Basement Waterproofing, Finishing, & Foundation Repair in Akron, OH

Your basement, due to its below-ground location and local wet weather, is susceptible to damage. Be vigilant for signs of flooding and water damage, mold and mildew, efflorescence, and unpleasant odors.

While these issues are common, they threaten your home’s structure and your family’s health and safety.

Ohio Basement Authority addresses these problems directly, offering robust solutions that actively manage and eliminate water and humidity. These custom solutions include interior drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, wall vapor barriers, and more.

Your home’s safety and longevity depend on a strong foundation. However, unstable, expansive soil can easily damage it. Indications of such damage include cracks, bowing walls, uneven floors, drywall cracks, and nail pops.

Ignoring these issues can threaten your home’s stability, cause cosmetic damage, result in costly repairs, and pose safety risks.

Our team uses reliable, durable solutions to permanently stabilize your home on solid ground. These solutions include various wall repair and reinforcement systems, pier systems, and crawl space supports. These systems can be customized to address your foundation’s specific needs.

In Akron, some homes have a crawl space instead of a basement. These spaces are susceptible to issues like elevated humidity, infestations, mold, musty odors, and rotting wood.

Such problems can risk your family’s health, damage your home’s structure, and create an unsafe environment.

The most effective solution is to seal and condition the crawl space. Ohio Basement Authority offers long-lasting crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions, including drainage, sump pumps, thermal insulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and support posts.

Concrete is durable, but damage is common in areas like your sidewalk and driveway. If the soil underneath is unstable, it can cause the concrete to crack and sink leading to uneven areas, tripping hazards and other issues.

Various concrete lifting and repair methods exist. However, at Ohio Basement Authority, we use a safe, quick, and effective method of concrete lifting with polyurethane foam injections. This lightweight, durable foam is less invasive and cures quickly. It’s also environmentally friendly and can be applied to surfaces like your sidewalk, driveway, pool deck, and interior slab floors.
