Joppa, MD Leading Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Crack Repair Experts

Recently, in Joppa, MD, we encountered a home that posed a rather common challenge but requiring our specialized touch. The homeowner was facing trouble with their finished basement showing some signs of mold, alongside the dreaded signs of water damage that demanded not just waterproofing, but restoration to its former glory. Understandably concerned about the health and integrity of their home, they reached out to us for a solution. Upon the initiation contact, our dedicated Customer Care team swiftly arranged for a home inspection. Our in-house System Design Specialist meticulously examined the area, diagnosing the root cause of the problem. With expertise and care, they laid out a waterproofing and restoration plan that promised not just to cure but also to prevent future uncertainties tied to water intrusion. Our rescue mission was then launched, led by a foreman and a team of skilled installers armed with three of our trusted products: the WaterGuard drainage channel system designed to cleverly capture wall and floor seam water leaks, the mighty TripleSafe Sump Pump, an unrivaled savior against flooding by efficiently pumping out water, and the SaniDry Sedona - the quietest yet most powerful dehumidifier on the market, creating a dry and healthy environment unrivaled for comfort. 

When a homeowner in Joppa, MD reached out to us with concern about their crawl space, they highlighted troubling issues: weakening floor joists suggesting structural challenges and signs indicating possible wood-damaging organism (WDO) activities. The highest worry on their list was around the stability provided by the compromised 2x8x16 sister joists and the unsupportive conditions exacerbated by their dirt and rock floor crawl space. They weren’t just seeking repairs; they needed assurance and a lasting fix. Having diagnosed the extent of damage and identified the specific needs of the home, a proposal utilizing our top-notch products combined with our expertise was laid on the homeowner’s table: SmartJack for solid support, CleanSpace for turning the crawl space into a dry, clean area, SilverGlo to ensure energy efficiency through insulation, and SaniDry Sedona to dehumidify and protect the space going forward. 

When a Joppa, MD resident reached out to us about their basement routinely flooding during heavy rainfalls due to an overwhelmed French drain system, we knew just how to help. Their big pain was the water table rising and no viable solution in place to effectively manage the excess water in their unfinished basement. Having thoroughly inspected the basement and diagnosed the root of the problem, we proposed the installation of our WaterGuard interior drainage system and the SuperSump sump pump system. This combination is designed specifically to intercept water as it enters the basement and safely expel it away from the home, ensuring the basement remains dry year-round. Our production team, consisting of a foreman and expert installers, applied their skills meticulously to fit both the WaterGuard and SuperSump systems.

We we first saw the foundation walls of this home in Joppa, MD, we were immidiatly concerned.  The walls had a long horizontal crack in the middle and was bowing inward over 2".  There was also some shifting going on at the bottom.  In addition to the foundation wall failure, there was also a serios water seepaage problems and lots of mold on th eold insulation behind the paneling.  

We started with removing the paneling and the moldy insulation. Then we installed 14 GeoLock wall anchors with full interior plates to stabilize the foundation wall.   Next was the waterproofing system.  We installed WaterGuard along the interior wall to guarantee that there woul dno longer be seepage.  We also upgraded the sump pump with a SuperSump system.  The ThermalWall vapour was also installed to prevent moisture from escaping into the basement. 

The customer also wanted the paneling to be replaced, a new electric heater installed, and the drop ceiling repaired.  It was a big job but the foundaton is repaired and we no longer have water and mold issues.  

This customer was finishing their basement but needed an egress prior to starting. We installed the beautiful Rockwell egress well on this home. Rockwell comes with a guarantee of 20 years against water seepage into the basement.
