Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Elyria, OH

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 drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, 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 cracks, bowing walls, uneven 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

Many homes in Elyria and across Northeast Ohio have a crawl space foundation 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 drainage, sump pumps, thermal insulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and support posts.

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.
