The Contractor of Choice in West Salem for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repairs

After continuously putting off his concrete concerns, the homeowner in West Salem, WI, realized that his walkway and driveway had become a trip hazard. Concerned for the safety of his family, he began looking into concrete lifting services in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate with one of our experts.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Will R., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Will took note of the cracks that had formed along the driveway, as well as the trip hazard that had formed along the walkway. Will explained to the homeowner that soil compaction is one of the most common causes of sinking slabs and could be the reason why his walkway and driveway have become uneven. As cars drive and park over the driveway, the soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, causing the soil to compact and settle. This process creates voids in the soil, eventually leading to slabs sinking. To fix this issue effectively, Will recommended PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel is our elite solution to sunken slabs as its foam-expanding properties fill in the voids in the soil, accurately lifting concrete slabs. NexusPro is our silicone-based sealant that is specifically engineered to repair cracks that have formed and to seal joints. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro will not crack over time. After looking over Will's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small 3/8 inch holes into the slabs and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the voids in the soil and causing the concrete slab to lift. Once it has been lifted to the desired height, the crew seals the holes so that the concrete work is undetectable. Lastly, the crew used NexusPro to repair the cracks along the driveway and seal the joints in the walkway. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in West Salem, WI, recently learned about radon. The homeowner learned that radon is a tasteless, odorless gas that creates a high toxic level in the air we breathe. It is released as the soil decays, which makes it unavoidable in households. After learning this information, the homeowner quickly took action by purchasing a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Ross J., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Ross took measurements and provided a design for where our radon mitigation system would be installed. Ross explained to the homeowner that our system would be installed in the footing of the home so that it can suction out the radon-rich air and spew it outdoors. The homeowner agreed to Ross's design and scheduled the installation date.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began the installation by installing the PVC pipe into the footing. The pipe then connects to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. After the crew ensured everything was installed properly, they then cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Basement windows are usually made with steel or wood frames, and as they age, they break down and rust, decay, or attract corrosion. As they break down, they also become a leaking issue and your home loses conditioned air in the home, causing your energy costs to increase.
