Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions address leaks, flooding, and mold using patented drainage systems and vapor barriers. We install the Healthy Basement Certification system, which includes a transferable warranty. Services reduce humidity, prevent structural damage, and improve indoor air quality for long-term home protection.
Crawl Space Repair
Crawl space repair services eliminate moisture, mold, and structural decay with encapsulation and drainage solutions. The Crawl Shield System includes vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and sump pumps to maintain energy efficiency and prevent pest infestations. Backed by the Healthy Crawl Space Certification.
Sump Pump Installation
We install high-capacity sump pumps, battery backups, and remote monitoring systems to prevent basement flooding. Annual maintenance plans ensure reliability during storms. Systems include dual pumps and water alarms for comprehensive water management and emergency preparedness.
Vapor Barriers
Vapor barrier installation prevents ground moisture from entering basements and crawl spaces. Our heavy-duty liners seal against humidity, reducing mold growth and energy costs. Combined with dehumidifiers, this creates a dry environment compliant with indoor air quality standards.
Foundation Crack Repair
Foundation crack repair stabilizes walls against hydrostatic pressure using epoxy injections and steel reinforcements. We address bowing, cracking, and water seepage to restore structural integrity and prevent basement flooding in older homes.
