This foundation repair project in Somerdale NJ was a pretty big deal! Here's a time lapse of a house that was unlivable until we fixed it with a new sump pump, a full perimeter system, a vapor barrier, and several I-beams to stabilize the foundation. The basement looks really good now!

We removed the old sump pump. The floor was covered in water, so the pump wasn't working. Our TripleSafe sump pump was much more powerful. We jack-hammered around the basement for a new perimeter system. Observe how wet the floor is. When we installed WaterGuard (our perimeter system), it fixed the water issue on the floor. Our inspection ports prevent clogging unlike a french drain system. Afterwards, we strengthened the joists for PowerBraces. We cut these PowerBraces to size for each individual basement. We put CleanSpace underneath the PowerBraces as a vapor barrier for the walls. All four walls had cracks and bowing so we needed a lot of PowerBraces despite it being a small basement. It was scary! PowerBraces hold bowing walls in place and stop them from moving- permanently while the CleanSpace works with the WaterGuard to direct water toward the sump pump.
