Foundation Repair & Crawl Space Repair Experts in Anchorage, AK

A homeowner reached out to us after finding water in their crawlspace and wanted to know if they would benefit from having a sump pump installed. We got them on the schedule with our System Design Specialist to find out for sure what was going on with their crawlspace. After going out to the home and meeting with the homeowners, the System Design Specialist crawled through the crawlspace to find the source of the water. When he was done, he agreed with the homeowners; they would definitely benefit from having a sump pump in their crawlspace. After gaining the approval of the homeowner, we sent out our foreman to install our SuperSump for the customer to collect any water trying to enter the crawlspace and pump it back outside of the home.

Have you noticed falling insulation in your crawlspace? We had a homeowner reach out to us with this exact issue and we were more than happy to get them on the schedule with our System Design Specialist to get them a forever solution. When the System Design Specialist got out and checked the crawlspace, he didn't only find falling insulation. He found that the crawlspace had more moisture than it should and would need protection from possible water damage. Upon finding this, he wrote up a proposal for the homeowners detailing his findings, the products he recommended, the price, and how the products would be installed. After gaining the approval of the homeowners, we sent our foreman out to install SilverGlo to insulate the crawlspace, a Sedona Dehumidifier to mitigate excessive moisture, and a SuperSump to pump out all the water the Sedona collects.

Mr. Slafka, Had an inspector came out to his home because of the big earthquake they had last year and it messed up. The whole house was unlevel. We quoted him for 14 piers which is a lot for a home.

Last week we received a call from Chuck, Chuck was very upset when we first spoke. He told us about how he was trying to sell his house and was not having any luck. Chuck said “I don’t understand it’s a four year old house in Anchorage, it shouldn't be hard to sell” so we started to ask questions. It turns out that every time a prospective buyer would send an inspector to examine the house the crawlspace wouldn’t pass. That’s why Chuck has called us!

Chuck told us about the standing water along the perimeter of the crawlspace and how the black vapor barrier had been ripped down. Thankfully during that first call we were able to set an appointment with Paul our System Design Specialist to visit Chuck.

Paul quickly put together a plan to remove all of the water from the crawl space and prevent this issue from ever coming back. First Paul wanted to install a Super Sump sump pump to remove the water from the space, but because the water was standing along the perimeter of the crawl space we also need to add SmartPipe to move that standing water the direction of the sump.

Now that the water was being removed from the space and diverted into the lawn we could move to step two. Isolate the house from the earth. This is when we use our product CleanSpace! Most vapor barriers are 6 mil polyethylene that can easily rip and get holes poked in it when you crawl on it, and that’s why we use CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner, similar to pool liner that can be fitted in your crawl space to completely seal off your home from the earth.

By the time we had finished with Chucks crawl space he was able to not only quickly sell the house but he was able to get more then the original asking price. Chuck called us with the great news and to thank Paul and the team for helping him out of this wet situation. 

Danny D. was very excited to move into his new home with his family in Anchorage. He had big plans to turn his basement into a “Man Cave”. Danny started with laying down carpet and painting the walls, six months later he had a pretty awesome "Man Cave"! 

There was only one issue; the carpet would always seem damp. He replaced the carpet twice in one year because the carpet would start to have a terrible moldy odor to it. During the winter the carpet would be so damp you would have to ware shoes to keep your socks from getting wet. Danny was so upset, he loved his new home and "Man Cave" but was embarrass to invite friends over due to the smell and damp carpet. "there’s gotta be a way to have carpet in my Man Cave" Danny said and Danny was right! 

 There is only one solution. A sub floor made entirely of products that are unaffected by water, water vapor, and mold. One word - plastic. ThermalDry Flooring Systems are the only plastic, all-inorganic sub flooring in the world. Water will not ruin them. Vapor won't go through then. Mold won't grow on them. Designed just for basements we knew this would be the fix Danny was looking for! 

After Paul our design specialist came out and gave Danny a FREE estimate and went over color options it was easy for Danny to pull the trigger! A few weeks later our installers came out and laid down the ThermalDry tiles.

Danny’s face just lit up with joy, knowing he wouldn’t have to worry about damp floors ever again. He invited all his buddies over and for the first time in a long time Danny was able to take off his shoes in his own Man Cave.
