TripleSafe Pump System in Edgewood, MD

In this unfinished basement, water and mud would come into the home during heavy rainstorms and it was also believed that water was coming in through the concrete walls. We removed and replaced the old sump system with our TripleSafe Sump pump that will auto-adjust to meet the pumping requirements. The system is installed with an UltraSump battery backup that protects the new system from flooding during power outages.

Foundation Repair in Abingdon, MD

The initial call to our company was for basement waterproofing. The complaint was that water would get into the basement every time it would rain and then it would just progress with every rainfall, more and more water was getting in. When we got out there to assess the water issue, it became apparent that there was a problem with the customer's foundation. To correct these foundation issues we installed two push piers and seven, 8' Power Braces.

Push Piers are installed and locked under the home's foundation, allowing the weight from the foundation to transfer from the unstable soil to the stabilized piers. Power Braces are installed by anchoring to your basement floor and floor joist. The Power Brace is designed to be tightened over time and can potentially reverse the failing wall.
