Basements and crawl spaces aren’t waterproof on their own. This is especially the case with older buildings that were built a long time ago to comply with building codes that are now outdated when it comes to foundation ventilation. The task of waterproofing the basement and crawl space may be overwhelming for an ordinary homeowner. That’s why it may be best to hire experts from Atlanta, GA to deal with this issue for you.
The dry climate that’s specific to the Atlanta area is the main cause of structural problems for local homeowners. As the soil dries out during the hot summers, it tends to shrink and when it does, it leaves holes beneath the home. This in turn makes the home less stable, causing it to shift and to sink.
Since the weight of the home isn’t distributed evenly anymore once it shifts, the foundation and the walls will start to crack. This is a good sign for the homeowner that they need to take action since the home may collapse or get seriously damaged in the process.

It’s useful for a homeowner to be in contact with neighbors in their area and to be aware of the foundation issues they are facing. If foundation issues are happening in the homes around you, chances are that your soil has eroded as well and you’ll soon deal with the same problem. There’s little a homeowner can do about the soil and climate they’ve been dealt, but they can prepare and be vigilant about the state of their home.
Basement walls are mostly made out of concrete. It seems like a sturdy and strong material, but it’s permeable and water can easily get through it. Even those homes with finished basements aren’t protected from the dampness that gets into the basement. That’s why it’s important to waterproof your basement completely and ward off moisture. Taking care of your foundation goes a long way in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta, GA is rather humid and basements tend to get stuffy if there’s no dehumidifier installed to remove the excess moisture from the air. These also reduce mold growth and make the basement easier to heat and cool, thus reducing electricity consumption.
Foundation Repair in Atlanta, GA

Foundation problems are common in Atlanta, GA and therefore numerous solutions are commonly used to fix them. Most homeowners experience issues with bowing walls and foundation settling. It’s important to diagnose the problem and choose a solution that’s best suited to it. That’s something that should be done by an experienced and knowledgeable foundation repair team. It’s best if a foundation is only repaired once, providing a long-term solution to the settlement issue.
Our team at Atlanta, GA offers the best solution for repair solution since we fix the underlying cause of the problem together with the structural issues themselves. This is done by installing helical piers and push piers that will provide the support needed to hold the structure of your home. Homes tend to settle due to problems with the soil beneath them. On the other hand, soil tends to erode over time. Our piers transfer the weight of a home to the stable soil beneath it. That way, the house can settle no longer since it’s resting on sturdy ground.
A key sign of foundation settlement are sagging floors. A homeowner can tell that the floors of his or her home are sagging by noticing whether or not they bounce when you step on them. It’s also possible to notice the gaps between the floor and the bottom of the walls within the house. It’s what happens when the floor joists are failing. This can be fixed by installing support jacks that will stabilize the floor and make it even.
Concrete Lifting Repair in Atlanta, GA
Concrete structures such as sidewalk slabs and steps can experience structural problems after they’ve been placed. This can happen years after construction. If the soil beneath the slab starts to erode, the concrete slabs start to sink and crack in the process. There’s no way to prevent this problem, but there are ways to repair it.
Our team uses PolyRenewal injections to lift the concrete. That’s an innovative solution and it’s proven to be more sustainable and less invasive than the alternative. The process starts with drilling small holes in the concrete itself. The foam is then injected into those holes and lifts the concrete. What makes this solution superior to all the others is that it fills the holes in the soil beneath the slab, thus lifting it.
This is also an eco-friendly option since it won’t interact with the soil and damage it in the process. The installation itself is also easy and it takes only an hour or so for the foam to harden and the concrete to be usable once again.

FAQs
About Waterproofing, Foundation Repair & Crawl Spaces in Atlanta
Mold and mildew are serious health risks and they should be treated as such. They can affect your health and especially respiratory organs if you’re subjected to them for a long time. This is especially a concern for those with asthma or other respiratory problems. It’s best to make sure that your home is mold-free even if you’re otherwise healthy.
This is done by removing the conditions that make it possible for mold to appear in the first place. That’s usually dampness and darkness since that’s where mold usually grows. Basements are therefore an especially attractive part of your property for these fungi.
Make sure that the basement is properly waterproofed and that excess moisture is removed from it and you won’t have issues with mold ever again.
The first thing to do when you notice cracks and sinking concrete slabs in your driveway is to do what you can to not make matters worse. That means that you shouldn’t put extra pressure on the driveway by parking on it or by waking over it more than you have to. That should give you plenty of time to repair the problem before the slab sinks further.
It’s also important to figure out what’s causing the cracks. If it’s an issue with the concrete itself, there’s little you can do but to replace it altogether. If the sinking and cracking are caused by a structural problem, you should contact experts to lift it and repair the soil beneath it.
There are a few ways to do so, but using PolyRenewal injections is proven to be the most effective in the long run and the least disruptive to your home.
PolyRenewal foam injections are an innovative method for lifting concrete slabs that are starting to sink. It can be used on driveways, patios, or around a pool since all of these areas often have problems with sinking due to how they are affected by water. There are other methods out there but this one is the most convenient for most homeowners.
PolyRenewal injections aren’t that invasive and they only require small holes to be drilled in order to inject the foam and lift the concrete slab. The devices used to do that are small and portable and that means that you can use them in closed and tight spaces within your yard.
Most importantly, PolyRenewal is a long-term solution that will keep the concrete even without you having to do any further repairs in the future and that’s both convenient and less expensive in the long run. That’s because it fixes the underlying cause of the issue rather than just raising the concrete.
Push piers are used to stabilize your home once it starts shifting or sinking. This often happens, unevenly causing the home to sink to one side and piers are driven below the home to level and prevent it from sinking and getting damaged further.
It’s often wrongly believed that it’s the piers that keep the home up. In fact, the piers are used to transfer the weight of the home to the sturdy ground below and it’s that soil that actually supports your home after the piers are installed. Push piers are driven into the soil and the weight of the home itself presents a counterbalance holding the structure up.
It’s an extremely dangerous and delicate procedure that should be left to those who have experience in the field and know how to choose the right piers for your home as well as install them safely.
Waterproofing a basement may prove to be a long-term solution to many health and safety issues a homeowner can face. It will make the basement dry and thus prevent mold from growing. It also shields you from rot and other damage caused by the humidity.
The best way to waterproof a basement is to install a vapor barrier that will shield it from humidity. The barrier is applied to the wall directly and is relatively easy to install. It’s also a long-term solution that will last for decades.
Sometimes, it may also be useful to install a drain that will collect the humidity that gets into the home and directs it to the sump pump system. That way, the water is removed from the home and moved where it can’t cause damage.
A lot of the time, homeowners delay repairs and don’t address the problems their home is facing as fast as they should. Sometimes, that’s because they feel the repairs are too expensive and sometimes the problems seem to be minor at first. It’s a mistake to wait too long to repair your home.
Structural problems tend to get worse over time and they often get worse quickly. Waiting to fix them often means that you’ll have to go through much more expensive and more invasive repairs. By addressing the issue as soon as it appears, you’ll end up saving a lot of money in the long run.
It’s also a mistake to try to fix the structural problems on your own. They are too complex and require too much machinery and materials that a homeowner can’t get to. Such repairs are best left to the experts.
