Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska Before & After Photos

This crawl space was crumbling due to moisture and wood rot in the support beams. To fix the problem for good, we waterproofed the crawl space with our heavy, 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner, permanently separating the earth from the home. We then fortified our encapsulation with SilverGlo, R-11 graphite-infused foam panel insulation that reflects heat back into the home. Lastly, to support the weakened support beans, we installed our SmartJack system, which is proven to support loads far greater than common floor columns and can even lift sloping floors back to level. 

To keep their basement dry and help prevent microbial growth, we built a basement waterproofing system with our SuperSump Plus, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace Wall System. Combined, wall seepage and groundwater is drained directly into the sump pump, which can remove up to 2,240 gallons of water per hour — all while keeping the home and the drywall safe and dry. 

This homeowner wanted to replace their window well with a more attractive well that also had a cover. We replaced it with a Rockwell© Window Well, which is a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. It's UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stands up to extreme temperatures. While not intended for continual foot traffic, our polycarbonate cover can even hold up to 500 lbs of weight, preventing people from accidentally falling in the well. 

To fix their basement leak, we installed a full-perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to capture water at the entry point of the basement, and a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove up to 6,400 gallons of water per hour. 

The supports in this crawl space were beginning to weaken, causing the floor to sag and cracks forming in the walls upstairs. We immediately stabilized it with our SmartJack system, which is proven to support loads far greater than common crawl space columns, and has an adjustable design to provide a custom fit for every crawl space.
