Qualified Fairfield County, OH Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Experts

A home in Amanda, OH, was built in 2012 and an addition was built in 2014. Even though it was so new, the owners were still experiencing some issues with the crawl space, which was not encapsulated or insulated. The crawl space had gravel floors, it was dirty, and not well-insulted. They called us to take care of these problems and prevent future ones like dampness from happening. One of our certified inspectors traversed the crawl space to determine the best repair methods. He explained the CrawlSeal and ExTremeBloc systems, which would check the desired repairs off the homeowners' list. CrawlSeal is a 20-millimeter-thick plastic liner which is designed to encapsulate crawl spaces and keep out moisture, dirt, pests, and even radon gas! Its white color brightens the space and gives it a clean look. ExTremeBloc is a series of silver panels which have a high level of heat retention, so they insulate the space well. They also are waterproof! The production crew installed these two products, as well as spray foam and drainage matting for added insulating and cushioning. Drainage matting also is good for leveling rough gravel floors. The homeowners are happy with the results, and they can now fully enjoy the home they built along with the addition and a safe, dry, and healthy crawl space.

Not long after moving into their house, homeowners in Millersport, OH, noticed water leaking inside the back corner of the house during heavy rains. This resulted in some puddles on the floor and saturated carpet. The homeowners plan to live in the house for many years, so having a safe living environment free of water is important to them.

This is twice as high as the level at which the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating radon, which is 4 pCi/L. We then installed a radon mitigation system by creating a suction point in the basement’s concrete slab floor to draw radon from the home. PVC pipe was connected to this hole, directed to the home’s exterior, and connected to a ventilation fan. Additional pipe was directed from the fan past the home’s roof to safely expel radon from the home. A domed and sealed lid also was placed on the sump pump to prevent radon from entering the home.

A suction point to draw radon from the home was created by drilling a hole into the basement’s concrete floor. Ventilation pipes were then attached to the hole and directed to the home’s exterior. The pipes then connected to a fan unit, and additional ventilation pipes were directed up the side of the house to extend past the home’s roof for safe radon expulsion. Domed and sealed lids were also placed on the sump pump systems to prevent radon intrusion through those locations. The homeowners are pleased these reliable repairs were completed to help them create a safer and healthier forever home.

Since moving into their house three years ago, homeowners in Carroll, OH, have been concerned with the health and safety of their home. They wondered about the presence of radon and its effect on their living environment. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by uranium decay in soil and rocks, is very dangerous. Exposure to this gas has been linked to more than 20,000 annual deaths, and it is a leading cause of lung cancer. Radon cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, making it difficult to detect without the proper testing. All of these factors greatly concerned the homeowners, especially considering their grandchildren’s frequent visits. The owners wanted to ensure the home’s health and safety, so they began to research how to address the issue. They came across Ohio Basement Authority’s website, and they were eager to contact us for further assistance. They met with one of our inspectors who helped them test their home for radon, and he then discussed the test results with them. The owners were surprised to learn their home’s radon level was 11 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). This is almost three times higher than the level at which the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating radon, which is 4 pCi/L. One of our crews then installed a radon mitigation system in their home to lower the radon level as much as possible. This was done by drilling a hole into the basement floor to create a suction point for drawing radon out of the house. Ventilation pipes were then attached to this hole and directed through the attic. A fan was mounted to the pipe within the attic to ventilate the radon gas up through more pipe that extended through the roof. The homeowners now have peace of mind knowing they have taken a major step in creating a safe and healthy home with this repair project.

Before selling his house, a homeowner in Lancaster, OH, knew various repairs needed to be completed. This included addressing the level of radon in the home. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is present throughout the country. It is produced by the decay of uranium in rocks and soil, and it is a major health hazard. Exposure to radon gas has been linked to more than 20,000 deaths every year, and it is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it virtually impossible to detect without the proper testing. After learning more about Ohio Basement Authority through our website, the homeowner contacted us to test his home for radon. The results indicated the home’s radon level was 4.7 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). This is just slightly higher than the level at which radon mitigation systems are recommended for homes, which is 4 pCi/L. The homeowner wanted to make every effort to create a safer and healthier home for the next owners, and he was eager for us to install a radon mitigation system. This involved creating suction points to pull radon from the home. Two holes were drilled into the basement’s concrete slab floor, and another suction point was created in the crawl space. PVC pipes were connected to these holes and directed to the home’s exterior. These pipes also were connected to a fan to help ventilate the radon gas out of the home. We also placed domed and sealed lids on the sump pump systems and encapsulated the crawl space in CrawlSeal liner to prevent radon from entering the home through these locations. The homeowner was pleased these reliable repairs were installed to enhance the home’s safety and resale value.

