Basement & Crawl Space WaterproofingTransform basements and crawl spaces into resilient, water-resistant environments through a comprehensive waterproofing system.
This involves the precise installation of drainage systems, sealing of cracks using jackhammered concrete, and the application of hydraulic cement to create a robust barrier against water infiltration, safeguarding the structural integrity of the space. |
Mold RemediationMold remediation is a meticulous approach aimed at eradicating mold growth within indoor spaces.
This method entails a thorough assessment of mold contamination, containment measures, removal of mold-infested materials, and the application of antimicrobial agents to halt further mold growth. |
Structural RepairStructural repair is the process of restoring or reinforcing the integrity of a building or structure. It addresses issues such as damage from age, natural disasters, or poor construction, aiming to improve stability and safety.
This may involve repairing or replacing damaged elements like support beams or walls and adding additional supports to strengthen weak areas. The ultimate goal is to ensure the structure's longevity and safety for occupants. |
Crawl Space EncapsulationCrawl space encapsulation is a systematic method for sealing crawl spaces to improve moisture control and indoor air quality.
This comprehensive process includes installing a durable protective liner, usually 12mil or thicker, to isolate the crawl space floor from the ground. Additional measures like dehumidifiers, sump pumps, and insulation are strategically used depending on the specific environmental conditions of the crawl space. |
Vapor BarrierVapor barriers are essential components of well-ventilated crawl spaces.
These barriers, often 6mil protective liners, play a pivotal role in humidity reduction when installed in conjunction with efficient ventilation. Adhering to Indiana code requirements, these barriers run up foundation walls at least 6 inches, constituting the baseline for effective crawl space protection. |
Sump PumpsSump pumps are ingenious devices strategically installed in basements or crawl spaces to combat water accumulation from excessive groundwater or flooding.
Alone, sump pumps efficiently pump water out and away from the building. When coupled with tile or "french" drains, water is directed towards the sump pump, preventing pooling in other vulnerable areas. |
Spray FoamSpray foam is a dynamic insulation material applied with precision using a spray gun.
Witness its expansion and hardening into a solid foam that delivers superior insulation and air-sealing properties. Particularly advantageous for aging structures with deteriorating mortar, spray foam becomes a pivotal element in enhancing energy efficiency, temperature control, and mitigating air leakage. |
Structural Engineering ReportsStructural engineering reports are comprehensive documents meticulously prepared by structural engineers.
These reports provide a detailed assessment of a structure's condition, stability, and load-bearing capacity. Offering precise recommendations for repairs, modifications, or reinforcements, they serve as invaluable tools to ensure the enduring structural integrity and safety of the building. |
