Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services offer comprehensive solutions to enhance your home’s stability. These include underpinning, which adds extra support below your existing foundation, and state-of-the-art techniques like reinforcing with carbon fiber straps to secure your foundation.
Basement Waterproofing
We employ various methods to keep your basement dry, protecting your home from water intrusion. Our strategies include both interior and exterior waterproofing, strategic drainage systems, and the integration of sump pumps. A waterproofed basement expands usable space, increases property value, and promotes healthier indoor air.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Polyjacking offers an efficient and economical solution for leveling uneven concrete surfaces such as driveways, patios, garage floors, and walkways. By drilling small holes into the affected concrete and injecting polyurethane foam, the concrete is precisely elevated to its original level or as close as possible. This method is cost-effective, time-efficient, often completed within hours, and allows for immediate use post-application.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation effectively seals the crawl space under your home using a combination of vapor barriers and insulation materials. This process primarily involves lining the ground and walls with durable polyethylene sheeting, closing off any vents or openings, and optionally installing a dehumidifier to regulate moisture content.
Encapsulating your crawl space helps prevent external moisture from infiltrating the area, significantly reducing the potential for mold and mildew development. This action not only boosts indoor air quality, potentially alleviating allergies and respiratory issues but also safeguards your home’s structural integrity against wood decay and pest invasion.
