Waterproofing
When there is stagnant water in your basement after a large rainfall, it is never good. If this water is not removed, it can prevent you from being able to store items in the area and even keep you from turning that space into another room. Excess moisture and humidity will eventually harbor mold and mildew which can be responsible for dangerous health problems. If you have standing water in the basement, you should get in touch with us so one of our experts can investigate the leaking and help implement a basement waterproofing solution which can stop water coming in and prevent unnecessary problems from happening. This can also prevent the growth of mold as well as make it so you can finally be able to turn the basement into viable storage space, a second family room, or even an extra bedroom. More Information

One of the other signs could be your doors or windows are difficult to open or close or even not moving when closing them. Foundation problems are commonplace in the Ottawa Lake area as the moisture content of the soil fluctuates during the year. The problems are also caused by inadequate compaction during the building of your home. Our experts can install a network of piers under your home which will shift the weight of the home to the piers and keep the home from sinking or settling in the future. More Information
Crawl Spaces
If you’ve got a crawl space, it is most likely a part of the home that you only go to when there is a problem. This is probably because they are generally poorly closed off and are frequently messy, grimy, and can have critters inhabiting them. Crawl spaces are notorious for having humidity issues that can cause problems with the floor joists and even enable mold to grow. Our team knows one of the best ways to prevent issues in crawl spaces is to encapsulate them and seal them off from the weather. This will control unnecessary moisture and humidity in addition to preventing unwanted pests from getting in. If your floors above the crawl space are sagging, we can install a series of jacks to lift and stabilize the floor joists and correct the sagging floor. To further control extra moisture, we can install a specialized crawl space dehumidifier to remove the excess humidity and prevent mold growth. More Information
