Kevin recalls how our legacy as foundation specialists began: The business was started by my grandfather in 1954. My grandfather immigrated from Holland during the war. He worked for a number of different companies over the years. In 1954 he found himself laid off and looking for work. A neighbour had a wet basement and told my grandfather. He told him what had to be done and my grandfather wasn't working so he said he would do the job. He dug around that house by himself, the whole house. He did the whole job and fixed the neighbour's leaky basement.
Dampness or water in your basement means you've got a leak somewhere. It may be due to cracks in the foundation or a lack of a working weeping tile system which controls your water table. Homes in the 30's, 40's and 50's did not have weeping tile installed around the foundation. Weeping tile was not a technology available to home builders of that day. What we do is install weeping tile to move water away from the foundation. Once we install your weeping tile we will waterproof the exterior foundation walls.
Foundation crack repair is a part of maintaining your home. Maintenance is essential for both resale value (if you decide to move and for your comfort) and safety (while you're living in it). One of the ways to ensure your home is in good condition is to repair minor foundation cracks.
