At this home, the owners have been having problems with a foundation crack that has now led to a bowing wall. Our team went out and installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors that will support the bowing wall, then layered with a high-strength epoxy resin and carbon fiber straps. These flexible carbon straps are 10 times stronger than steel and can be installed quickly, stabilizing the home's foundation.
This customer was having a few issues with the foundation in the basement, first the customer had Vertical cracks starting from the floor and going up to the top of the wall, to stabilize this wall we used our Carbon Armour Strip system, which will strengthen and stabilize the wall over time. The second issue was water seeping in through the porous block foundation every time it would rain. Our waterproofing solution was to install a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier,a Trench drain at the entrance of the outside door, Waterguard along the basement perimeter and a SuperSump Pump.
Customer had an old Sump pump that just could not keep up with the amount of water getting into their basement, we came out and installed a TripleSafe Sump pump which can discharge 2200 gallons of water per hour, WaterGuard drainage system which will collect the water coming in through the walls and direct it to that TripleSafe sump pump and then to make sure the humidity levels in the basement stay down, we installed our Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier.
This customer wants to change a small basement window into an egress which provides more natural light as well as an emergency exit. We installed an In-Swing Egress window, Egress Rockwell Cascade and an Egress Rockwell Elite cover. For added protection, we also installed our Well Duct system with WaterGuard. In a rare case where water may come over the window ledge, the WellDuct will guide the water down the wall into our WaterGuard system and into the sump pump.
In this stone floor crawl space, the homeowners were noticing cold drafts coming in through the house and were in need of encapsulating it. Inside the crawl space, we placed our drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner that will transform the damp, dirty space into a clean, dry foundation. Then we installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all around the foundation walls and on the bottom of each pier, which will then create better conditioning air by resolving water issues.
