Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing, Cracked, and Leaking Foundation Repaired in Swansea, IL Basement
A foundation in Swansea, IL was settling, causing it to bow inward. Cracks were also starting to form, some leaking water. To solve the foundation issues, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation walls, and eliminate any further movement. This will reverse the effects of wall failure, and straighten them back to their original position. the cracks will also be closed to prevent leakage. Next, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement 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. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. These discharge lines will allow water to escape if the pipes freeze over or become blocked for any reason. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the downspout to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. This basement will remain stable, dry, and clean for years to come thanks to these systems!
