On this job we are installing an inside drain tile and connecting it to the 2nd sump pump they had already installed.

Water is coming up from the floor level and flooding the basement during heavy rains.

After removing the concrete we found a bad finish in the concrete wall (see pic w red markings) which is allowing water to flow in from the outside drain tile.

We plan to chisel out a chute from that area and route it into the inside drain tile.

Keep those window wells clean and covers on.

This happens over time but can cause water to pool in the wells and turn your basement window into a fish tank.

We are still playing catch-up but making some headway little by little.

Quite a few jobs knocked out this week, multiple egress wells replaced, several cracks waterproofed, ibeams installed for preventative bracing and more.

We install 50+ Egress Windows a year but rarely get asked about deleting one.

Here (in partnership with a Mason) we removed the well, waterproofed over the deleted window, tested the drain tile then backfilled with gravel to grade level.

The gravel was chose for two drains.
1.) to ensure no settling due to the overhang that would prevent us from tamping the dirt.
2.) homeowner plans to landscape with rock in that area once we finished.

Win/Win.

28’ waterproof job.
Dirt was super dense so the E20 was struggling to dig.

4th year in a row we have been in the top 3. We are very humbled to have soo much support from yall.

Thank you

Started a 3 wall dig, push, waterproof and sump pump job out of town today.

We are installing deadman anchors to pull this one out due to limitations inside preventing the use of our pushers.

This one has a natural spring under it, you can see water has risen in the trenches.

Inside Drain Tile job here:

This property has water that comes up from the underside of the basement floor at the wall during heavy rains.

Ricks Concrete Sawing came and cut the floor for us. We removed concrete, dug a trench, encased a drain tile in gravel, connected the tile to the sump pump then poured concrete over the top.

A deco drain was put against the wall to catch any water that may seep in from the walls.

The water will now get caught in the drain tile as it rises from underneath and flow to the sump pump to be discharged out.

Many many many trips up and down the stairs w chunks of concrete, buckets of sand/dirt, buckets of gravel then bags of concrete.

A little weekend project:

Dug the back wall to waterproof in preparations for a deck going on, decided we may as well continue down the side. Stopped at the gas meter due to a time crunch.

Will start back up at the gas meter and wrap around to do the front wall shortly.

Installed 9 Stabil-Loc Piers on this room addition. We had to fight some old concrete piers in several of the holes.

Windows are all working and the homeowner is happy.
