Sometimes we get calls from a home owner who has just noticed a crack in a basement wall or floor. Some cracks are more difficult to notice when they first appear because they can be rather small. This is really the best time to deal with a basement crack – before there is any water leaking in.
More often than not, we get a phone call because water has entered the picture (or more accurately, the basement). If there is a way in, water will find it. If you are in this situation, you need to get this taken care of as soon as possible. Basement leaks typically don’t fix themselves; they generally get worse over time. It’s less expensive to fix a small leak before it gets big.
- We’ve been doing this for quite some time, and we offer a variety of related services:
- Foundation repair
- Concrete waterproofing
- Basement flooding solutions
- Basement drainage
- Mold solutions
- Sump pumps
- Stairwell and window well solutions
Foundation repair
Once water starts leaking in through the walls or floor of the basement, your foundation is in need of repair. The concrete or cinder block walls or slab is under a lot of pressure, so it will take more than just some “crack sealer” to keep the water from coming in. The water pressure has to actually be relieved. We have a system for doing this, which we can explain when we come out to take a look at your basement.
Concrete waterproofing
Genuine concrete waterproofing means more than a coat of sealant on the concrete itself. The concrete is in a constant battle with hydrostatic pressure of the water that is in the ground all around and under the foundation. If that pressure remains, it will eventually win and then you have a leaking problem.
Basement flooding solutions
Solutions to your basement flooding problem can be divided into a couple of general groups: short term and long term. To fix the immediate problem, we will remove the water from your basement. The long term solution, however, is to eliminate whatever conditions are allowing the water to get in to start with . We have a variety of ways of doing that.
Basement drainage
When water enters your basement, either through a wall or through the floor, it will stay there unless there is a way for it to drain off. What we do is provide basement drainage that allows the water to be diverted away before you ever see it in your basement.
Mold solutions
Mold and mildew can cause some rather serious health issues, in addition to the unpleasant sight and smell that comes with it. It is critical that we eliminate the conditions that allow mold to grow. Basements are often dark by nature, and when moisture is also present, it creates an environment where mold will thrive. We remove that moisture, so mold cannot exist there anymore.
Sump pumps
A sump pump is an excellent quick way to get rid of standing water on your basement floor. They come in different sizes dependent on the particular situation. We can help you decide if a sump pump is a good way to go.
Stairwell and window well solutions
Since many stairwells and window wells are at ground level (or even below), they are prone to have excess moisture or even puddling of water. We take care of this for you as well.
