Our Services
Foundation Repair
We offer comprehensive foundation repair solutions to address structural integrity issues in your home’s foundation. Techniques like underpinning strengthen the existing foundation, while specialized equipment such as carbon fiber straps ensure its security.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing services involve a range of techniques and materials used to prevent water from penetrating your home’s basement. Common solutions include interior and exterior waterproofing, drainage systems, and sump pumps. A dry basement offers numerous long-term benefits, including increased usable living or storage space, enhanced property value, and improved indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Concrete leveling is an economical solution for fixing uneven surfaces like driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks. This technique involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete slab and injecting polyurethane foam to raise it back to its original or near-original position. It’s a faster alternative to concrete replacement, typically taking just a few hours, with the area ready for use right away.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the area beneath a home with a vapor barrier and insulation. This process typically includes covering the ground and walls with heavy-duty polyethylene, sealing vents and openings, and sometimes adding a dehumidifier to control moisture levels. Encapsulation prevents moisture from entering the crawl space, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can improve indoor air quality and may alleviate health issues such as allergies and respiratory problems. Additionally, it protects the structural integrity of the home by preventing wood rot and pest infestations.
