Repairing a Settling Foundation in Pontoon Beach, IL

A foundation was settling in Pontoon Beach, IL, causing cracks to form by the back doors and causing them to not close properly. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Sump Pump Installation in Granite City, IL

Water was entering a basement in Granite City, IL, and the homeowners wanted a sump pump installed to remove this water. But first, the DryTrak System was installed. This water control system will lower the water table around the foundation, relieving hydrostatic pressure. It creates a permanent seal that will remove seepage from the floor-wall joint and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry all the time!

Thanks to this stylish addition, this window will remain beautiful and debris-free throughout the life of the home.
