How much time are you spending indoors this winter? Probably a lot as the temperature drops, the sun goes down sooner, and family or friends come to visit for the holidays. During time spent inside, you may notice some issues in your basement, like moisture or cracks in the walls. If you notice these kinds of issues, you should continue reading to learn all the signs of damage and how the Mr. Level team can help with basement services.
Signs of Basement Damage
Sometimes basement damage is readily visible, and other times it may be less perceptible. Homeowners should look for these signs of damage in the basements:
- Cracks in basement walls or floors
- Bowing walls
- Drips running down walls or from windowsills
- Condensation on walls
- Water pooling on the floor
- Gaps where the wall and floor meet
- Lifting flooring or baseboards pulling away
Basement Services to Mitigate Basement Damage
Damage in your basement is not the end of the world. In fact, there are multiple solutions that can help mitigate the damage they experience. Here at Mr. Level, we offer:
Basement Waterproofing:
Basement waterproofing is a timely, no excavation process. Our team uses state of the art polyurethane injection, a method that seals your basement walls from the outside, all while stabilizing the soils surrounding your basement. Here is how it works:
- Both your basement and the soils surrounding your basement are inspected. These inspections provide our contractors with a more complete picture of where polyurethane needs to be injected.
- After a thorough inspection, an injection plan is made. Holes will be drilled into your basement walls to give our team access to the soil behind the wall.
- Through the holes, polyurethane is injected in its liquid form. The liquid moves through into the soil, infiltrating weak zones, stabilizing soils, and sealing the walls of your basement.
- After injections, the holes are filled and a final inspection is conducted to ensure the efficacy of the repair.
This method of repair, unlike the alternatives, will not tear up your landscaping or yard. Additionally, it cures quickly, with most just being completed in less than a day.
Basement Wall Repair:
For bowing or cracked basement walls, our basement wall repair service with carbon fiber reinforcement can strengthen them. It works by bonding directly to the basement wall to stop inward movement, no excavation required! The carbon fiber is stronger than steel and works well to reinforce basement walls under pressure from surrounding soils.
