Before & After Photos

The stairstep cracking in this basement alarmed the homeowner and they wanted a solution, fast. Our crew installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation wall. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.

This Worthington, OH basement was cracking and starting to bow. They were also experiencing water in the basement and wanted everything taken care of at once. The Mid-State Basements Team installed a full perimeter WaterGuard system, a french drain at the entrance, and PowerBraces to support the foundation.

Homeowners in Amesville, OH called Mid-State Basement System because they had flooding in their basement that had damaged the paneling on the walls. Once they had taken down the damaged paneling, they also noticed that the cement block walls were cracked and shifting. We installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, a SuperSump sump pump, Carbon Fiber strips, PowerBrace i-beams, and redirected to downspouts away from the home. The homeowners are happy with the repairs and no longer have to worry about the basement leaking or the integrity of the foundation.

A homeowner in New Concord, OH wanted to finish her basement but realized the walls were cracked and bowing. She wanted to take care of this problem first before covering up the problem with drywall. She called Mid-State Basement Systems to come out and provide a free estimate on repair for the walls. One of our inspectors, Mitch Mink, visited her home to investigate the situation and told her that carbon fiber strips would be the best solution. Carbon fiber is a material with a very high tensile strength, this means it is nearly impossible to break it with pressure. We attach these to a bowing or cracked wall to prevent any further inward movement.

The homeowner decided this was a great solution and went with our company for the project. Now, the walls are stabilized and she can move on with her basement finishing project.
