Few home related problems trigger as much alarm as a damp or cracked basement. Homeowners see a crack and envision the various dreadful consequences -- the worry and expense of shoring up a falling foundation, or the many aggravations that come with a wet basement: hours of cleaning, carpet replacement and floor refinishing, repainting walls, and waterlogged furniture and keepsakes. Then they tally the dizzying cost of renovation. A wet basement is every homeowner's nightmare.

Many homeowners don't realize that a cracked foundation is a common problem, and in most cases, a crack in a poured-concrete or masonry block foundation does not indicate structural problems. Still, it is a source of leakage and should be repaired. The problem is inherent in poured-concrete and masonry block foundations. A crack is not due to improper building practices or other construction-related activity. Instead, over time, the concrete naturally shrinks or shifts, causing cracks in new and old homes alike. Freezing and thawing cycles are often the culprit of masonry block foundation cracks. Nevertheless, many homeowners are frantic after finding a crack, leaky or not.

Ohio Basement Solutions repairs are permanent and cost-effective, and the work is done from the inside of the home so no excavation is required. It only takes a few hours to fix one foundation crack, and Ohio Basement Solutions average repair cost is in the hundreds, not thousands, of dollars charged by other companies. Most importantly, Ohio Basement Solutions repairs come with a fully transferable Life-of-Structure Guarantee.

"Homeowners, Realtors and property managers have trusted Ohio Basement Solutions in Central Ohio for years, and I look forward to helping Northeast Ohio residents address their foundation repair needs", says Ed Mitchell.
