Toledo Basement Repair

Finishing a basement is often a wise and large investment. If you ever sell your home to collect on that investment, a Home Inspector will take infrared photos of your walls. Therefore, it is very important not to put the cart before the horse. Your home should be water (liquid) and water vapor (humidity) proof. I know it is not nearly as exciting as finishing the basement, but it will save you a lot of misery in the end. Take a look at some of these basements that were destined for failure. If your basement looks like one of these, be wise and do it right with Toledo Basement Repair.

Do you want a healthy, dry home? If so, you've come to the right place. At Toledo Basement Repair, we strive to provide homeowners with the best basement and crawl space dehumidification systems available for their homes. Over 40% of the air you breathe on the 1st floor of your home comes from your basement or crawl space through a natural occurrence called stack-effect. If your basement or crawl space is not healthy, then your home is not healthy. Toledo Basement Repair‘s air filtration systems will help improve the air quality by combating the natural "stack effect" (the law of physics that says warm air rises) in the home thereby allowing your homes existing heating and air conditioning system to address the basement as well.

Structural damage to the foundation is one of the biggest problems a home or building can face, especially when the foundation has dropped or settled significantly.

We determine which steel piering system is best suited for each project.

Air pollutants, excessive moisture and water entering the basement or crawl space, can produce living conditions which may lead to serious health risks.
