"We want to thank Matt K and his crew who worked on our basement. They were very approachable and easy to communicate with whenever I had questions. The crew worked so hard and we were amazed at how quick and efficiently they got the job done. Their clean up was also the best experience I've had with any contractor. I almost wish they did other work around the house cause I would hire them again! Great team. Thank you so much for all your hard work. We can't wait to enjoy our basement again."

"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."

"We had an attached screened-in porch that was sinking.Acculevel came in and detailed every aspect of the repair project and then followed thru to the most minuet detail. Excellent work and very detail oriented. Friendly and cooperative service team that completed the work. This seemed like what was going to be a complicated job, using augered jacks, concrete removal, and replacing trex floor. ...In a nutshell, they made what seemed hard..very manageableand 100% solved.Excellent service, excellant price......Terry M."

"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

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
