Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Idaho Before & After Photos

A homeowner reached out because their basement laundry room, set in the lowest point of the house, flooded during heavy rains. After contacting a plumber, his determination was that it was ground water seeping up from the water table after the rains. The plumber suggested a sump pump and the owners contacted Foundation and Crawl Space Repair. We promptly installed a SuperSump, WaterGuard which solves basement water problems without clogging, IceGuard to let water escape from SubPump and run on the normal route, and a WaterGuard Inspection Port that works with the WaterGuard system; all items that will keep the basement laundry room dry and serviceable.

There were six Push Piers installed on the southwest portion of the foundation where the foundation had settled. We were able to lift the foundation 2 inches which leveled out the flooring of the master bed and guest bedroom. With the installation of the Push Piers, it provides the house with more stability and prohibits any future foundation settlement.  

A Boise homeowner wanted to transform his crawlspce into a moisture free and conditioned space. We laid down our Cleanspace vapor barrier as well as the SilverGlo wall insualtion. 

The CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System relies on the exceptional strength of carbon fiber fabric – 10 times stronger than steel. Typically it is installed on the interior of crawlspaces to cover cracks and lightly address a settlement issue. In this case, there was no access to the crawlspace so our system specialist had our crew put it on the exterior footing. The horizonal crack was first sealed with Flexispan then covered with carbon armor to halt any further settlement.

The plumbing in this basement was replaced, but not before the previous leaky pipes had caused water damage to the cement wall. Besides the crumbling cement being unsightly, a large hole left by the previous pipe let water in whenever it rained. Our team used CarbonArmor straps and NexusPro sealant to both restore the structural integrity of the wall and to waterproof the basement.
