We install perimeter drain tile along the inside of your foundation footer to collect water before it comes up through the floor. The system directs everything to a sump basin so your basement stays dry even during heavy rain.
A reliable sump pump is critical in Cedar Rapids where the water table can rise fast. We install primary pumps with battery backup systems so you are covered even when the power goes out during storms.
Clay soil movement causes cracks in poured concrete and block walls. We inject epoxy or polyurethane to seal cracks permanently and stop water from seeping through your foundation.
For serious foundation problems, we excavate around the outside of your home, apply waterproof membrane, install drain tile, and backfill properly. This keeps water away from your walls before it ever gets inside.
We seal dirt crawl spaces with heavy vapor barriers, insulate walls, and add dehumidifiers to control moisture. This prevents mold, wood rot, and the musty smell that comes up through your floors.
Even a sealed basement can have humidity problems in our climate. We install commercial-grade dehumidifiers that keep humidity below 50 percent and run automatically so you do not have to think about it.
A basic interior drainage system with a sump pump typically runs between $4,500 and $8,000 depending on the size of your basement and how much concrete we need to remove. Foundation crack repair costs $400 to $1,200 per crack depending on length and whether it is active or stable. Full exterior waterproofing with excavation runs $10,000 to $20,000 or more for an average home because of the labor and equipment involved. Crawl space encapsulation with vapor barrier and dehumidifier usually costs $3,000 to $7,000. Prices go up if your lot has poor access, if we hit bedrock, or if your foundation needs structural repair beyond just waterproofing. Every job is different, so we give you a detailed written estimate after we see your property.
