A homeowner in Derwood, MD, was dealing with a serious foundation issue as their basement walls started bowing, risking significant structural damage. To resolve this, we installed the PowerBrace™ System, a reliable solution for foundation repair in Derwood, MD. This system involves placing durable, zinc-plated steel beams, customized to the basement's height, against the affected walls. The method effectively stabilizes the foundation, preventing further inward movement or wall failure, without requiring intrusive procedures. As shown in the transformation, the PowerBrace™ System provides long-term stability and peace of mind for homeowners facing similar challenges.
Sagging floors and unpleasant odors in a Derwood, MD home led the homeowner to seek our expertise. As shown in the photos, their initial attempt to use makeshift supports with 2x4s proved inadequate. Our team addressed this by implementing the SmartJack® System, effectively stabilizing and restoring the floor to its original level. By incorporating CleanSpace® for encapsulation and the SaniDry™ Sedona for humidity control, we transformed their crawl space into a durable, moisture-controlled environment. This not only improved structural integrity but also eliminated odors, securing the homeowner’s comfort and safety.
A homeowner in Glen Echo, MD, was concerned about sloping floors above their crawl space. Upon inspection, we discovered that the floors were being supported by wooden beams and 4x4s, which had deteriorated over time due to moisture in the crawl space. This compromised the structural integrity of the support system, leading to uneven floors. To resolve the issue, we installed a supplemental steel beam and SmartJacks to stabilize and lift the floors back to their original position. The result was a level, secure floor and a crawl space with a reliable support system. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and relieved to have a long-term solution in place.
The homeowner expressed concern about persistent dampness in their house, especially after discovering significant mold buildup in two recently cleaned ducts. Our technical advisor swiftly addressed the issue by recommending the installation of a vapor barrier system in the crawlspace and a Sani dry system. These solutions would effectively eliminate mold and prevent the recurrence of damp air, ensuring a safe and healthy home environment for the family.
