This customer was tired of looking at those cracks in her driveway. After our team came in and used NexusPro to seal those exposed areas, this customer got that new, clean, fresh-looking driveway she was looking for!
This customer noticed some cosmetic damage in her kitchen. The drywall tape was pulling away from the center wall in the kitchen and you could see the damage on the ceiling.
When we inspected the home, we found the problem was there was inadequate support holding up the home in the crawl space. We installed double the supports in the crawl space to fix the issue. We used our SmartJack Support system, that you can see in the photos above.
An un-level sidewalk is a common problem that Midwest Foundation Repair can quickly fix. Sidewalks endure significant wear and tear, and when the soil supporting a cement slab weakens, cracks and sinking can occur. There are several possible causes for this issue, such as erosion from rainwater, decaying tree roots, poor yard drainage, or improperly compacted dirt fill underneath the slab. Uneven sidewalk slabs pose a tripping hazard for your family, guests, and neighbors. At Midwest Foundation Repair, we have the solution. Our PolyLevel system lifts, levels, and stabilizes sidewalks. Additionally, for smaller cracks, we use NexusPro to fill and seal cracks and control joints.
This homeowner previously had a water drainage system installed in her basement, but she was concerned with her current sump pump and its reliability. She knew that we had sump pump options that her parents had used, so she gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the older sump pump, determine if it was reliable, then determine what steps to take after the inspection. Todd found that the older sump pump did not have a battery backup, and that this would be problematic if her power ever went out. He also found that the sump pump's age had started to effect it's efficiency. Todd determined that the homeowner could use a new sump pump and the homeowner agreed. Our team came and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that has 3 pumps and a battery backup.
The homeowner was very happy with the work that was done. She now feels secure in her home and knows that she is protected against water damage in a power outage. Check out her new sump pump system!
Our customer called us with concerns about a cold, damp draft above the crawlspace in their home. To address the issue, we installed CleanSpace with a SmartDrain system.
The SmartDrain System is an advanced drainage system designed specifically for crawl spaces. It consists of a meticulously engineered bottomless liner that is complemented by an airtight lid. This intelligent system serves as a safeguard against plumbing mishaps or unexpected water intrusion by swiftly channeling the water away from the crawl space.
During the installation process, we meticulously create a dedicated drywell that houses the SmartDrain system. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, we surround the drain with a carefully selected bed of clean drainage stone. This strategic arrangement effectively isolates the drain from the surrounding soil, significantly reducing the risk of clogs and obstructions.
What sets the SmartDrain system apart is its ingenious ball-and-cup drain mechanism. As soon as water enters the cup, the buoyant ball effortlessly floats, triggering the opening of the drain to allow for immediate water evacuation. Once the water subsides, the ball seamlessly reseals the drain, effectively maintaining an impermeable barrier. Additionally, the SmartDrain system features an integrated WaterWatch® Alarm that promptly alerts homeowners in the event of water detection, ensuring swift action can be taken.
The advantages of our comprehensive solution are numerous. The SmartDrain system comes with a meticulously engineered airtight lid that seamlessly integrates with our overall crawl space system, ensuring optimal performance. With the inclusion of a reliable flood alarm system, homeowners gain an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. The ball-and-cup drain design operates flawlessly within its bed of clean drainage stone, maximizing efficiency while minimizing the potential for blockages. For added convenience, the SmartDrain system can also be integrated with optional home alarm systems, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and control.
By implementing CleanSpace alongside the SmartDrain system, we effectively mitigate the issue of cold dampness in the area above the crawl space. This advanced solution not only promotes superior moisture control but also creates a more inviting and comfortable living environment for homeowners.
