    We had a great experience with Midstate. Had our stone basement repointed, an erosion issue @ the corner if our foundation fixed, & a new sidewalk put in. They were very knowledgeable & professional throughout our entire project. Will definitely be calling them for future projects.

    I cant reccommend Ben and Midstate enough! They did a phenomemal job. My house was built in 1927 and has a basement, where air handlers drain into a sump pump as does ground water when the water tables are too high, sending the water to the street. Due to the heavy rains and hurricanes Ive had some major challenges over the last few years. Fortunately Ben and Midstate put their expertise to work and was able to fix all of the issues in my basement. Bens committement to ensuring the work was done properly and professionally was very much appreciated. More than once, hes come by after the work has been completed to ensure its still working properly. Not to mention, his office is a couple of hours from my home. If youre considering hiring them, youll be in very good hands.

    Eric and his team were a pleasure to work with. They provided prompt, professional and quality service. I would highly recommend them for all of your basement needs. Work we had done was floor and wall encapsulation, foundation parging and install a sump pump and dehumidifier. Eric and his team was able to complete this in the agreed upon time period and we are very happy with the work. See before and after photos attached.

    Im writing my review of Midstate nearly THREE years after they installed a sump in our basement. For big projects that have a big impact, I like to wait at least 6 months, even longer. Theres no way to effectively review a big project a few weeks after completion. So this is a review that shows the longevity of their service.For us, this was a big project and we werent sure how impactful it would be at keeping our unfinished basement from flooding. While I believe that a sump in general has been helpful, Im writing this review to say that Midstate did an absolutely outstanding job with the install. Everything (knock on wood) has worked flawlessly since the day they did the install. Our sump is a 1/2 horse, as it has a pretty long run to where it drains, and they completely nailed the grade of the piping out to the drain. You could look at our yard today, and you wouldnt even know theres a pipe buried in the lawn. Did a nice job patching the concrete around where the install went in our basement, too. They were easy to work with and their contract is fairly exhaustive.I would not hesitate to hire midstate again.

    We had a very good experience with Midstate all things considered. Our surface drain project turned out to be more complicated than anyone expected, but they handled it well and were very responsive to our concerns. Everyone at the company is super friendly. Furthermore, they are easy to contact and they show up exactly when they say they will. They also keep you informed of their progress, taking photos along the way. The quality of the work looks great and we hope that our basement is now protected for many years to come.

    We would recommend Midstate Basement Authorities to anyone that needs work on their foundation. They repaired our aging 1950s foundation: sprayed the outside foundation areas with gunite, filled holes in foundation with gunite and added a window well and soil to prevent drainage. The crew was professional, very kind, and answered our questions quickly (Kyle, Jalil, Hunter, Tyler). Jason (Foreman) checked in on the site several times, and he responded immediately and professionally to any concerns we had. The area was cleaned well and the foreman walked the entire property with us at the end and answered any final questions we had. We felt taken care of and the work was exactly what we hoped for. Thank you to Bill for helping us to begin with and all of the office staff that kept in decent communications with us as we scheduled. We hope they keep this current group of workers.

    Great Experience with Midstate Basement Authorities and would highly recommend. The company is very professional but with the personal touch that you would expect from a small business. Everything and everyone from Bill to Georgia to Bryce, were wonderful.Give them a call for all of your basement and drainage needs, you will not be disappointed!!

  • Review 8 (2021-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    Midstate Basement has been awesome and we are so happy we decided to have them do work for us. Courtney was wonderful to coordinate with over the phone. They were able to bump us up 3 months early for our sump pump installation. The guys who came to work at the house for two days ( Daniel, Devin, and Jason) were so nice, considerate, and accommodating to all my many questions and concerns. I would recommend them without a doubt.

  • Review 9 (2023-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Midstate installed a french drain and sump pump system in our wet Ithaca basement. They were great, from the estimate and bid, through scheduling and financing, to doing the work. They arrived on time, were polite and efficient, finished when they said they would, returned calls and emails throughout. The office and the workers on the job couldnt have been nicer. Their bid was competitive. It is rare to find a contractor who does this.

