A waterproof seal. Prevent future leaks with our basement sealing system.

Floor cracks: Water can also rise directly through the porous concrete of your floor slab crack. When you have water coming through the floor, the first step is installing a perimeter drain system which will help direct any water that comes through the crack into the drain and your sump pump. Finally, we will backfill the crack with stone and cover it with fresh concrete to prevent future leaks.
-
Wall cracks: The soil around your foundation is filled with water, and even the smallest crack will allow this groundwater to seep into your basement. Much like with floor cracks, the first step to repairing a leaky wall crack is installing one of our drainage systems. We then use an innovative polyurethane sealant. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofing seal.
Piers offer an affordable solution for foundations, decks, porches, patios, hot tubs as well as pre-fab buildings.
Hydraulic jacks attach to the embedded steel piers and are used to raise the foundation back to its original elevation. Once the structure is restored to the desired elevation the piers stabilize and concentrically carry the structure load of the new elevation.
The benefits of using piers to repair a foundation are as follows:
-
Low cost. Up to ten times less than replacing the building foundation.
-
No disruption or loss of use of the dwelling. The repair is performed with the building being used as normal.
-
The equipment is portable and can be easily used in tight spaces.
-
Remedies both the cause of the settlement (unstable soil) and the consequences (dwelling out of level) in one step.
-
No yard destruction
-
No heavy equipment
Pressure from outside your foundation walls —from expansive clay soils and from soil saturated with water—can impose loads that your walls were not designed to withstand.
Our foundation wall anchors are designed to both stabilize foundation walls and provide additional adjustment capability to return them to their original position. Our repair techniques will stabilize the wall right away. Completely straightening a bowed wall can be done gradually or immediately, depending on the strategy you select.
Bowing, tilting foundation walls should not be left that way and unfortunately, they do not fix themselves! The issues only gets worse without attention. Our wall straightening solutions can get your walls back to a straight and / or stable position in no time.
No matter if you have a poured concrete foundation, block walls, or a clay tile foundation, water is the number one enemy to any type of foundation. Water can infiltrate through basement walls, poor gutters, downspouts, bad drainage, and subsurface, which may lead to a wet basement and or wet crawlspace.
