Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services offer a variety of solutions to address and fix structural integrity issues in your home’s foundation. These can include techniques such as underpinning, which strengthens the existing foundation by adding support beneath it. Other methods may use specialized equipment like carbon fiber straps to ensure the foundation remains secure.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing services use a range of techniques and materials to prevent water from entering your home’s basement. Common solutions include interior and exterior waterproofing, drainage systems, and sump pumps. Keeping your basement dry offers many 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 a cost-effective method to correct uneven concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks. The process involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete slab, then injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab back to its original position or as close as possible. This method is quicker than replacing concrete and is often completed in a few hours, allowing immediate use of the area.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off the crawl space beneath a home with a vapor barrier and insulation. This typically includes covering the ground and walls with heavy-duty polyethylene, sealing any vents or openings, and sometimes adding a dehumidifier to control moisture levels.
Encapsulation helps to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. This can lead to improved indoor air quality and may help reduce health issues such as allergies and respiratory problems. Additionally, it helps protect the structural integrity of the home by preventing wood rot and pest infestations.
