This customer was noticing water intrusion and cracks throughout the block structure in this below grade garage, concerned with structural issues, they reached out to a structural engineer to assess. Once the structural engineer evaluated the foundation, he recommended that Basement Systems USA come out and install Carbon Armor straps and a drainage system. We sent our inspector Jeff Yentzer out to this property to see the structure in need of repair and to see how many Carbon Armor straps were needed and what type of drainage system would work best with the layout and foundation. Jeff provided an estimate for a Brush coat which is a Cementitious Coating that protects the concrete from sulfate contaminated ground conditions,6 Carbon Armor Straps which are 10times stronger than steel, Waterguard around the perimeter of the garage, a Gravity Drain with Lawnscape and then our Brightwall panels.
This customer wanted to have a code-approved Egress Window Well installed in their home so the basement could be finished and used as extra living space.
We installed an Egress Rockwell System because it is by far the best egress window well system available on the market. We also installed a WellDuct window well drain to guarantee that the water in the window well will never flood into the basement.
This customer wanted to sell their home but needed to get it waterproofed first. We removed moldy paneling and replaced their inadequate sump with a SuperSump. We installed WaterGuard to control the water issues and installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls with inserted studs so the customers can replace his own panels.
This customer had a finished basement and started to notice cracks along the drywall, concerned this could be a major issue, they reached out to us to assess.
When arriving at the property, the drywall had already been removed and you could see a noticeable horizontal crack going through the foundation wall. Our solution for this was our Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization Straps.
The Carbon Armor system is 10x stronger than steel but flexible enough to form tightly against the basement wall. The straps are secured to the floor joist and is ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing walls
Customer had a finished basement with minimal natural light and asked that we come out to install an Egress Window for them. An Egress window is a large opening that is large enough to escape out of incase of emergencies and is also a way to allow in a lot of natural lighting.
We first had to do a dig out and cut through the poured foundation, once we had the opening for the window we then installed a 27 x 45 In-Swing Egress with an Egress well, ladder, metal grate and cover.
