"It was great. Josh Betts returned my call first thing the next morning, and he was at the property quickly (and on a Sunday). Josh was right on time for the walk-through with our contractor. We had the repair plans the following afternoon. Josh is clearly very knowledgeable. I would recommend Betts Structural with absolutely no hesitation."

"Matt K and his crew did a very thorough job with interior and exterior work to waterproof our foundation and basement. They were running behind on another job so were a bit delayed in getting started but made up for it by working through part of the weekend to finish up."

"Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I took multiple bids on my basement project across basement companies in Columbus. Mid state basement systems had the best and most fair pricing. They did not use any scare tactics and were upfront and honest. They were also the only company to use a laser level and show me the sag difference in my joists that I was experiencing. I hired mid-state basement systems to do crawl space support and repair on my load bearing wall in my basement. MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE AS LOAD BEARING WALLS NORMALLY DO NOT NEED TO BE REPAIRED LIKE THIS! At first, it was not level upon completion (BARELY 1/8 INCH OFF) in ONE spot and I let my sales rep Jiovanni know. the team came back out within 48 hrs and adjusted everything and let me take a look at it. They did a fantastic job. The installation crew even wiped down my floors for me after they were done! They were so polite, and respectful and made sure there was no damage to anything as they were moving steel beams to my basement ( my fridge was an object in the way to the basement door ) Do not let competitors make you question the validity of this business. they were fantastic. Rating of sales 5/5 Rating of the installation crew 5/5 Rating of management 5/5 Rating of mid-state as a company : 10/5 I do not believe I would have received this level of responsiveness of any of the competitors. I would choose mid-state basements for any basement project I had. Please use my review to know that mid-state basement systems will do the job the right way and how you need it to be done. In my experience, they offer the most fair pricing."

"Erie Homes completed a basement waterproofing for us on 11/20/23. We were impressed and pleased by the professionalism and communication at every phase of the project. Brandon expertly explained the Erie Homes waterproofing system, sump pumps, materials, and warranty and provided us with a quote and pricing details. Having being burned by projects in the past, we came back with a long list of questions and conditions. Brandon answered every single one, made sure that we were completely satisfied with the terms, and added our notes to the contract. Project manager Gage and the team that came to our home was quick and professional. They periodically filled us in on the progress and communicated any changes or concerns. When the project was completed, they walked us through and made sure we were happy with the work before leaving. Since finishing, we have had several rainy weeks and a completely dry basement. Based on the product, work, and customer service, we will be highly recommending Erie Homes to anyone needing basement or waterproofing work."

"The techs did a great job, and once I alerted them to my flower beds directly in front of the porch to be lifted, were very careful not to damage my emerging hostas. I'd definitely recommend Acculevel and already have to my sister for her patio/parking spot."

"Came out Christmas Eve for a disaster of a water heater basically exploding. Never met Them before and James came out from Lima to Perrysburg and saved the day and Christmas. Price was fair and less than I thought it would be. So blessed to find an honest expert"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Foundation masonry work directly impacts your exterior drainage and radon mitigation systems. Since Ottawa sits in a high radon zone, seal all foundation cracks to block gas entry. Additionally, chimney repairs affect your HVAC venting. Always hire a certified specialist to ensure gas appliances vent safely. Finally, call the OH utility notification service before digging to protect underground lines.

Helpful?

In the short term, completing masonry work reduces basement moisture and stops cold drafts during harsh Ottawa winters. Properly sealed foundations also provide immediate resilience against local flooding. Over the long term, maintaining your mortar preserves the structural integrity of older brick homes for decades. Addressing drainage and foundation cracks early permanently stabilizes your home against shifting OH clay soils.

Helpful?

Completing masonry work directly blocks basement moisture, a common issue caused by Ottawa's heavy clay soils and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Sealing foundation walls and repairing mortar joints keeps your home dry and comfortable. Additionally, repointing chimney crowns stops cold air infiltration during long OH winters, which improves your heating efficiency and eliminates drafts in older brick homes.

Helpful?

Repairing mortar joints and sealing chimney crowns is far more cost-effective than full replacements. Catching deterioration early prevents severe brick spalling caused by the frequent freeze-thaw cycles in Ottawa. However, replacement becomes necessary if heavy clay soils cause extreme foundation shifting or if bricks deteriorate beyond the surface. Consult a local professional to assess the structural safety of your masonry work.

Helpful?

Start by inspecting and repairing your foundation walls. The heavy clay soils and deep frost lines in OH place immense pressure on foundations, making crack sealing your top priority. Next, schedule a thorough chimney assessment to fix any damaged crowns before winter. Finally, inspect exterior brick mortar joints and basement window wells to prevent water intrusion during Ottawa spring floods.
