Rexburg, ID Basement, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair Professionals

A homeowner in Rexburg, ID reached out to our team at Foundation & Crawl Space Repair with concerns regarding her wet basement. Water had been seeping inside, damaging the basement walls, and collecting pools of water along the floor. These are serious issues that no one wishes to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local basement waterproofing experts!

One of our knowledgeable specialists went to perform a free, no obligation quote and inspection. After he completed a thorough investigation of the area, he sat down with the homeowner to educate her on what was happening in her basement, why this occurs, and what options are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, one of our expert crews got to work. They installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to prevent the area from flooding. This three-pump system will automatically adjust to the current needs of the environment - this includes a battery-powered pump that turns on in the case of a power outage. They added IceGuard protection to the sump pump downspout to ensure that water would always be able to escape the pipe - even during freezing weather conditions. Lastly, our perimeter subfloor drainage system was installed throughout the basement. WaterGuard is specially designed to capture water at its entry point and direct it towards the sump pump.

Another dry basement and another happy customer thanks to Foundation & Crawl Space Repair of Idaho.

A homeowner had just bought a house and had only been there for a short time, but while residing there, began noticing signs of past water leaks. After a rainstorm, he noticed pools of standing water in the home. There was an addition put onto the house that required a new foundation to be poured. He believed that the water was coming in at the seam between the two foundation pours. He wanted to protect his household and his new investment, so he gave us a call and we sent our expert out to take a look.

After the expert examined the situation, our installers added CleanSpace wall system to both sides of the foundation seam to help direct water down the wall.  It creates a barrier between the wall and the insulation rather than allowing it to soak into the insulation. Our crew then installed WaterGuard to collect the runoff and a SuperSump sump pump to direct and pump water to a safe distance from the house. This homeowner can now rest assured that his new investment will remain safe and undamaged from water intrusion in the future.

Eric and Kim own an old farm house in the small town of Grant, right outside Idaho Falls. In the back yard they have a very large potato cellar. At first they used the cellar as storage but Kim wanted to use the large space for much more.

She wanted to turn it into an art studio/play room for her kids.  She knew it would take a lot more then just cleaning up the space and laying down carpet. She wanted it done right, she knew she would be living in this house for a very long time and he just wanted to take advantage of all the space she could. She talked with Eric and they started to look for a company that specialized in finishing basements.  One thing they had to be sure of was that they needed to make sure the space was waterproofed, being surrounding on almost all sides by soil the ground water could become their biggest issue.That’s when they called Foundation Support Works. We have all the right tools, products and knowledge to take care of all their needs and wants on this project.

By the time we had finished, you never would have guessed you were standing in an old potato cellar.  Not only that but we made the room a lot safer and less moist.
