Your Trusted Lansing, IA Crawl Space & Foundation Repair Experts

A homeowner in Lansing, IA, knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. Once the appointment date arrived, our Service Technician traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the previously installed products. During the inspection, the Service Technician confirmed the products were running properly. However, the homeowner noted their basement walls were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the water intrusion from continuing, the Service Technician recommended securing WaterGuard along the struggling wall. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with the crew to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, the crew started by prepping for the WaterGuard installation. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew can shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard. After the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work the crew completed. If you notice your home is experiencing a simliar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Lansing, IA, noticed that the concrete on his front porch had started to sink, which was causing the stairs to slope and be uneven. He wanted to raise his concrete back to its original position, but didn't want to have to replace it to do so.

One of our concrete repair experts started the installation by drilling multiple small holes in the concrete of the front porch. He injected the PolyLevel solution, a polymer foam, into the holes. The foam gradually expanded and started to raise the concrete. They continued this process a few times until the concrete was raised back to its original position. Lastly, they filled back the holes with concrete. The homeowner was thrilled to have raised steps and is glad he won't have to be concerned about his concrete for years to come!