  • Review 10 (2022-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Our experience was excellent from start to finish. They first were the only company we reached out to who responded via email and phone within a couple hours. They continued to be responsive throughout the whole process. We had a consultation with Bill who was extremely knowledgeable and offered us multiple solutions to the issues we were facing with our basement. He listened to our goal and came up with a plan that fit our needs exactly, providing a quote within a couple minutes.The work done was incredible; Steve and Tyler did a fantastic job! I believe our basement was likely their worst nightmare as we had constant running water they had to contend with. They ran into many unforeseen issues with our basement due to its age and water, but they found a solution to each one of them.They never strayed from the agreed budget or time commitment, even though Im sure the water and extra issues could have increased that cost easily. Their whole team was knowledgeable, polite, and great at what they do! No more flowing water in the basement and now we have the peace of mind that it wont flood with the setup they put in place. Highly recommend them!

  • Review 11 (2023-06-20 - Rating: 5)

    Midstate Basement did excellent work on our house. We had a major problem with water accumulation at the base of the foundation. They excavated to the floor of the basement, installed footer drains and an external sump pump. Their work is high quality and they are very responsive to questions and adjustments to the planned project. They are the pros in our area.

  • Review 12 (2021-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    We had water coming into our basement from three different locations. We got three different estimates, and Midstate was the fairest and their plan sounded as the most sensible. We had a trench dug along two walls and a sump pump installed. The job was completed exactly as stated, professionally and on schedule (it took three days total). We then requested an additional job to repair a window well that was leaking. There, too, the estimate was fair, and the final price turned out to be even lower than we expected because, when they came to do the job, they realized the repair needed was simpler than they initially thought, as the window well would not need to be replaced after all.Overall, we had a fantastic experience with everyone we dealt with: Courtney was always prompt and helpful to schedule the appointments; Shawn gave us fair estimates and clear explanations of what the projects would entail and how long they would take;Travis and Ryan, who did the first job, and Lloyd, who did the second one, were all great—professional, hard-working, courteous, clean.We couldnt have hoped for a better experience and highly recommend Midstate Basement Authorities.

  • Review 13 (2023-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    It was a pleasure working with Midstate Basements for our foundation repair. Bill was communicative and helped us to prioritize the work being done (installation of posts/beams, crack injection, excavation of sump pump outlet), and Jason and his team (Hunter and Jason) who recently completed the work were friendly, professional, knowledgable and efficient. We would not hesitate to use Midstate Basements again for future basement-related needs, and would recommend them.

  • Review 14 (2019-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    The team at Midstate Basements was EXCEPTIONAL, from the folks in the office, the guys who did the estimate, and the crew that completed the work!! They went out of their way to make the scheduling work, and when the team arrived at my home I was very impressed with their professionalism and patience. They walked me through the project, explained all the steps, and answered all my questions. Then they made sure I was totally comfortable with the plan for the job. Very thorough. I was not home while the work was performed. But when I arrived home I was amazed at how clean and finished they left the job site. The sump basin in the basement was installed perfectly. Our project required 80 feet of drainage line dug through our garden and across my front lawn. I was absolutely amazed at how great this looked when I got home to inspect the work. They removed and replaced everything in the garden like you wouldn’t even know they dug it up. And the line across the front yard was fully prepped and just ready for some grass seed. The sump pump is working great and the basement is dry as a bone. No problems whatsoever, and I would highly recommend the team from Midstate Basement to help anyone with a wet or flooded basement. Great and professional crew and VERY customer focused!!! Thank you, Midstate Basement!!!

  • Review 15 (2021-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Basement had only jacks holding up the house, and they were deteriorating and failing. I had gotten a couple other quotes but Mid State had the best reviews, were far more focused on my concern, more professional, better rating with the Better Business Bureau and the pricing was about the same across the board. Everyone I had contact with there and at my home was GREAT! Friendly, patient, courteous. Had some additional concerns after and they came back out and addressed, didn’t make it difficult, just took care of things. Thanks so much MidState!

