Basement Waterproofing
Our patented Dry-Tec system permanently eliminates basement moisture through sub-floor drainage technology. This exterior-excavation-free solution guarantees no water or dampness up to 8 feet on masonry walls. Installed with laser-guided precision, the system includes vapor barriers and sump pump integration to address both liquid water and humidity issues in existing and unfinished basements.
Foundation Repair
Composite Piers stabilize foundations by transferring structural weight to load-bearing strata. Our helical plate and concrete-reinforced piers handle up to 50,000 lbs, addressing settlement from poor soil conditions. The system includes horizontal wall realignment and super lintel solutions for cracked door/window openings, with lifetime structural warranties.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
Aprilaire Closed Crawl Space System controls humidity at 40-50% using industrial dehumidifiers. The encapsulation process seals moisture intrusion through vapor barriers and drainage solutions, preventing mold growth and improving indoor air quality through controlled ventilation systems in accordance with Advanced Energy standards.
Drainage Solutions
Custom drainage systems address surface and subsurface water issues through catch basins, channel drains, and concrete flumes. Our solutions handle 4-48 inch diameter requirements with backfill restoration and grading techniques that prevent water accumulation near foundations while maintaining landscaping aesthetics.
Retaining Wall Repair
Helical tie-backs reinforce leaning retaining walls by anchoring into stable soil behind structures. Our lock-stone wall systems combine with composite piers to create durable, aesthetically pleasing solutions that accommodate natural settlement while preventing catastrophic wall failure in landscaping and structural applications.
