We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
Heavy rainfall or melting snow can cause basement flooding which result in weakness in the ground beneath your foundation. Foundation sinking, bowing basement walls, and other structural damage can occur as the supporting ground softens. In the process, your’re left with an ideal environment for the growth of mold and mildew.
Humidity in the soil and air releases destructive water vapor, debris, contaminates, and pollen. This damp air carries mold spores and musty odors, providing the perfect environment for insects and other pests, as well as wood rot. These issues affect your home’s structure and the quality of air in your living spaces.
All soil can expand and contract after a heavy rain or drought. When the soil supporting your foundation changes, it can cause your home to shift. During wet weather, water saturates surrounding soil, causing it to swell and push against subterranean walls. This lateral pressure can make basement walls bulge or leak, causing a wet and smelly basement.
In this project, our team installed a new window well to improve the drainage and protection for this basement window. The area around the well was carefully dug out and lined with gravel for better water flow, ensuring the foundation remains dry and stable. This upgrade not only enhances the basement's waterproofing but also increases the overall safety by ensuring proper egress.
The project involved addressing water flow issues by installing a gutter extension for improved drainage and encapsulating the crawl space to enhance foundation stability. A careful setup ensures water is diverted away from the foundation, preventing potential structural problems. The area has been inspected using precise measurement tools to confirm the adjustments have been effective.
Focused on evaluating the condition of the brick wall, the team identified several notable cracks requiring attention. Measurements were taken to assess the severity and plan the necessary repairs, ensuring the structural stability of the foundation.
We recently worked on addressing a slipping foundation at the back of a condo where the glass doors are located. The area was sloping, particularly at the sliding doors. Our team performed slabjacking to level and secure the foundation, providing stability and peace of mind for the homeowner. This crucial repair was completed for approximately $4,700.
Recently completed a waterproofing project in Terrie's basement located in zip code 45040. The job involved installing a sump pump system and applying a vapor barrier along the basement walls to address water intrusion issues that were making the carpet wet. These solutions aim to manage and prevent future moisture buildup. The approximate cost for this service is $15,000.
We tackled mold and moisture issues in Brenda's crawlspace in zip code 45040, implementing a dedicated dehumidification system to control the environment. The job included thorough moisture management aimed at preventing future mold growth, with services totaling around $31,440.
