Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cracked and Leaking Foundation Repaired in Casey, IL
A foundation was unstable in Casey, IL, as it was bowing inward and cracking. The cracks were also leaking, causing additional problems. The support beams in the basement were also sagging. To solve all of these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the basement and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation.
Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona was installed. This dehumidification system will pull the moisture from the air, filter it, and release the dry air into the basement. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable, dry, and clean for years to come!
