🧱  Foundation Repair

Cracks, settlement, piers, and structural fixes.

9 Questions
What are signs of foundation problems?
Cracks in walls or floors, sticking doors/windows, uneven floors, and water intrusion are the most common signs.
Some are cosmetic, but others indicate structural movement. We inspect and tell you exactly what you're dealing with — no guessing.
Soil movement, water pressure, poor drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles are the main causes.
Foundation repairs vary in cost. Basic foundation repairs typically run anywhere from $1,200 to $7,000 on average. Larger repairs that require structural support generally start around $7,000 and up.
We use proven systems like helical piers, push piers, crack repair, and structural reinforcement based on your specific issue.
Most jobs take 1–3 days depending on size and complexity.
In many cases, yes — but it depends on the structure and extent of settlement. We aim for maximum safe lift.
Yes — our systems are designed as long-term solutions, not temporary fixes.
Yes. Fixing structural issues protects your investment and makes your home easier to sell.

💧  Basement Waterproofing

Wet basements, leaks, drainage, and warranties.

9 Questions
What's the difference between waterproofing and dampproofing?
Waterproofing stops water completely. Dampproofing only slows moisture — it does not prevent leaks.
Basements may leak for various reasons. The most common are cracks, gaps, or spaces within a foundation wall allowing water through, and water-table issues
   that allow water to rise from underneath the foundation up through the floor.
A lot of different methods are used for waterproofing, but generally speaking most foundation waterproofing projects run between $4,000 and $15,000.
Both exterior and interior waterproofing systems have their place. During our inspection, we walk you through both options and give you a clear understanding of which makes more sense for you.
Yes. We offer transferable lifetime warranties on qualifying waterproofing systems.
Yes, it can — if the source of your moisture is water leaking through your foundation.
Most projects are completed in 1–4 days.
Yes. We can waterproof almost any water issue from inside a structure while providing a lifetime warranty.
We minimize disruption, but final landscaping restoration is typically not included unless specified.

🧰  Concrete Lifting / Foam Leveling

Sunken slabs, driveways, patios, and pool decks.

6 Questions
What is concrete lifting?
Cracks in walls or floors, sticking doors/windows, uneven floors, and water intrusion are the most common signs.
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, garage floors, and interior slabs.
Most jobs are completed in a few hours.
Typically within 15–30 minutes after injection.
Yes — usually a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
It's a long-term solution that won't wash out or degrade like older methods.

🧊  Crawl Space Encapsulation

Vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, mold, and air quality.

12 Questions
What is crawl space encapsulation?
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing a crawl space with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, closing vents, and controlling moisture with a dehumidifier. This creates a dry, conditioned environment.
Crawl space encapsulation seals the area from ground moisture, outside air, and humidity to create a clean, dry, controlled environment. This helps prevent mold, wood rot, and structural damage while improving indoor air quality, making floors warmer, reducing energy costs, and deterring pests. It's a long-term solution that protects the home and adds value by eliminating one of the most common hidden problems beneath it.
Musty odors, high humidity, mold, wood rot, cold floors, or pests in the crawl space are all common signs.
Crawl space encapsulation pricing varies based on the size of the crawl space and current conditions. Generally, most encapsulations are between $4,000 and $30,000.
Yes — by controlling moisture, encapsulation eliminates the conditions mold needs to grow.
Yes. It reduces cold air coming up through the floors and helps stabilize indoor temperatures.
Most crawl spaces can be fully encapsulated in 2–6 days.
Yes — when installed properly, it's a long-term system designed to last for years.
Yes. Eliminating moisture and mold in the crawl space removes musty smells from the house.
Yes. It's a major upgrade that protects the structure and appeals to buyers.
Yes — but we first address drainage or water issues before sealing the space.
Encapsulation seals off the ground and crawl space, leaving virtually no entry points from below. The only potential access is above the system — like at the rim joist or framing. While no system is 100% pest-proof, a dry, sealed crawl space is far less attractive and much harder for pests to enter.
