Services
Waterproofing
Our comprehensive waterproofing solutions protect homes from groundwater intrusion using advanced coating systems and drainage technologies. We install exterior waterproofing membranes, interior drainage channels, and vapor barriers to create multi-layered protection against moisture penetration. Each system includes tail lines to direct water away from structures while maintaining proper soil drainage patterns.
Foundation Repair
We specialize in foundation stabilization using helical piers, I-beams, and dead-man anchors for both repair and preventive maintenance. Our engineers assess structural integrity then implement solutions that transfer building loads to stable soil strata while correcting existing damage from water intrusion or settling.
Crawlspace Conditioning
Our crawlspace solutions address humidity issues through encapsulation systems featuring vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and ventilation controls. We clean and treat floor joists while installing insulation replacement and complete crawlspace sealing to maintain optimal climate conditions beneath structures.
Yard Drainage
We design and install comprehensive drainage systems including French drains, swales, and catch basins to manage surface water runoff. Our solutions direct water away from foundations using gravity-fed systems that prevent soil saturation while maintaining landscape aesthetics.
Helical Pier Foundations
Our helical pier installations provide stable foundation support through screw-in steel piers with helical bearing plates. These deep foundation solutions work in challenging soil conditions without extensive excavation, offering immediate load-bearing capacity for new construction or foundation stabilization projects.

Questions
Should previous owners pay for water damage repairs?
Typically not unless you can prove intentional non-disclosure. Most insurance policies exclude water intrusion as maintenance issues rather than sudden damages.
Can I finish my basement confidently?
Yes, our comprehensive waterproofing systems allow basement finishing with written follow-up instructions for maintaining dry conditions.
Will landscaping be damaged during repairs?
We minimize disruption through hand-digging techniques and have excellent plant survival rates when replanting is necessary.
Why do new homes have water problems?
Building codes set minimum standards that often don't address long-term groundwater management. Our solutions exceed these baseline requirements.
How does water enter foundations?
Typically through inadequate waterproofing membranes or failed drainage systems. Our inspections identify exact entry points and recommend targeted solutions.
