BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
If you've seen standing water in the basement after a large rainfall, this is not good. When this water is not controlled, it will keep you from being able to store items in the area and even keep you from fully using the area. Excess water and humidity will eventually cause the growth of mildew and mold which could in the future be a cause of dangerous health problems. If there is standing water in your basement, you should reach out to us so a member of our team can evaluate the flooding and help implement a basement waterproofing solution which will control water coming in and prevent any additional problems from happening. This will stop the growth of mold and also make it so you can finally have the ability to turn the basement into viable storage space, an extra room, or even a spare bedroom.
BOWED WALL REPAIR
Bowing foundation walls are a problem that can very quickly get very serious. Your basement walls job is to both keep the soil out and hold up the home above. When the foundation walls are bowing inward, this is an indicator that they may be in danger of collapsing. If the bowing keeps happening, it could eventually lead to a failure of the foundation walls and result in a very expensive replacement or rebuilding of the foundation in that area. The worst case scenario is the house could collapse. To repair bowing foundation walls, our team uses a system of specially designed wall anchors to straighten the problem wall back into place and permanently prevent it from buckling any longer. These anchors can be expertly installed in a day and can straighten the bowed foundation wall the same day. After the wall has been repaired, the probability of it becoming a problem again are very low.
CRAWL SPACES
If your home has a crawl space, it is probably an area that you only go to when there is an obvious problem. This is because they are normally improperly sealed off and are frequently messy, dangerous, and can have critters holed up in them. Crawl spaces are known for having humidity problems that could cause problems with the floor joists and even cause mold to grow. Our team knows an ideal way to prevent problems in crawl spaces is to encapsulate them and seal them off from the weather. 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 will install a series of jacks to lift and stabilize the floor joists and correct the sinking floor. To further control extra moisture, we will install a specialized crawl space dehumidifier to remove the extra humidity and prevent mold growth.
FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT REPAIR
If you're noticing cracks in the foundation or if you've noticed them at the corners of the windows or doors, this is an indicator that there are problems with the foundation and you may be in need of foundation repair. Another sign could be the doors or windows are difficult to open or close or even sticking when opening them. Sinking foundations are commonplace in the Orange City area as the moisture levels of the soil fluctuates during the year. They are occasionally caused by poor compaction during the building of your home. Our team can install a piering system 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.
