Reliable Basement Waterproofing Company Serving Lethbridge, AB

They were experiencing issues with their doors opening and closing and their stairwell walls moving into the ceiling above. Our Appointment Center arranged for one of our knowledgeable System Design Specialists to visit the home. During their FREE, no obligation appointment, our System Design Specialist found the basement floor was heaving, which was causing cracks in the floor to appear and there were horizontal cracks in the foundation.

All of these findings lead us to conclude the home was, in fact, settling. After more investigation, measurements, engineering and permits our Production team was ready to go to work! They installed a total of 32 Push Piers, a full waterproofing system, which included a SuperSump® sump pump system, a new basement floor and more.

The installation went perfectly! Our crew was able to lift the home up to FOUR INCHES in some areas and most importantly stabilize the entire home to ensure the homeowners don’t have to worry about their home settling again. We’d like to send a big thank you to the homeowners for taking such great care of the crew while they were on site, they are still talking about the baking they enjoyed almost daily!

When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt in at the top. Rebuilding damaged walls may seem like the obvious (and expensive) answer, but even new walls will fail if the soil conditions are not changed.
