Our Services for You

Basement Waterproofing

Your basement, due to its underground position and local wet weather, is prone to damage. Watch for flooding and water damage, mold and mildew, efflorescence, and unpleasant odors.

These issues, while common, undermine your home’s structure and pose risks to your family’s health and safety.

Ohio Basement Authority tackles these issues head-on, providing durable solutions that actively gather and expel water and humidity. These tailored solutions include interior drainagesump pumpsdehumidifiers, wall vapor barriers, and more.

Foundation Repair

A strong foundation is essential for your home’s safety and longevity, yet it can be easily damaged by unstable, expansive soil. Signs of this damage include cracksbowing wallsuneven floors, drywall cracks, and nail pops.

If these problems are ignored, they can compromise your home’s stability, cause cosmetic damage, lead to costly repairs, and pose safety risks.

Our team employs only the most reliable and durable solutions to permanently stabilize your home and secure it on solid ground. These include various wall repair and reinforcement systems, pier systems, and crawl space supports. These systems can be fully customized to meet your foundation’s specific needs.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair

In Cleveland, some homes have a crawl space instead of a basement. These spaces can suffer from problems such as elevated humidity, infestations, mold, musty smells, and rotting wood.

These issues can worsen your family’s health, harm your home’s structure, and create an unsafe environment.

Sealing and conditioning the crawl space is the best solution. Ohio Basement Authority provides permanent crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions. These include drainagesump pumps, thermal insulation, vapor barriersdehumidifiers, and support posts.

concrete lifting installation

Concrete Lifting

Concrete is durable, but damage often occurs in areas like your sidewalk and driveway. If the soil underneath isn’t stable, the concrete can crack and sink. This can lead to uneven areas, tripping hazards and other problems.

There are many concrete lifting and repair methods available. Our team at Ohio Basement Authority uses a safe, fast, and effective method of concrete lifting with polyurethane foam injections. This lightweight, durable foam is less invasive and quick-curing. It’s also eco-friendly and can be applied to surfaces like your sidewalk, driveway, pool deck, and interior slab floors.

FAQs

Many homeowners believe that moisture simply comes with the territory of owning a house with a basement. While dampness is common, it is not a normal or safe condition for your basement or home.

Below are some of the typical ways moisture enters your basement. If you notice any of them, reach out to your local basement waterproofing professionals right away for an inspection and repairs.

If your home has shifted and settled due to unstable soil, Ohio Basement Authority will install a pier system beneath your foundation to permanently stabilize and help lift it.

Steel helical piers or push piers are placed deep into the soil, bypassing problematic surface soils. They are advanced far enough until they hit bedrock or more stable load-bearing strata that won’t be affected by the elements.

Helical piers have screw-like blades on the ends of each pier, making it easier for them to “bite into” the soil. They are ideal to use on lighter structures.

Push piers, also known as resistance piers, offer the same support. They are manually pushed into the ground and work best with heavier buildings.

Basement wall waterproofing should be performed before starting the finishing process. This preventative measure protects against moisture seepage, mold, mildew, and wood rot, ensuring your basement remains permanently dry and healthy.
