He put the brick sidewalk up too high near the shed. So that when the ground froze. I could not open the shed door. The next spring I called him complaining about the shed door and sprinkler system.

Toledo Basement Repair is proud to be a locally owned and operated business that has been serving the community since 1999. As long as there have been basements, there's been basement water problems. Water will find it's way into any basement through cracks in the walls or flooring, through wall and flooring joints, through open vents and through ill-fitting doors and windows. Concrete is a porous material and water will seep through it as water vapor, making basements and crawl spaces a constant source of humidity and dampness. Chronic basement leakage can be a serious problem that can destroy furnishings and appliances, decrease property value, and can cause Black Mold that can have devastating effects on your family's health. Does your basement have leaks when it rains? Call Toledo Basement Repair for expert dry basement solutions. Not in Toledo? Toledo Basement Repair is now offering services to Monroe, Michigan and other parts of Southeast Michigan!

"Exceptional experience from beginning to end! Lisa was my first point of contact. She is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is professional ,knowledgeable and will respond quickly with any questions or concerns you have. I spoke with sherry for scheduling and she was also a fantastic person to work with and helped me with some concerns I had. Shawn and Nick are true professionals. They were on time, explained the process and did an excellent job and cleaned up. I had 5 slabs of concrete leveled on my driveway using crushed limestone as the void filler. I have done a lot of research on concrete leveling and found that the limestone slurry was not only the best option for my situation but also much, much less expensive and more precise than foam. Meaning there is more room for correcting errors while leveling whereas if foam were used once the foam is injected it’s set. Limestone is much more forgiving until it sets. Great Company! "
