A new energy-efficient Everlast Window was installed in this Wausau basement replacing an old, broken one. EverLast Windows are vinyl, easy-opening, and airtight to not only keep bugs and critters out, but also making it very energy-efficient. These windows will never rot, rust, or need to be painted, and when unlocked, both panes can be removed to easily clean or pass objects through.

An IceGuard Discharge Line System was added to this sump pump discharge line to help carry any water safely from the home and also to ensure the line doesn't freeze and back up in the winter.
Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed-up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. Our solution to this problem is the IceGuard discharge line system.
The IceGuard fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When the main line is working correctly, water simply flows out as usual. However, when the discharge line is frozen, the IceGuard allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed-up or frozen lines. The IceGuard is compatible with all our sump pump systems.
Water issues in this Wausau, WI basement were eliminated with the installation of the WaterGuard Drainage System which will collect any water seeping through the basement walls and drain it into the sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations.
In Wausau, WI, this homeowner was dealing with a cracked, uneven driveway that had gotten worse over time. Several concrete slabs had sunk and pulled apart, creating trip hazards and deep gaps that allowed water to collect underneath. As the water washed away more soil, the problem grew—and so did the risk.
It got to the point where they were nervous to drive on it, afraid the concrete would keep shifting or collapse further.
Our team used PolyLevel®, a high-strength expanding foam, to lift and level the sunken slabs—quickly, cleanly, and without ripping out the existing concrete.
By filling the voids beneath and stabilizing the soil, we stopped the movement and leveled the surface. Cracks were sealed and the driveway is now safe, smooth, and solid again—with no more pooling water or erosion underneath.

Structurally, stone foundations are often extremely durable (2’ of stone!) but due to their construction, most suffer from seepage and moisture along the floor and in the wall mortar. We help many homeowners with these types of foundations to be able to use their basements again.
