Foundation crack repair
We repair cracks in your basement. Most cracks can be fixed without tearing down the foundation and rebuilding. When cracks are repaired quickly, the likelihood of further, more significant problems are avoided.
Bowing foundation repair
We stabilize bowing basement walls to keep your foundation structure safe. We do this by installing bracing to your foundation that will withstand shifts in soil and pressure from growing tree roots. We employ stabilizing options to address your bowing problem.
Basement waterproofing
From foundation cracks to poor yard drainage, many factors can lead to wet basements. We diagnose the problem, find the cause, and take the correct measures to keep your basement dry and free from odor and must. Taking preventative measures can save you money in the future.
Crawl space repair
A problematic crawl space can be a major hazard for any home. We repair sagging crawl spaces with support jacks, install dehumidifiers to prevent mold and wood rot, and encapsulate and insulate crawl areas to keep them free of debris, rodents, critters, and other small animals.
Frost Adhesion
Frost adhesion is when frost (via the dirt) sticks to the concrete foundation and expands, severing the foundation horizontally below grade (grass level). We install a non-frost susceptible material and depending on severity of the heaving, helical piers are used to re-support lifted footings and stop further movement.
Sump pump installation, maintenance, and repair
A perfectly functioning sump pump can keep your basement dry and potentially save you thousands in damages. We install, maintain, and repair all brands, and styles of sump pumps for homes and businesses at an affordable cost to you.
