Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services offer a variety of solutions aimed at fixing and enhancing your home’s structural integrity. This includes underpinning to strengthen the foundation by adding support below and utilizing specialized equipment like carbon fiber straps to secure your foundation.
Basement Waterproofing
We employ several techniques and materials to stop water from entering your basement, including interior and exterior waterproofing, installing drainage systems, and sump pumps. Keeping your basement dry has many benefits, such as more living or storage space, increased property value, and better indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
To fix uneven concrete surfaces, such as driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks, we use a cost-effective method called polyjacking. Small holes are drilled into the sunken slab, then polyurethane foam is injected to lift it back to its original position or as close as possible. This quick process allows for immediate use of the area once completed.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
This process involves sealing the crawl space with a vapor barrier and insulation, typically covering the ground and walls with polyethylene, sealing any openings, and possibly adding a dehumidifier to control moisture.
Encapsulation prevents moisture, mold, and mildew, enhancing indoor air quality and protecting the home’s structural integrity from wood rot and pests.
