Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services encompass a range of solutions designed to address issues with the structural integrity of your home’s foundation. This can include techniques such as underpinning, which involves strengthening the existing foundation by adding support beneath it. Other methods may involve the use of specialized equipment such as carbon fiber straps to ensure the foundation is secure.
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 a cost-effective method used to correct uneven concrete surfaces such as driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks. The process involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete slab and then injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab back to its original position, or as close as possible. The process is quicker than replacing concrete, 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 process 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.
