Family Home Wall Failure Saved in Garwin, IA

This homeowner noticed that one of his foundation walls was caving in. He was concerned that this wall would cause many problems in the future, so he decided to give us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the wall and determine what was causing it to cave inwards as well as how we could help to fix this problem. When Todd arrives at this house, he saw that the wall was experiencing wall failure as pressure form the soil surrounding the foundation had caused this wall to bow inwards over time.  Todd discussed this with the homeowner and determined that an EverBrace System would help to lock in and secure this wall for many years to come. Our installation team came out and installed just that, leaving the homeowner happy that his old farmhouse that was 3 generations of history for his family could continue to stand strong.

Hidden Wall Damage Fixed in Altoona, IA

These homeowners had used our services previously when their family moved into their home, so when they found a large wall problem upon remodeling their downstairs bathroom, they knew just who to call. System Design Specialist Kevin French came out to this home once again to inspect the wall problem and determine what happened and how to fix it. Kevin found that the previous seller of the home was hiding wall damage by putting the unfinished bathroom in so that the leaking and wall cracks wouldn't effect the sale. He was shocked at this problem and so were the homeowners, but he knew just how to help them so that this problem could be fixed quickly. One of our installation teams came out to the house and utilized PowerBraces, GeoLock Wall Anchors, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to effectively support, strengthen, and waterproof the basement so that no more surprise problems will hurt the homeowners' basement. The homeowners loved the job that the installation team did and they couldn't believe how cleaned up it was after the team left. Check out the PowerBraces installed!

Water Problem Solved in Des Moines, IA

This homeowner was having problems with water coming into her basement. She really hated the damp air this water created, and she wanted to use her basement for storage, so she knew that she had to fix this problem. After searching for the right solutions, she came across our reviews and determined that she wanted to work with us, so she gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the basement and determine where the water was coming from as well as how to stop this problem. Todd found that water was coming in from the cold joints in the foundation and the sitting water had been causing high humidity throughout her basement. When Todd finished his inspection, he discussed how a full perimeter solution as well as a new sump pump and dehumidifier would help solve her basement problems once and for all. She was excited to here this news, so when our installation team arrived, they got right to work, starting with installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System with a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. These perimeter solutions will work to keep the entire basement dry while the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump System and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier will help to keep the basement dry and control the air quality. The homeowner was so happy with the final products and she can't wait to use her basement! check out the basement transformation!

Pool Deck Sinking Fixed in Altoona, IA

This homeowner was concerned because his pool deck was sinking. He knew that we offered services to fix this problem in his area, so he gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Cunningham to inspect the pool deck and determine what was causing this problem as well as determine what solutions our team could offer to fix it. Brandon found that the soil underneath the pool deck was poorly compacted, so the soil had washed out then dried up overtime. After his inspection, he discussed with the homeowner the solutions we could offer, and the homeowner was very excited to have this problem fixed. One of our installation teams went our to this home and utilized PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the pool deck. The homeowner was super happy with the way it turned out, and now he can enjoy his pool this summer! Check out the newly leveled pool deck!

Concrete Lip Lifted in Ottumwa, IA

This homeowner was tired of hitting the joints on the concrete while removing snow in the winter. He wanted his driveway to look nice and be easy to shovel for the coming winter, so he decided to give us a call regarding his concrete.

We sent System Design Specialist Luke Miller to inspect the concrete joints an determine where we could help to smooth the concrete. Luke noticed that a couple sections of the driveway had settled slightly, causing a lip that would catch a snow blower or shovel, and also cause a tripping hazard down the road. After discussing this issue with the homeowner, they went ahead and scheduled an installation appointment to get the homeowner's concrete fixed. One of our concrete installation teams came to this home and lifted the settled slabs using PolyLevel foam. The team was able to bring the concrete back to its original location and keep it stabilized. Next, our team sealed the cracks and joints of the concrete using NexusPro sealant to ensure that the driveway looked nice, and to also prevent water or any other material from getting caught in the concrete's joints and cracks. 

The homeowner was very excited with the way that his concrete turned out and he really liked to see it level again. Check out this homeowner's newly leveled concrete!
