Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Idaho Before & After Photos

Mr. Lind called because he had a concrete window well that was cracked and caving into the basement. So we excavated the soil behind the wall so we could get a better idea of what we were working with.The concrete wall was pushed off the footing by 5 1/2 inches. So we installed our Geo-Lock wall anchors, and we were able to straighten the wall and secure it from any further movement. Mr. Lind was very pleased that we could get the wall back to being straight.  

See what waterproofing and fixing up a wet basement can do!

This homeowner called with concerns about the crawl space sealant deteriorating. They didn't think anything had been done since it was originally built in 1983 and when they ran the sprinkler system and saturated the ground, the water would bubble up in the crawlspace causing the insulation to fall apart and the 1st floor of the home to be consistently cooler than the rest of the home.

Our solution is to encapsulate and reinsulate using polystrene foam! Separating the earth from your home is important for many reasons but water prevention is a big one. Negative effects of a wet or damp crawl space can include:

- Dust mites

- Sticking doors and windows

- Smelly damp carpets

- Condensation/rotting/mold in your attic

- Frost or condensation and mold on the inside of windows in cool weather

- Increased heating or cooling bills

- Mold upstairs

- Aggravated asthma and allergies

Encapsulating your crawlspace make the space clean and usable!
