At first glance, this might look like your everyday basement. But if you take a closer look, you can see cracks in between the cement blocks and a white, chalky substance known as efflorescence, AKA a clear indication there has been water in your basement. After inspection, we realized hydrostatic pressure was the culprit. To waterproof, we installed a vapor barrier, an interior drainage system, and a sump pump to keep water out!
This homeowner and his wife built their home about four years ago, and plan on having it as their "forever home". Over the last year, the driveway slabs have started to settle and have recently cracked. Their concern is that the problem will get worse and they'll have to completely replace the concrete. We took a look at it and concluded that soil erosion and poorly compacted soil caused this issue. To fix the problem we used PolyLevel to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. We also used NexusPro to seal joints and cracks in the slabs.
This customer's entire driveway had become cracked and uneven, with a noticeable drop in front of the garage due to years of wear and tear. Big cracks had formed all over. To fix this, we used PolyLevel to level out and lift the driveway. We used NexusPro to fill in the cracks and joints of the driveway and then applied SealantPro to protect the surface.
This homeowner didn't want to come down to water in her basement because she had a bad experience with it in her previous home; she was also concerned about her foundation wall that was leaning in. She used our services for waterproofing in her previous home, so she decided to give us a call to waterproof her home once again.
We sent Service Technician Matt Stice to see what was happening with her foundation wall leaning in, help to fix the wall, and waterproof her basement. Matt found that hydrostatic pressure on the outside of the foundation wall was causing the wall to lean in, so he determine that with Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the wall could be stabilized and moved back over time. After this, Matt and his team installed a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System with a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal and create a drain for water to get out of the basement. Finally, Matt installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure that water would leave the homeowner's house despite the conditions outside and even during power outages.
The homeowner was very happy with the projects that were completed in both her previous home, and her current home. Check out her newly waterproofed and stabilized basement and foundation wall!
