Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions prevent water intrusion through foundation cracks and flooring. Using interior draintile systems, sump pumps, and crack injections, we address hydraulic pressure issues. Services include battery backup sump pumps and window well drainage for long-term protection against flooding and structural damage.
Sump Pump Installation
We install primary and backup sump pump systems to manage groundwater effectively. Our technicians assess site conditions to determine optimal placement and capacity. Services include pit excavation, discharge line installation, and battery backup integration to ensure functionality during power outages.
Erosion Control
Our erosion control services protect properties from soil displacement caused by surface water runoff. Solutions include French drains, downspout extensions, and grading adjustments. We use durable materials and strategic design to redirect water away from foundations while maintaining landscaping aesthetics.
Crack Repair
We repair foundation cracks using epoxy and polyurethane injections to stop water leaks. The process involves pressure testing to identify active leaks and structural weaknesses. Our non-invasive methods preserve interior finishes while creating watertight seals that prevent future moisture intrusion.
Egress Window Installation
We install code-compliant egress windows for basement safety and water management. The process includes waterproofing window wells, installing drainage systems, and ensuring proper grading. These installations improve emergency escape routes while protecting foundations from water accumulation around window openings.
