Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our comprehensive foundation repair services are meticulously designed to address and resolve challenges to your home’s foundation. Our solutions include underpinning to reinforce the existing foundation with additional support from below, and the use of advanced tools such as carbon fiber straps for enhanced foundation security.
Basement Waterproofing
Using a wide range of basement waterproofing methods and materials, our basement waterproofing services are aimed at preventing water ingress into your basement. We specialize in both interior and exterior waterproofing techniques, including the installation of efficient drainage systems and sump pumps. A waterproofed basement offers numerous benefits, including increased usable living space, enhanced property value, and improved indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
When confronted with uneven concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, garage floors, or sidewalks, concrete leveling is an efficient method to rectify them. The procedure includes drilling small holes in the settled concrete slab and injecting polyurethane foam to elevate the slab back to or near its initial position. The process is faster than concrete replacement, often completed in hours, which means immediate use of the area.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing off the crawl space with a vapor barrier and insulation. This often includes laying down heavy-duty polyethylene on the ground and walls, sealing vents or openings, and sometimes installing a dehumidifier to manage moisture.
Encapsulation helps prevent moisture and the resulting mold and mildew, improving indoor air quality and possibly reducing allergy and respiratory issues. It also safeguards the structural integrity of your home by preventing wood rot and infestations.
