Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Columbus, OH

Water leaking inside your basement, especially during or following heavy rain, is common. So are issues with efflorescence, mold, musty smells, and other damage.

However, these troubles are not safe or healthy for your home or family. You should not have to put up with these health hazards and structural threats.

Ohio Basement Authority will permanently safeguard your home with our trusted, customizable interior drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, wall vapor barriers, and other basement waterproofing solutions. Installed together, these products work to actively collect and remove water and humidity from your home, creating a safe and dry environment.

Your house relies on its foundation to stay standing for years to come, but the foundation will start shifting and settling, or suffer from other damage if the underlying soil is unstable. You’ll notice telltale symptoms including cracking walls, uneven floors, bowing walls, and sticking windows and doors.

The damage will only get worse, more costly to repair, and more dangerous for your family the longer it goes unrepaired. That is why swiftly taking action at the first sign of trouble is crucial.

Ohio Basement Authority offers a variety of permanent foundation repair solutions that bypass unstable soil and put your home back on solid ground. These products include wall anchors, wall braces, carbon fiber wall straps, crawl space supports, helical piers, and push piers. 

Some homes in Columbus were built on a crawl space or a partial crawl space may be adjacent to a basement. This area is susceptible to damage from water and humidity, including mold growth, infestations, wood rot, and unpleasant odors.

Because of the stack effect, all these issues negatively impact your home and family, from the air you breathe inside your house to the floors you walk on.

Ohio Basement Authority can stop these issues in their tracks by sealing and conditioning your crawl space with trusted crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions. We’ll install drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, thermal insulation panels, and support posts. 

Your property’s concrete, like your driveway and sidewalk, can succumb to damage over time, even though concrete is a tough material. Because of unstable underlying soil, the concrete slabs crack, sink, become uneven, and result in tripping hazards and other problems.

Our polyurethane foam injections are lightweight, yet durable and can be used to effectively lift many areas including your sidewalk, driveway, pool deck, and interior slab floors. 

By turning a basement into a well-designed living area, such as a cozy family room, modern home office, or inviting guest suite, you can significantly expand your home’s usable square footage. Professional basement finishing can improve your home’s layout and versatility, accommodating your evolving needs and lifestyle.

Basement finishing also addresses common issues such as moisture and poor insulation, creating a more comfortable and healthier living environment. Columbus homeowners benefit from expert solutions that resolve these concerns, ensuring a dry, well-insulated space that enhances the overall energy efficiency of the home.
