  I’m super pleased with the work Bay did us, it made a difference almost immediately. Our service advisor, Beau, did an excellent job of identifying the issues in our crawl and offering reasonably priced solutions. The team they sent out to do the work was awesome…Troy and Ashwan were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficientshow more

  I can't say enough good things about Midstate Basement Authorities. From my first experience with the office manager, my initial meeting with the president of the company, Eric Leach(who is a very hands on leader), to the last of the work being completed, everyone was professional, hard working, respectful, friendly, courteous and polite. The first time Eric came to meet me he gave me an information packet about the company. I was very impressed by that and very much liked the fact that Midstate is a local company. Before I agreed to have the work done, Eric was very helpful in answering all of my questions. We communicated via phone and e mails. He was always very prompt in getting back to me with an answer to my questions. The work took two days to complete. I found the men who were here to have all of the qualities that I stated above. They would keep me informed as to what was happening in the work process. They arrived on time, worked very hard and before they left (after putting in long hours) cleaned everything up. I am amazed at how clean the area where the small cement mixer had been is. After the job was completed I had one small thing I wanted adjusted and the next day, after contacting Eric, it was taken care of. Before this job was done, in my Bilco door area, every time it rained water came in through the walls and floors. Since the work was completed it has rained and the area is DRY!!!! I would highly recommend this company to anyone with a wet basement!show more

  I can't say enough about how prompt, efficient and professional Eric, Adam and all of the team from Midstate Basement Authorities have been. When our basement flooded, I called Midstate and Eric and Adam were here the next day. I had a proposal in 2 days and they were here to do the work within a week of my signing the proposal. Following the installation of the basement system and sump, I discovered that the drainage line I had them hook the sump,outflow to was not adequate and called Eric. He was there the next day and worked out a solution that also solved my long standing problem with the water flow from our gutter downspouts. Other contractors have attempted to resolve the gutter downspout problem without success. Eric quickly designed a drainage system that will finally solve all of the drainage problems on our property. The workers from Midstate were courteous and respectful while working in our house. They kept us informed of their progress and took care to make sure that their work caused as little disruption As possible. The quality of the work that they performed is excellent. We would not hesitate at all to use them again and recommend them highly. They are not only very professional, they also provide exceptional customer serviceshow more

  The company's job backlog caused a 3-month delay on the start of work at our home. I understand that they have made changes to prevent this in the future. Once they were here, the experience was excellent. Friendly, capable crew on time every day. The work was done quickly and well, and the pricing was very fair. Communication during the work was very good. I'm glad we chose themshow more

  I can't say enough positive things about the job that Midstate did for us. We are in the process of selling our house, so it was crucial that we had the issues with our foundation parge coat addressed quickly and professionally. From the initial consultation to the follow up visit the day after work was completed, we were provided with top-notch service. We received a detailed estimate, outlining exactly what was to be done and Eric quickly and thoroughly responded to all of our follow-up questions before and during the work. The work crew was punctual, efficient, and meticulous in their maintenance and clean up of the work area. I daresay that they left the basement even cleaner than they found it! Of course, the work itself looks great-- out 100+ year old foundation looks like it will stand for another 100 years. Given our circumstances, we were particularly appreciate of their willingness, at a busy point in the season, to accomodate our need to get things done quickly, even when we asked (twice!) to change the start date at the last minute. I would enthusiastically recommend Midstate for any basement waterproofing or foundation job, large or small. These guys are true professionalsshow more

  We're renovating a 1910 house in downtown Ithaca and our structural engineer found some weak spots in the old stone foundation. Also, the dirt crawlspace was horribly musty and mice-infested. The whole house smelled like dirt. Midstate was prompt to reply and come out to the property and then emailed a quote. We got one other quote for the crawlspace encapsulation from the outfit most known for that service in Ithaca, but Midstate was quite a bit less. Foundation repair estimate wasn't cheap, but the stone foundation was really bad and involved pouring concrete, etc, so the price seems fair. Got on the schedule very quickly and had new concrete footers poured in front and back of house, several rotted support posts were replaced with pressure-treated 6x6's, and crawlspace was completely encapsulated. We're just waiting on our spray-foam contractor to seal around the edges of the crawlspace when he sprays the rest of the house in a couple weeks. CRAWLSPACE ENCAPSULATION note... this is the best money we will probably have spent on this entire renovation. The entire house smelled like dust and dirt and dead mice. Even sticking my head in the crawlspace made me cough. Now, it's completely lined with a thick bright white sheet of plastic with not an inch of dirt in sight, and the support posts are all solid. The air quality difference is already astounding. The entire house used to smell like crawlspace but now the crawlspace itself doesn't even smell. Very happy with this decisionshow more

  Eric and crew were great to work with on a big job they just finished for us replacing the entire foundation of an old house in Ithaca. The original foundation was in danger of collapse. Working with Taitem Engineering the crew at Midstate assessed the scope of the job and designed a fixed bid job to shore up the house, replace several joists and remove the old foundation walls. Along the way the entire HVAC system had to be removed and put back and plumbing and electrical had to be changed across the basement. The house looked like it was being raised up mid job with the old foundation removed and the house safely shored up. After removing part of the old foundation walls the crew found further structural issues with the house framing. They consulted with the engineer and came up with a plan to fix the problem. It was a change in scope and design, but Eric didn't change the price of the job. They changed the footer and wall design and worked with me to get the approval to change the job. The additional shoring that was needed on the job because of the change didn't cost us anything extra and now the house is level, secure and stronger than it was before by a longshot. Plumbing, HVAC and electrical are all back in place and passed inspection. Erik even personally made sure the hot water was on and working throughout the house. The crew worked **** ** the job on time and professionally each step of the way. Eric also managed multiple subcontractors on the job and dealt with the permitting process and the City of Ithaca directly. Last day on the job they were cleaning up small specks of material that I would have missed or not really cared about. They also communicated well with the church next door to use their parking lot for access. After the job they returned the church parking lot to better than it was before by grading out some gravel others had snowplowed into a corner before Midstate's job even started. I've already recommended Midstate to friends and wouldn't hesitate to work with them againshow more

  I would recommend this company to anyone! From the president, to office staff to the incredibly wonderful workers ---they have been excellent. Throughout the cellar, I had the front wall braced, a sump pump installed, a moisture barrier put on the walls and plywood over all the walls. The company dug out and sealed cracks in the floor and arranged to have it painted. Midstate also dug around the front and side of my house and installed pipe and stone to wisk water from the front. I sit in an usual place because I get run off from state and county roads and a farmer's 107-acre field. Of course, no one will to do anything about it. For the last three years, after a moderate rain I would listen to my sump pump go off every two to three minutes. I was a nervous wreck. Since the restoration, everything is dry and I really haven't heard my sump pump run. It has been pure heaven. Everyone I have dealth with from Midstate has been caring and professional. They even sent flowers when I had a car accident! They truly are a wonderful companyshow more

  Midstate Basement Authorities did a great job on this project. 1) All workers were very professional, and responsive to any questions or requests I had. 2) The complexity of this job increased once we discovered that a significant amount of water was leaking from an underground pipe just outside our basement wall. 3) They were able to simultaneously finish the drainage system and sump pump project as well as excavating outside to find and cap off the leaking pipeshow more
