After reviewing our stellar concrete leveling products, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project.

A few days later, James traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During his inspection, James confirmed the areas were suffering from settlement. To prevent the issues from worsening, James suggested lifting and leveling the damaged areas. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with James to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew traveled to the home. First, Charlie and his crew secured PolyLevel beneath the sunken slabs. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. As soon as all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their sunken concrete was lifted properly.

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 could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the SuperSump+ to the new WaterGuard. Once both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.

A homeowner in Lisbon, ND, had noticed that cracks had formed along his basement walls and was concerned for its stability. The homeowner remembered seeing one of our ads on TV and decided to search for our website. After browsing our website, he was impressed with our reviews and "Before and After" photos and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to assess the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of foundation damage is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by liquid. As water saturates the soil around your foundation, that water puts pressure against the walls. When that pressure exceeds what the wall can withstand, it is common to see cracks, bowing, and tilting of the walls. It was due to this reason that our Design Specialist recommended having our GeoLock wall anchors installed. He explained that the GeoLocks are installed by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. The earth anchor is then placed inside and is attached to the interior wall anchor. Both anchors are connected by a small steel pole that would run through the ground. The homeowner was grateful for his explanation and decided to move forward.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Franklin O., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 5 GeoLock wall anchors in total, and once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his foundation walls are stabilized. Have you noticed cracks along your basement walls? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!
