With all of the dry weather the ground has released a lot of water and shriveled up. During this process the soil will pull away from the foundation walls. This will allow movement and settlement of the basement foundation walls. This is an example of cracks in the wall and the wall is bowing. The wall can be braced and stabilized with bracing. In many cases the wall can be straightened back to plumb.
With any type of waterproofing, the sump pump is the heart of the system. The contractor grade of sump pumps/pit can withhold the longevity of the home. Midwest Foundation Repair replaced the pit with an Ultra Sump Pump and added a SaniDry to help with humidity during the wet season. Make sure to service your sump pump annually with our Midwest Care Club. Call our office to set up your Annual Maintenance.
Crawl spaces left unattended can slowly deteriorate. Mold growth, bug and spider infestation, moisture, and odors develop and increase over time.
Cleaning up and fully encapulating the crawl space is the safest and healthiest way to not only improve the space itself, but to improve the air quality in the rooms and floors above.
