Sagging Floors Lifted in Des Moines, IA

This homeowner previously had wall support serviced by us, and she wanted to improve the support in her basement once again. She was getting her floors redone upstairs, but she was afraid that the floors had began to sag over the years in her home. She wanted her floors to be level and secure for when she redid them, so she gave us a call for addition support in her basement.

We had our Service Technician Joe Rebik inspect the floors to and determine where additional support was needed. Joe found that there was no support for the flooring, only the wall supports that one of our teams had installed previously. This would be concerning, however the homeowner found the problem before anything worse could have happened. She wanted Joe to fix this problem quickly, so Joe set up another installation appointment for the homeowner. Soon, our installation team came out and installed 2 supplemental beams as well as 4 SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floors.

The homeowner was happy to have solid floors to walk on now. She is so excited to start remodeling her floors soon. Check out her newly supported floors!

Cracked and Settled Driveway Repaired in Ottumwa, IA

This homeowner was upset with her driveway because the tripping hazards and large cracks on her concrete were an eye sore. She wanted to solve this problem, so after talking to people in the community, she knew that we would be the best people to help her get her driveway back into a good condition. 

We sent System Design Specialist Elliot Christians to inspect the driveway and determine what was causing the problems with her concrete. Elliot found that the homeowner's driveway was suffering because of street creep putting pressure on the concrete and pushing it towards the foundation. As this problem would continue to progress without any solutions, the homeowner knew that she needed to have her driveway fixed quickly, so she scheduled an installation appointment with one of our teams. That installation team used our 2-part Concrete Protection System included PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the driveway. The team also installed Compression Guard to act as a buffer between the street and the driveway to prevent street creep from continuing. 

The homeowner was so happy to have a driveway that she could be proud of again. She even wanted to use our services for waterproofing in the future. Check out her newly restored driveway!

Sitting Water Solved with TripleSafe System in Mason City, IA

This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry because he had been struggling with water sitting in his basement. He had used our services previously, so he knew just who to call when he needed waterproofing solutions.

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the basement and determine what was causing water to get into the homeowners basement. Michael found that there were no waterproofing systems in place to protect the homeowner's basement, so water was not leaving the basement once it got in. Also, Michael saw that the drainage system was not pumping water out of the drains as they easily froze over in the winter and prevented water from getting out. Michael discussed with the homeowner some options for waterproofing as well as fixing the small drainage system, and the homeowner decided to start with fixing the drainage system. Our installation team installed 2 TripleSafe Sump Pump Systems included 4 IceGuards which protect the sump pump from freezing over in the winter. These sump pumps will also help to pump water out of the basement as opposed to the previous drainage system which only ran water downhill.

The homeowner was thrilled with the final product and he already notices the difference in water getting out of his basement. Check out the new outdoor draining transformation!

Basement Mold Prevention in Des Moines, IA

Mold can be one of the worst things to happen to a home, and, it doesn't need much to grow. In a dark damp environment, mold can grow after 24 hours. This is why it's important to ensure that your home is able to keep water out of your basement.

For this home, we were able to install CleanSpace, which involves the installation of a durable vapor barrier that completely seals off the crawl space from outside elements. This multi-layered liner, made of heavy-duty material, acts as a moisture barrier, preventing the intrusion of water vapor, mold, mildew, and pests into the crawl space. CleanSpace encapsulation helps to maintain a clean and dry environment, improving indoor air quality, reducing the risk of mold growth, and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the home. 

Wall Cracks Water Problem Solved in Knoxville, IA

This homeowner wanted to prevent water from coming into his basement. He simply wanted to restore his peace of mind and ensure that he wouldn't have to keep cleaning up the water mess. He had used our services previously for foundation support, so he knew just who to call for his waterproofing needs.

We sent Service Technician Brandon Rost to inspect the possible sources of water and start to implement solutions custom to the homeowner's needs. Brandon found that water was getting in through the cracks in the basement walls, so he knew that a full perimeter waterproofing solution would be necessary and beneficial. Brandon and one of our installation teams used Full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a Super Sump Pump to ensure that water was draining our of the basement and keeping the basement dry.

The homeowner was very happy with the work because it was fast, friendly, and done the right way. Check out this homeowner's new waterproofing systems!
