See below for some of our common in-house/building services.
Protect your home or building by managing water seepage or moisture intrusion
Common interior basement waterproofing services help prevent mold and mildew, improve air quality, protect belongings from water damage, and safeguard your home or building from structural damage. A dry basement also provides dry storage and increases usable indoor space.
Before
Interior Drain Tile
Interior drain tile systems are installed under your basement floor around the perimeter to collect groundwater and prevent flooding by managing hydrostatic pressure. This involves digging a perimeter trench filled with pipe and stone that collects and diverts water to a sump pump system.
After
Beams & Basement Wall Support
Installing pilasters prevents severe foundation failure. We use steel I-beams placed vertically against bowing or leaning walls to stabilize and stop further inward movement. The support is installed on the foundation and secured with steel plates to the joists above.
We use jack posts to level and prevent further sagging of floor beams or joists. Adjustable steel vertical columns set on bearing pads distribute the weight across the floor and are secured at the top with a steel plate.
Before
Wall Cracks
Basement wall crack repair stops water infiltration, prevents structural failure, and avoids mold, maintaining property value. If left unresolved, ignoring cracks can cause structural damage and lead to more expensive repairs.
After
Sump Pump Installation
Installing a sump pump system helps prevent basement flooding by removing water via interior drain tile, which is diverted to the sump pump basin. The pump moves water up and out to the exterior, either to a splash block or exterior drainage, away from your home’s foundation.
Capped Floor Drain
Time of Sale Inspection
A wet basement can be a deal breaker for a home sale. Many towns require a time-of-sale inspection to prevent inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the sanitary sewer system. We can cap floor drains, eliminate the connection of the storm sewer from the sanitary sewer to satisfy town requirements for sale.
Beyond a typical home inspection, PJK can identify and repair basement issues that a typical inspector may overlook.
