Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation and Basement Waterproofing in Stone Mountain, GA

Measuring foundation settlement on your own isn’t easy or advised. For the most accurate results, we recommend calling a professional for an inspection and learning more about foundation repair in our guide to foundation repair. 

Our team uses a rotary laser, which is lined up with exterior brick or masonry. A remote control is pressed, and the laser moves across the home. If the house is settling, the laser will go out of line with the sinking wall. 

Condensation 

When warm, moist air from the outside comes into contact with your cold-water pipes or walls, condensation occurs. This results in water droplets, puddles, or wet spots appearing on your basement walls and floor.   

Groundwater 

The ground surrounding your home can easily get wet whenever it rains or snow melts. As water accumulates, it will have nowhere to go other than to seep through the cracks in your foundation and basement walls.   

Plumbing Leaks  

A leaking water pipe can inundate your basement with water. When this happens, your basement may start smelling due to rot.   

Failing Gutters 

When your gutters become damaged or clogged, water can overflow or leak out causing puddles to form around your foundation. This leads to water seeping into your basement walls through any openings or cracks. 

Though most crawl spaces are seldom used, a wet crawl space could mean problems for the floors above. It’s important to manage crawl space moisture levels to prevent rotting wood, mold growth, high humidity, pests, and other symptoms of a wet crawl space. Luckily, this is easy thanks to a number of crawl space repair and waterproofing solutions provided by AquaGuard Foundation Solutions.

There are many products on the market that you can use to repair concrete without the help of a professional. However, none of these are permanent solutions, as they do not address the core issue: the soil. Calling in a professional concrete repair contractor not only guarantees you have the work done correctly, but it can also save you time and money. Ensuring the job is done right the first time can save you from continually having to repair your sinking concrete.
