Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair solutions are designed to address and correct structural issues with your home’s foundation. Services include underpinning to strengthen the foundation by adding support beneath it and using carbon fiber straps to reinforce the structure, ensuring long-term stability.
Basement Waterproofing
We offer comprehensive basement waterproofing techniques to prevent water intrusion. Solutions range from interior and exterior waterproofing to installing drainage systems, and sump pumps. A dry basement enhances your living space, boosts property value, and improves indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Concrete leveling is a cost-efficient way to fix uneven concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, and sidewalks. This involves drilling small holes and injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab to its original position. The process is quick, often completed in a few hours, and the area is usable immediately after.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing the area beneath a home using a vapor barrier and insulation. This usually involves covering the ground and walls with durable polyethylene, sealing off any vents or openings, and sometimes incorporating a dehumidifier to manage moisture levels.
Encapsulating the crawl space prevents moisture from seeping in, which reduces the likelihood of mold and mildew development. This can enhance indoor air quality and may alleviate health concerns like allergies and respiratory issues. Moreover, encapsulation protects the home’s structural integrity by preventing wood rot and deterring pest infestations.
