BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
When you've seen standing water in your basement after a big rain, this is not good. If this water is not removed, it will prevent you from being able to store items in the basement and even keep you from turning that space into another room. Excess water and humidity will eventually harbor mold and mildew which can ultimately be a cause of life threatening health problems. If there is standing water in your basement, you should get in touch with us so a member of our team can look into the issue and help come up with a basement waterproofing system which will prevent water coming in and prevent any additional problems from happening. This will control the growth of mold and make it so you can be able to turn the basement into viable storage space, a second family room, or even an extra bedroom.
BOWED WALL REPAIR
Buckling foundation walls are a minor problem that can very quickly turn into one that is much more serious. Your basement walls job is twofold; support the home and keep soil out of the basement. When the walls are pressing into the basement, this is an indicator that they may not be able to do their job for much longer. If the problem keeps getting worse, it could eventually lead to a failure of the foundation walls and may even require you to rebuild or replace the foundation in that location. The worst case scenario is the house could collapse. To fix bowed basement walls, our experts uses a system of specially engineered wall anchors to straighten the problem wall back into place and permanently prevent it from buckling again. These anchors can be installed in a day and can straighten the bowing wall once installed. After the wall has been repaired, the chances of it bucking are very low.
CRAWL SPACES
If you've got a crawl space, it is probably an area that you will only go into when there is a noticeable problem. This is due to the fact that they are normally improperly closed off and are regularly messy, dirty, and can even have critters inhabiting them. They are notorious for having excess humidity problems that can cause problems with the floor joists and even enable mold to grow. Our experts know an ideal way to control issues in crawl spaces is to encapsulate them and close them off from the outside. This will control unnecessary moisture and humidity in addition to preventing unwanted pests from getting in. If you've got sagging floors above the crawl space, we can install a series of jacks to lift and stabilize the floor joists and restore the sagging floor. To further control excess moisture, we can install a specialized crawl space dehumidifier to remove the excess humidity and prevent mold growth.
FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT REPAIR
If you've noticed cracking in your foundation or if you've noticed them at the corners of the windows or doors, this is a sign that there are problems with your foundation and you may be in need of foundation repair. An additional sign could be your doors or windows being difficult to open or close or even not moving when closing them. Sinking foundations are fairly common in the Lennox area as the moisture levels of the soil fluctuates during the year. They are also caused by inadequate soil compaction while the home was being built. Our professionals can install a system of piers under your house which will shift the load of your home to the piers and keep the house from sinking or settling in the future.