They have lived in their house since it was built four years ago, but it wasn’t until recently that homeowners in Pleasantville, OH, began to question the health of their home. One of their neighbors recently passed away because of complications from lung cancer. The homeowners began to wonder if radon was a contributing factor. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium in rocks and soil. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas, and it is difficult to detect without the proper testing. Radon also is a significant health hazard. It is a leading cause of lung cancer, and exposure to this gas has been linked to more than 20,000 annual deaths. The owners began to test their home for radon, and they were shocked and alarmed to find out the home’s levels ranged from 168 to 600 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). This is significantly higher than the level at which the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating radon, which is 4 pCi/L. The owners began to research how to best address this issue, but they didn’t have to look too far. One of their relatives works for Ohio Basement Authority, and they knew they could count on us to help with creating a safer home. The owners met with one of our inspectors who is well-versed in radon and the mitigation process, and he reviewed our repair methods with the owners. One of our crews then installed a radon mitigation system in the home. This involved drilling a hole into the basement floor to create a suction point to draw radon out of the home. The radon gas is vented through PVC pipes connected to this hole, and a fan is mounted to the home’s exterior for proper ventilation. A domed and sealed lid also was placed on the sump pump system to prevent radon intrusion through the pit. The homeowners were pleased this reliable repair solution was installed so their house will be a safer and healthier living environment for many years to come.

Homeowners in Rushville, OH, became concerned when they performed an at-home radon test and had higher levels than desired — 7.1 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). They have heard about the dangers of radon, so they called Ohio Basement Authority for help. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas which is created when uranium reaches its half-life and decays. If present in the soil under a home, it will get sucked in through the basement and crawl space and plague the air inside. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer next to smoking cigarettes. One of our certified inspectors visited the home to do another test, and the the levels were, in fact, over the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L. He explained how a radon mitigation system would work, and the homeowners agreed to have it installed. The system involves creating a suction point in the basement with a pipe that directs the gas outside and releases it through an exhaust fan. In this case, they used the sump pump with an airtight dome lid. The homeowners are happy that the system will continue to dramatically decrease the radon levels in their home for years to come.

After living in their house for almost 10 years, homeowners in Pickerington, OH, were growing concerned with the level of radon in their home. While radon is a naturally occurring gas that is common in every state, including Ohio, it is deadly. The colorless, odorless gas is produced by uranium decay in rocks and soil. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and it results in more than 20,000 deaths each year. The owners had two radon tests done. The first reading was 35.2 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), and the second one two months later was 13.5 pCi/L. A radon mitigation system is needed at 4 pCi/L, so having readings well above this level worried the homeowners. They wanted to take the proper steps to get these levels as low as possible so they would have a healthy home. They contacted Ohio Basement Authority, and we installed a radon mitigation system in their home. This involved creating a suction point by drilling a hole in the garage slab floor. PVC pipe was connected to this hole and directed through the attic above the garage. A fan was mounted to the pipe within the attic to ventilate the radon gas up through more pipe that extended through the roof. The owners now have peace of mind knowing they have taken a major step in creating a healthier living environment.

While searching for the perfect house, an aspiring homeowner fell in love with a charming cabin in Bremen, OH. Before purchasing the house, she wanted to make sure it would be a safe and healthy living environment. She wanted to address potential dangers like radon. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that is the product of uranium decay in rocks and soil. It is naturally occurring and can be found across the country. It does, however, pose significant health risks. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and it has been linked to more than 20,000 deaths every year. It also is extremely hazardous to smokers and former smokers. The owner contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our radon remediation services through a trusted contractor. We tested the house for radon, and the results came back at levels of 8.3 pCi/L (picocuries per liter).  This is almost double the level at which radon mitigation systems are strongly recommended for homes, which is 4 pCi/L. We then installed a radon mitigation system in the home to safely pull the radon from the home and ventilate it outside. The new homeowner was pleased to have this reliable system installed in the house so it will be a safer and healthier place to live.
