Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Mansfield, OH

Water in your basement might not be a big deal at first. However, ignoring this problem could lead to more serious complications. Water can leak into your basement through the walls, floor, windows, burst pipes, malfunctioning drainage, and faulty appliances. This is a huge problem in Mansfield, where we experience more than 41 inches of rain and 36 inches of snow every year! Ohio Basement Authority can install waterproofing solutions like sump pumps, interior drains, dehumidifiers, and wall vapor barriers to dry out your basement. That prevents mold, musty smells, and other damage that compromise your family’s health and your home’s structural integrity.

Environmental forces can destroy your home’s foundation, resulting in costly repairs. Many Mansfield homes are built on silty loam soil that contains clay, making these properties vulnerable to damage. Also, some locals have soils that easily wash away or poorly drained soils that expand and press against their home’s foundation. When a foundation lacks support from underlying soils, it causes walls and floors to crack, basement walls to bow inward, and chimneys to crack and tilt. Ohio Basement Authority will safeguard your property with helical piers, push piers, crawl space supports, wall braces, wall anchors, or carbon fiber wall reinforcements.

Your property might be on top of a crawl space that lifts your home off the ground, providing some flood protection to your main living space. Many crawl spaces have open vents that cause various issues, such as flooding, mold, wood rot, pest infestations, and high humidity that can impact the rest of your home. Our crawl space repair and encapsulation services prevent moisture intrusion in your home. Some of our solutions include vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, thermal insulation, and support posts.

Driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, and other concrete outside your home can deteriorate over time, resulting in cracks, sinking, unevenness, pits, flakes, and stains, and other damage. Unstable silt loam and clay soil with too little or too much moisture can’t support concrete slabs, meaning you might need to invest in concrete lifting and leveling solutions. For example, our polyurethane foam avoids unstable soil, restores the safety and appearance of concrete slabs, and provides other benefits.

Transforming your basement into a fully functional living space can add value to your home. You can also maximize your flooring interior without decreasing the size of your yard. Our basement finishing services include, ceiling tiles, lighting, windows, and wall panels that improve the appearance and functionality of this downstairs area. While some other companies use wood studs, plywood, gypsum board, and other materials not suitable for your property, we only provide homeowners with the highest-quality basement-ready products.
