This house that we set out to waterproof was built in 1937 and had a block wall foundation. The relatively new owners of the home loved everything about the house, except for the fact that it leaked water every time it rained. In the before picture, you can actually see the damp spot on the floor closest to the wall. To waterproof it, we installed WaterGuard drains all around the interior perimeter of the basement, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and BrightWall paneling to give the walls a nice clean look. The homeowners won't have to worry about musty smells everytime it rains anymore.

In order to stabilize this homes foundation in New Richmond, OH, we underpinned the foundation with our helical piering system. The home was settling downwards, causing cracks and gaps to appear in the homes exterior. We started the pier installation by excavating around the home. We dug deep enough around the home to be able to expose the underside of the homes footing. After excavating, we then used a drive head on our excavator to drill our helical shaped piers deep down underneath the footing into load bearing soil. Once completed, we then logged the pressure ratings, which will ensure that our piers won't ever move in the future. Next, we attached the piers to the home by using our "L" shaped brackets, which latch right up underneath the footing. Lastly, we used hydraulics to lift the piers upwards, which allowed us to lift the home back to where it was originally built. This installation stabilized the home, and it even closed all the gaps around the home thanks to our use of the hydraulics.
We were called to a home where one room had started to sink, and the floors felt noticeably uneven. After inspecting the crawl space, we found that the existing supports had weakened and could no longer hold the load. To access the area directly above the failing section, we had to carefully cut open the tile and subfloor so we could install new structural support from both sides. Once everything was opened up, we installed SmartJacks in the crawl space and set each one on a solid footing to carry the weight of the room. After the system was tightened and adjusted, the floor lifted back into place and the room immediately felt stable again. The homeowner was happy with the outcome and relieved to see the sinking room fully supported and level.
This front porch was leaning down and to the left in New Richmond, OH, making for an awkward access point. Soil had completely washed away from underneath the slab, leaving a void of about 5-6 inches. We leveled out the front porch by injecting the slab with our PolyLevel foam. The great thing about the foam is that it is minimally invasive, durable, and clean. When the foam expands, it also helps compact the soil down - preventing the soil from settling in the future. The foam is also clean, waterproof, and fast-curing, allowing our team to get the project done very quickly. Our team was able to level the slab out by spreading precise amounts in carefully drilled pea-sized holes, and the homeowner was super gratified with the outcome.
