Our Services
Waterproofing
The drain tile system is composed of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to collect water from the surrounding soil and direct it to a sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water out of the home and away from the foundation. In addition to the drain tile, a vapor barrier system is installed on the walls of the foundation. The vapor barrier is a thick plastic sheeting with a waterproof coating that is used to prevent moisture from molding framing and ruining finishes.
Vertical Steel Wall Restraints
This method is highly effective in preventing further inward wall movement due to soil movement, settling and frost. The steel beams are designed to be strong and durable, providing a long-term solution for foundation issues. Give us a call, you can be sure that your foundation is secure and protected for years to come.
Sump Pumps
Our sump pumps are designed to help keep basements dry and free of water. They are typically installed in a sump pit, which is a hole in the basement floor that collects water from around the perimeter of the basement. The sump pump is then connected to a discharge line, which carries the water away from the house and out of the yard. Our sump pumps are designed to be low maintenance and reliable, so you can count on them to keep your basement dry and free of water.
Dig and Push
This service involves digging down to the foundation and pushing it back into its original position, or using a specialized machine to push the foundation back into its original position. This service is typically used to repair damage caused by water or soil erosion, foundation cracks, and other issues.
Crawl Space Encapsulations
Crawlspace encapsulation is a foundation repair service that helps to protect homes from water damage, mold, and other environmental hazards. It involves sealing off the crawlspace of a home from the outside environment. This is done by installing a vapor barrier on the walls and floor of the crawlspace.
Epoxy Crack Repair
Epoxy Injection Crack Repair is a foundation repair service that uses epoxy injections to repair cracks in concrete structures. During the process, a two-part mixture seals the crack to fill voids and create a strong seal. The epoxy coat is then followed by a pressure-injection of a special water based two part mix that helps waterproof your foundation.
Egress Windows
Egress windows provide an emergency exit from a basement in the case of a fire or other emergency. Egress window installation is an essential part of any basement remodeling project and is important for increasing the value of your home.
Piering
We use steel piers to support and stabilize foundations that have settled due to changes in soil composition or other factors. Steel piers are driven deep into the ground to secure a stable foundation. This is done by using hydraulics to drive the piers down until they reach a stable layer of soil or other material. Steel piers are an effective and permanent solution to foundation settlement issues, and can help to protect a home from further damage and costly repairs.
Adjustable Steel Posts
This type of repair is typically done when a structure’s foundation has settled and is no longer level. The repair service uses adjustable posts to lift the structure off of the concrete pad, then use a combination of steel plates and wooden shims to level the structure and help protect it from future settling. The posts are adjustable, allowing them to raise the structure to the desired height. This ensures that the foundation is properly supported and that the structure is safe and stable
Earth Anchors
The anchoring system is designed to resist the pressure of the soil against the foundation wall, thus preventing further inward movement. Earth anchors are generally installed in areas with expansive soil, where the soil can expand and contract due to changes in moisture content. Installing earth anchors is a cost-effective solution to stabilize foundation walls and prevent further inward movement.
Wall Builds/Tuckpointing
Foundation wall rebuilds are the process of reinforcing and reconstructing the walls of a foundation to restore its structural integrity. This is often necessary when a foundation has been affected by water damage, shifting soils, or poor construction. The process involves excavating around the foundation, removing and replacing the damaged wall sections, and installing new reinforced materials.
Landscaping
These services include retaining walls, french drains, sod, turf, grading, swales, and downspout extensions. Retaining walls can help stabilize an area around a foundation, preventing soil erosion and providing a barrier from rainwater and other sources of water. French drains can be installed around a foundation to channel away water and prevent it from pooling around the foundation, which can cause damage.Finally, downspout extensions can help direct rainwater away from the foundation, preventing water damage.
