Before & After Photos

A stone foundation leaks in several locations beside where the basement floor meets the wall.  To fix this leaky stone foundation in St. Louis, Missouri, we installed our WaterGuard® waterproofing system, which has a vertical flange that allows the water that comes in between the stones to get down into the system. After that if freely flows to our TripleSafe® sump pump.  Before remodeling we recommend a vertical vapor barrier be applied to the stone foundation.

Water marks coming down from the wood sill plate is an outside drainage issue and needs to be repaired from the outside.  Digging a trench and installing drain tile below the sill plate directs water to a low spot downhill from the sill plate.  Water can no longer rise up and come in over the sill plate into the basement.

Water used to seep through the cinder block foundation in this Edwardsville, Illinois basement.  Now, the basement is equipped with a full-perimeter waterproofing system and TripleSafe Sump Pump system.

A stair-stepping crack through the brickwork is a possible sign of a foundation that is settling. These Freeburg, Illinois homeowners called us to take care of the crack and inspect their foundation.

Our push piers are placed beneath the foundation wall by removing some of the footing so the pier bracket fits close to the vertical foundation wall.  The hydraulic ram smoothly installs the pier tubing and the excavated holes are filled in when completed.

When support pillars in the crawl space settle and can no longer maintain supporting the subfloor and flooring, interior drywall cracks and uneven floors could become a problem.  Our SmartJack® support jacks are the right answer to this problem.  Set on a properly installed footing block, these galvanized adjustable posts will stand the test of time.