  • Review 16 (2022-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    We were very happy with the quality of work. The crew we had was great to work with! Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable from the estimate through the finished project. We would definitely recommend Midstate Basement in the future.

  • Review 17 (2021-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    I am very satisfied with the work and the work people who repointed and parged part of my basement concrete block wall. At my request, they stapled up big sheets of plastic to keep dust from the work out of the other, finished part of my basement. They were knowledgeable and efficient and were ready to alter the work order to make the outcome better.I appreciated that the worker phoned each day to say when they would arrive here. The office staff is very efficient and emailed me all the receipts, etc. The person who did the original estimate gave me a packet of the materials to keep. So, I was well-informed about what would be done.All in all, a professional, thoughtful group. I would definitely hire them again.

    Ive worked with Midstate 3X in the last 1.5 years and theyre level of customer service, quality of workmanship, punctuality + professionalism is unmatched. You get what you pay for! I would recommend them for anything basement related without hesitation!

  • Review 19 (2017-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    The folks at Midstate Basement Authorities are wonderful. As a small businesswoman Im always surprised that some businesses just dont put the customer first. Not so with Midstate Basement Authorities. They were utterly professional, unfailingly courteous, very hard working and, perhaps the best part, theyre effective and fast! Within three days my basement was done... and so was the flooding! Hands down these folks are the best around. Highly recommended.

  • Review 20 (2023-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    They were thorough, professional and friendly. The quality of their work was unbelievable. If I ever have an issue in another part of my basement, I will call them again.

  • Review 21 (2021-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    This company has literally changed our quality of life. Theyve come twice for two different parts of our basement. We began with a wet basement and a smelly house, and now thanks to encapsulation and multiple sump pumps, we have a dry basement and good air quality. Across the spectrum including initial contact, administrative staff, engineers, and the team on-the-ground, every single employee has been personable, kind,, and good-natured. But we especially give kudos to the team who does the truly filthy, daunting physical labor; to a person, they are amazingly energetic and hard-working. The company seems well-managed and responsive throughout the process -- from giving us a quote, scheduling, to project completion. They make the whole messy process go seamlessly. We enjoy working with them and are grateful for the resources they provide.

  • Review 22 (2021-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    When we bought our home the inspector missed some key issues, like part of the basement having caved in. Midstate fixed that and put in a new drainage system. I never saw any group of people work as hard nor as diligently as them. They worked nonstop and did an amazing job. They also encapsulated a large crawl space and what a difference it makes. I would highly recommend them.

  • Review 23 (2019-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Midstate Basement is an excellent company and they do stellar work! Recently Ben and his crew did major structural work to my 1907 lake cabin duplex which included pouring new concrete pads for structural support, core filling existing cinder blocks and redesigning and framing new support columns and joists. They also encapsulated the crawl space with heavy duty plastic and added spray foam around each post and the entire crawl space perimeter to the rim board. They are competitively priced and do exactly what they say theyre going to do. I am extremely satisfied with their work and highly recommend this company. Eric and Don, you have built an incredible company - Five stars! Thank you!

    Midstate was amazing from the first time I called. Was very impressed with how quick they came to do an estimate. Steve did a great job repairing a section of my basement wall and explaining everything.

  • Review 26 (2015-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    I needed a foundation repair due to frost heaving. I hired an independent structural engineer, who worked with Midstate Basement (mostly Eric, who was in charge of the operation) after I hired them as well.Eric implemented the plan of the engineer and contributed some own solutions for the repair of a retaining wall. When issues arose during the excavation Eric proactively contacted the engineer, and came up with a solution. I did appreciate that he double-checked his work with the engineer, which for me as a home-owner was reassuring. Eric completed the work for what I believe to be a competitive price. Of course only time will tell whether the repair will hold up (its just been a week since completion), but it appears to be professionally done and I am hoping that this will be a long-lasting fix.

