaterGuard, which is our favorite interior drainage system. WaterGuard sits along the interior perimeter of the basement and redirects water to the sump pump.

The homeowner also wanted to improve the appearance of the basement without totally finishing it, so foreman Brent Lopez and his crew also installed our BrightWall paneling system, Thermal Dry Carpet, and a SunHouse basement window enclosure.

Conventional basement finishing products are often inappropriate for the basement environment. Materials such as drywall, latex paint, wallpaper, wood, and fiberglass resins all contain organic materials that can grow mold and be damaged by moisture.

Basements are unique spaces with their own sets of challenges--what works upstairs will not necessarily work down here. Our basement products install in one to two days, permanently upgrading the look and feel of your basement. Our basement walls and floorings are compatible with our complete basement waterproofing system for a dry, healthy, attractive space.

If you're interested in upgrading your space, but aren't interested in investing in a full finishing, these are the basement products for you!
