Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions address water intrusion through cracks, poor drainage, and wall leaks. Using systems like WaterGuard drainage and SuperSump pumps, we redirect water away from foundations while preventing mold growth and structural damage. Services include exterior waterproofing membranes, interior drainage channels, and vapor barrier installation to create dry, usable basement spaces.
Foundation Repair
We specialize in fixing foundation cracks, bowing walls, and uneven settling through engineered solutions. Our methods include wall anchor systems, carbon fiber reinforcement, and helical piers to stabilize and restore structural integrity. Each repair includes soil analysis and customized plans to prevent future shifting or damage in poured concrete, block, or stone foundations.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Our encapsulation process seals crawl spaces with 20-mil vapor barriers and dehumidification systems to control moisture. This prevents mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations while improving indoor air quality. We install CleanSpace liners and SaniDry systems to maintain dry conditions and energy efficiency in subfloor areas.
Humidity Control
SaniDry dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from basements and crawl spaces up to four times more efficiently than standard units. By maintaining 50% relative humidity, we eliminate mold spores, dust mites, and musty odors while protecting stored belongings and improving overall home comfort through cleaner, drier air circulation.
Basement Finishing
ThermalDry flooring and ZenWall paneling transform damp basements into functional living spaces. These systems provide insulation, moisture resistance, and aesthetic improvements while allowing for future full renovations. We install washable wall panels, moisture-resistant flooring, and lighting solutions to create warm, durable basement environments.