  • Review 27 (2017-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    We had what we would consider to be a decent size job, and Eric and crew were exceptional. They put in very long days, and had a terrible work environment because of the rain...and by rain I mean NEVER ENDING RAIN. These guys continued to work through it and the many other issues that came up during the job. Despite the travel difference, they arrived promptly every morning and got right to work. Through it all, they remained professional and worked long days to get the job done. We do have to have them come back to complete work- by no fault of theirs (weather factor), as well as do a couple things we added. I wouldnt think twice of referring anyone to them!

  • Review 33 (2018-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    I realized that my sill beam had rotted away under part of my house, so I gave them a call to come take a look. They were originally booked out, but ended up having an opening two and a half weeks sooner, and squeezed me in. On top of that, they were able to come out a couple of hours earlier than expected (of course asking if that was okay first, which is certainly was). Don came out and took a look, and it turned out that they wouldnt be able to address my specific situation, but he was more than happy to give me some information about what was going on )which happened to line up with what I expected) and who to contact to get it fixed. He was also willing to spend a couple of minutes talking about what getting the job would look like, confirming my suspicion of more than likely needing to accommodate access to the issue for the inside. He thought he was giving me bad news, but this actually just confirmed what I had already been expecting, and helps my wife and I plan better for it when we do end up getting it repaired. Over all, I would definitely work with them in the future if I have a problem that they specialize in. They were incredibly accommodating, friendly, professional, and super informative. I will definitely be recommending them, and calling them myself in the future for basement waterproofing (once my original issue is fixed)! If not for the age of my house, we would be working with them for the original repair.

    HAD FLOODING IN MY BASEMENT AS MY SUMP PUMP STOPPED WORKING. CALLED ADAM AND HE CAME TO MY HOUSE WITHIN HOURS AND HOOKED UP A TEMPORARY SUMP PUMP TO STOP THE FLOODING UNTIL I DECIDED ON UNIT I WANTED. ONCE I DECIDED, THEY INSTALLED NEW UNIT WITHIN DAYS. WERE NEAT, CLEAN AND ORGANIZED IN MAKING SURE WATER WAS BEING SENT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM MY FOUNDATION. NOTHING BUT HIGH PRAISE FOR ADAM AND HIS CREW AND WOULD RECOMMEND MIDSTATE BASEMENT FOR ANY WATER ISSUES YOU MIGHT HAVE.

    Good service, they kept us well informed before, during, and after w/proper documentations. The one item I had issue with was the signed proposal showed galvanized square post (i.e. Light Foot)that look more solid, but the installation uses round beams that appear less expensive materials. We clarified that later on but I wished I knew that up front and had it in contract.

    Eric and crew were great to work with on a big job they just finished for us replacing the entire foundation of an old house in Ithaca. The original foundation was in danger of collapse. Working with Taitem Engineering the crew at Midstate assessed the scope of the job and designed a fixed bid job to shore up the house, replace several joists and remove the old foundation walls. Along the way the entire HVAC system had to be removed and put back and plumbing and electrical had to be changed across the basement. The house looked like it was being raised up mid job with the old foundation removed and the house safely shored up.After removing part of the old foundation walls the crew found further structural issues with the house framing. They consulted with the engineer and came up with a plan to fix the problem. It was a change in scope and design, but Eric didnt change the price of the job. They changed the footer and wall design and worked with me to get the approval to change the job. The additional shoring that was needed on the job because of the change didnt cost us anything extra and now the house is level, secure and stronger than it was before by a longshot. Plumbing, HVAC and electrical are all back in place and passed inspection. Erik even personally made sure the hot water was on and working throughout the house.The crew worked hard on the job on time and professionally each step of the way. Eric also managed multiple subcontractors on the job and dealt with the permitting process and the City of Ithaca directly.Last day on the job they were cleaning up small specks of material that I would have missed or not really cared about. They also communicated well with the church next door to use their parking lot for access. After the job they returned the church parking lot to better than it was before by grading out some gravel others had snowplowed into a corner before Midstates job even started.Ive already recommended Midstate to friends and wouldnt hesitate to work with them again.
