1. Site Cleanup commences
with the removal of debris from a home's crawlspace and the
installation of "Total Lighting" (a network of keyless lamp
fixtures strategically placed for accessibility and
illumination). A clean crawlspace will
prove beneficial for annual pest control specialists
and other trades professionals providing routine maintenance,
as well as, allowing homeowners the benefit of observing their
home's crawlspace...
2. Water Removal
addresses your home's exterior site topography and the
subterranean migratory water within a home's
crawlspace. Of primary concern is migratory
water; or, moist environments within the home's crawlspace.
These moist soils promote mold and mildew of the environment in
which most HVAC system's ducts are installed. Bacteria,
sporadic activity and moisture enters the distribution duct
system typically along these "return" ducts within the crawlspace
and is introduced into the supply air stream; and ultimately
carried into your home. Beyond the concern for negative air
quality, there are also the negative humidity issues of moist
saturated air causing damage to supporting structural members
(joists & girders) ... not mentioning you furniture, floor
coverings and elevated operational costs of air conditioning
systems for moisture removal...
3. Structural Failure can
range from the vast to the simplest forms of movement and/or
fatigue. People commonly think of "settling" being
typical and "just one of those things that occurs." When in
reality, it is an element of failure due to the specific
geographic location (soils composition), type and design of
building construction (traverse or concentrated focal loading),
migratory subterranean water and high humidity levels within the
crawlspace ... all of which are completely correctable
and resolvable.
4. Costs
are in the forefront of everyone's mind with
any project. Waterproofing services are no different and we
realize that a homeowner would not seek our assistance if
they truly were not in need. Typically, we find that by the
time a potential client seeks our services they have
previously sought and experienced a number of failed attempts of
the "Quick Fix" ... each of which were costly projects and huge
undertakings. Regarding large whole house projects, we use
the caveat of dialogue often times in saying that ... "This
will be a costly undertaking; and when done correctly,
you will see little to no visual architectural
enhancements for what have
completed."
5. Accomplishments /
Goals ... When completed, there will be no marble
flooring, no granite counter tops, no inlaid hardwoods, nor
any increased square footage of your
home. However, your home's structure and
health will be near perfect with respect to the previous
negative effects associated with water impact. The
structural longevity and financial security of your greatest
investment, your family's home, will both be protected. Your
completed drainage system will have access openings throughout its
length so as to provide for visual inspections; and should the
system have need, openings too accommodate servicing ...
with an end result, of confidently knowing that you have finally
protected your home. We will utilize our tried &
true "means & methods" of proven construction
practices so as to be "Low Impact" to your living
accommodations, as well as, your home's general site (and your
neighbor's.)
We hope that this brief introduction has answered a
few of your questions and possibly caused enough pique of
your curiosity to further delve into finding out more of
"what we do" and "why we do it." Each site is an
individually and specifically engineered project,
tailored for each address.
