Before, the Fitzgeralds in Alexandria, were experiencing structural concerns beneath the deck that supported their sunroom. After a full inspection, we found the area needed additional support, but the tight crawlspace made access difficult and required sections of the deck boards to be carefully removed. Gustavo, our foreman, and his crew installed 8 SmartJacks along with 20 feet of supplemental beam to properly stabilize the structure. Now, the sunroom is safely supported and stabilized for years to come.
Homeowners in Alexandria, VA were experiencing water intrusion and hydrostatic pressure buildup in their basement. The hydrostatic pressure not only forced water through the block walls but also caused the walls to bow inward.
Our solution was to install a full-perimeter waterproofing system to relieve the hydrostatic pressure and direct groundwater to a sump pump for proper discharge. To address the structural concerns, we also installed five CarbonArmor® straps to stabilize the bowing wall and help prevent any further inward movement.
This home owner called our office to see if we could help preserve "the bones" of their 1875 Victorian farmhouse. Our expert system designer, Skylar, was sent to do a complete and free evaluation.
Skylar quickly helped find a solution and our superintendent Nick took a few crews over to the property to "forever" brace the foundation with our EverBrace wall restoration system. The home owner can now continue the renovations knowing the foundation is secure for many, many more years to come!
