Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Gambier, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems because he had a cellar that was always wet, had a sagging ceiling, and had crumbling foundation walls. Our certified inspector, John Tongol, inspected the cellar and proposed a total solution to repair the walls and get rid of the water. The homeowner agreed to have this work completed and our crew, led by foreman Valentin Rosales, came out to install the products. They installed SmartJacks to jack up the ceiling of the cellar to keep the floor above from collapsing. They also installed some subfloor drains and finished by encapsulating the whole area in CleanSpace vapor barrier.

When our inspector, Phil Matthews showed up to take a look at this Somerset, OH crawl space, he found a few issues that needed addressing. Phil explained to the homeowner that the amount of ventilation in his crawl space was sucking outside air and pulling it up through the house. With the warm, humid days we have here in the summer all the moisture in the air is being pulled into the home, creating the perfect environment for mold. In addition to the moisture, Phil also found that the foundation was in need of support in a few areas.

Per Phil's recommendaiton, Foreman Miguel Inguil and his crew sealed the crawl space using SilverGlo Insulation and CleanSpace Vapr Barrier. This will keep the crawlspace dry. The team also installed SmartJacks around the crawl space to add support to the foundation.

An Athens, Ohio, homeowner had a damp crawl space that needed to be properly insulated and sealed up. He called Mid-State Basement Systems to come do the job right. The crew installed our SilverGlo rigid foam insulation panels and CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to seal out moisture, dirt, mold, and pests. Now, this crawl space is clean and dry, and the air in the crawl space and throughout the home is cleaner and more efficient to heat and cool!

This basement in Malta, OH, had cracked, bowing foundation walls that were leaking water into the basement. The homeowner contacted Mid-State Basement Systems to do a full perimeter of WaterGuard and our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to seal out the moisture and properly drain water seepage through the sump pump system. To stabilize the bowing foundation walls, the crew also installed our PowerBrace foundation support beams. Now, this homeowner's basement is clean, dry, and safe!

A homeowner in New Concord, OH wanted to finish her basement but needed storage space to move everything from the current basement into. She had a crawl space, but it was dirty and humid, so she didn't want to put anything in there as-is. So, she called Mid-State Basement Systems to encapsulate and insulate the crawl space.

We installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier (a 20-millimeter thick plastic barrier similar to a pool liner) and SilverGlo insulation.

Now, the crawl space is moisture-free and well-insulated. The homeowner can move all of the things that need to be stored from the basement into the crawl space, and she can start on her basement finishing project!
