Foundation Repair
- Foundation Leveling: Our foundation leveling services involve assessing and correcting any unevenness or instability in a building’s foundation. Techniques such as hydraulic jacks or underpinning with piers are employed to ensure the structure is level and secure. This process prevents further damage and maintains the integrity of the building.
- Foundation Crack Repair: We identify, assess, and fix cracks in your property’s foundation. This includes steps like injecting epoxy or polyurethane foam to seal the crack, ensuring the structural integrity of the foundation is restored, and preventing further damage.
- Epoxy Injection Crack Repair: High-strength epoxy resin seals cracks and restores the structural integrity of concrete. This method is crucial for repairing damaged foundations, walls, and other concrete elements.
- Push Pier Installation: Steel push piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock. These piers support and stabilize the foundation, preventing further settlement or movement.
- Helical Pier Installation: Helical piers are screwed into the ground to provide foundation support for various structures. The installation is quick and causes minimal disturbance to the surrounding area, making it ideal for stabilizing foundations in different soil conditions.
- Foundation Inspections: We conduct thorough examinations of your building’s foundation to assess its structural integrity, identify signs of damage or wear, and recommend necessary repairs or maintenance.
Waterproofing Solutions
- Interior and Exterior Waterproofing: Our interior and exterior waterproofing solutions protect your property from water damage. This includes sealing basements, crawl spaces, and foundations to prevent leaks and moisture intrusion, ensuring your property remains dry and secure.
- Crawl Space Waterproofing: Our crawl space waterproofing protects the area beneath your home from moisture and water intrusion. This typically includes the installation of vapor barriers, insulation, drainage systems, and sump pumps to prevent mold, mildew, and structural damage. Proper waterproofing ensures a healthier living environment and can improve the overall durability and value of your property.
- Crawl Space Dehumidifiers: Crawl space dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels, preventing mold growth, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues. By maintaining a dry environment, they help protect the structural integrity of your home and improve indoor air quality. They are ideal for homes in humid climates or areas prone to dampness.
- Sump Pumps: Sump pumps are crucial for preventing flooding and water damage by pumping water away from your property, ensuring a dry and safe environment. They can be powered by electricity or a backup battery system, providing peace of mind during heavy rainfall or power outages. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring their reliability and efficiency.
- Drain Tile: Drain tile systems are trench drains filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. These systems are commonly used to prevent flooding, manage water runoff, and reduce moisture in basements and crawl spaces. They help protect foundations, prevent soil erosion, and maintain a dry, stable environment.
Crawl Space Repair
- Crawl Space Encapsulation: This process seals the crawl space with a robust vapor barrier, effectively blocking moisture, mold, and pests from infiltrating your home. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the air quality, boosting energy efficiency, and reinforcing the overall resilience of the house.
- Crawl Space Jacks: Employing adjustable steel jacks, this solution enhances your home’s stability and support. It’s an effective way to address and correct issues with sagging floors and structural damage, ensuring weight is evenly distributed and bolstering the foundation of the house.
- Sagging Floor Repair: Dealing with floors that are uneven or have begun to sink often involves bolstering the support system beneath, such as the joists or beams. Introducing additional support elements can realign the floor, bringing it back to a level and stable state.
Additional Services
- Chimney Repair: Our chimney repair service includes a thorough inspection to identify any damage, followed by the repair of cracks and structural issues. We ensure your chimney is safe and functional for use.
- Brick restoration: Is your brickwork in need of a facelift? We clean, repair, and rejuvenate old or damaged brickwork to preserve its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. This includes tasks such as repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, and applying protective treatments to enhance durability and appearance.
