BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
If you have water in the basement after a heavy rain, it is never good. When this water is present, it will prevent you from having the ability to keep items in the area and even keep you from using that space as another room. Excess moisture and humidity will eventually harbor mold and mildew which could ultimately be a cause of life threatening health problems. If you're noticing standing water in your basement, you should contact us so one of our experts can evaluate the water and help create a basement waterproofing system which will prevent water coming in and prevent unnecessary damage from happening. This will stop the growth of mold and also help so you can finally be able to turn the basement into viable storage space, an extra room, or even an additional bedroom.
BOWED WALL REPAIR
Buckling basement or foundation walls are a minor issue that can rapidly become very serious. The purpose of your basement walls is twofold; support the home and keep soil out of the basement. When the foundation walls are pushing into the basement, this is a sign that they may not be able to support the building much more. If the buckling keeps happening, it is possible for the walls to fail and result in a very expensive replacement or rebuilding of the foundation in that area. The worst case scenario is the home above could collapse. To repair bowing foundation walls, our experts uses a system of specially designed wall anchors to pull the bowing wall back into place and prevent it from buckling any longer. The anchors can be expertly installed in a day and can correct the bowing foundation wall once installed. After the wall has been repaired, the chances of it becoming a problem again are almost none.
CRAWL SPACES
If your home has a crawl space, it is probably a part of the home that you will only worry about when there is a noticeable problem. This is because they are usually improperly sealed off and are frequently messy, dirty, and can even have critters holed up in them. They are notorious for having humidity problems that could cause damage to the floor joists and even cause mold to grow. Our experts know an ideal way to control problems in crawl spaces is to install an encapsulation system and close them off from the weather. This will control unnecessary moisture and humidity in addition to controlling the entry of unwanted pests. If you've got sagging floors above the crawl space, we will install a system of jacks to lift and stabilize the floor joists and correct the sinking floor. To further control excess moisture, we will install a specialized dehumidifier to remove the excess humidity and prevent mold growth.
FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT REPAIR
If you've noticed cracks in the foundation or if you've noticed them at the corners of the window frames or door frames, this is one of the signs that there are problems with the foundation and you are in need of foundation repair. An additional sign could be the doors or windows are difficult to open or close or even sticking when moving them. Foundation problems are fairly common in the Fairbury area due to the moisture content of the soil go up and down during the year. These issues are also caused by poor compaction when your home was being built. Our experts can install a piering system under your house that will shift the weight of the home to the piers and keep the house from sinking or settling in the future.
