Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Idaho Before & After Photos

Is there water coming into your basement through some cracks? A recent homeowner was experiencing water going into her basement through a crack that connected to the window. She wasn't sure what she should do so she did some research. She came across our website and decided to see if this was something we could help her with.  Once she figured out we could help she gave us a call and we got her on the schedule to meet with our specialist Tim. Once Tim got to the home he met with the homeowner and they went over all of her concerns and answered any questions she might have. They then went inside to the basement to look at the water and the crack. Tim knew the best product of ours was going to be our FlexiSpan. 

The fiberglass insulation in this crawl space was rotting due to moisture brought in from the crawl space vents and thin, flimsy liner. We replaced the insulation with our never-rotting 2" foamboard insulation SilverGlo, including a radiant barrier to reflect heat back into the home for ultimate heating savings! Then, we replaced the liner with our superior 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner, manufactured in 7 layers for optimal brute tear resistance, puncture resistance, and flexibility. Now, this home will stay clean and dry for years to come! 

This damp basement needed a complete transformation. For its waterproofing system, we installed our TripleSafe, the world's most reliable pumping system with three pumps to address the three reasons why basements flood: pump failure, power failure, and a single pump being unable to keep up with the volume of rain. Surrounding the basement, we installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels, which provide warm, dry walls with studs and electrical wire chases, ready to finish — and, best of all, fit perfectly into our waterproofing solution. These wall panels will never rot, and, combined with our waterproofing system, will increase the comfort, health, and quality of life of this basement for years to come. 

The challenge when it comes to installing a pump system in the home is always where to put it. To maximize the water collection, the representative will usually place the pump at a low point or one that is in a corner out of the way. At this Boise home, a basement storage closet did not provide much space but enough to house one of our sump pump units.

A home inspection left our client worried that a crack in the foundation was serious. The specialist confirmed that the crack went all the way through the footing and recommended that it be repaired immediately.
