Basement and Foundation Repair Fixed This Home

This customer wanted to make their home safer so their family can live in the home for another 10 years. When we inspected, we found the house was taking on a lot of water due to the clay bowl effect. This was causing water to come inside and push their walls in, causing their home to sink. It also created gaps in the rim joists, allowing air to come in. Not only were they experiencing a wet basement, but their air quality and the structural integrity of their home were also being affected.

There are a multitude of issues going on in this home, which requires a lot of solutions. The first thing we did was install our EverBrace Wall System to help permanently support their walls and prevent them from caving in. Next, we installed a product called SilverGlow. This will help insulate and fix the gaps in the rim joists. We also installed a dehumidifier to regulate the moisture and improve the air quality. Next up, we waterproofed the basement, which is what you can see in the images above. We installed a interior drainage system to direct water to a sump pump, buried the downspouts, and installed a vapor barrier.
