Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Haddonfield, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Haddonfield, NJ noticed troubling foundation cracks forming in their basement. The cracks varied in type: horizontal, step, and vertical, each indicating different kinds of stress on the walls. Although there wasn’t a significant water issue at the time, the homeowner was worried about what could happen if the cracks spread or if water intrusion developed later on. Foundation cracks, if left untreated, can compromise the structural stability of a home and eventually lead to costly repairs. The homeowner needed a solution that addressed both the structural concerns and potential waterproofing needs.
Solution
Our team designed a comprehensive repair plan. We began by installing our WaterGuard drainage system along the basement’s interior perimeter, ensuring that any future water seepage would be collected and directed away. To reinforce the basement wall and prevent further movement or bowing, we installed a system of PowerBraces, which can even be adjusted over time to help straighten walls. For maximum waterproofing protection, we added a TripleSafe sump pump system, providing three levels of pumping reliability. Finally, we installed a window well duct, ensuring that rainwater near the basement windows would be properly channeled into the drainage system instead of entering the home. The combination of structural stabilization and proactive waterproofing gave the homeowner complete peace of mind!
