Foundation Repair
Cracks in walls, floors, or foundations can point to underlying movement or stress. We identify the cause and complete repairs that stabilize the area and help prevent further damage.
Service Description: Our crew focuses on durable repairs using proven methods, with careful attention to detail from start to finish.
Crawl Space Issues
Moisture and ventilation problems in the crawl space can lead to odors, mold conditions, and damage to wood supports. We inspect the space, identify what’s driving the problem, and fix it at the source.
Service Description: We help create a drier, healthier crawl space by addressing moisture control and structural concerns with practical, lasting solutions.
Crack and Void Repair
Cracks and voids in concrete can allow moisture intrusion and weaken structural areas over time. We repair and seal affected areas to restore strength and reduce future issues.
Service Description: We use repair techniques designed to stabilize concrete and improve long-term performance.
Wall Stabilization
Bowing or leaning foundation walls are a sign of pressure and movement that should be addressed quickly. We reinforce walls to help stop progression and restore stability.
Service Description: We provide wall stabilization solutions for residential and commercial properties based on the wall condition and structural needs.
Shotcrete Repair
Shotcrete is a high-strength concrete application used to reinforce foundation walls and repair damaged areas. It is often used for structural restoration where added strength is needed.
Service Description: Shotcrete helps strengthen weakened walls and supports long-term stability for properties dealing with movement or deterioration.
Earthquake Retrofit
Earthquake (EQ) retrofits improve how a home or building handles seismic movement by strengthening key connections and structural components. We evaluate vulnerabilities and install reinforcements where they matter most.
Service Description: Retrofit work is designed to improve structural performance during seismic activity and increase overall safety.
Basement Dig Outs
Basement dig outs increase headroom and usable space by carefully lowering the basement floor while protecting structural integrity. This work requires planning, excavation, and proper reinforcement.
Service Description: We manage the project from excavation through structural support so the space is expanded safely and correctly.
Concrete Pumping
We provide concrete pumping services for residential and commercial projects, including access-challenging locations where standard placement is not practical.
Service Description: Our pumping equipment supports efficient placement for a wide range of concrete and shotcrete applications.
Waterproofing Services
Water intrusion and chronic dampness can lead to mold conditions and structural deterioration. We install systems that control water and help keep basements and crawl spaces drier.
Service Description: Waterproofing solutions may include drainage, vapor barriers, and moisture control measures based on your property’s conditions.
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps remove water from basements and crawl spaces to help prevent flooding and recurring moisture buildup. We install and replace sump pumps with reliable operation in mind.
Service Description: We focus on proper placement, correct discharge routing, and system performance so the pump works when it is needed.
French Drains
French drains help redirect water away from your home to reduce pooling and pressure near the foundation. We install systems that collect water and move it to an appropriate discharge point.
Service Description: A properly installed French drain supports long-term drainage control and helps protect the foundation and surrounding areas.
Base-Crete
Base-Crete is a waterproof concrete coating applied to foundation walls to help reduce moisture intrusion and protect the wall surface over time.
Service Description: The coating bonds to concrete and helps create a durable moisture barrier for crawl spaces and basements.
Commercial Foundation Repair
Commercial foundation issues can affect safety, operations, and property value. We assess structural concerns and complete repairs that restore stability and meet project requirements.
Service Description: Services may include crack repair, stabilization, and structural reinforcement for commercial buildings across our service area.
