This customer had a finished basement that he wanted to turn into an extra living space. Before doing so, he knew he needed an Egress window and reached out to our company for help.
We came out and installed a 48x48 Slider Egress window that will allow a ton of natural light to shine in to the basement, along with the Egress window we installed our Rockwell and Rockwell cover. In case of an emergency, the Egress window and Rockwell will allow a safe and quick exit from the basement.
When the homeowner in Toughkenamon, PA, reached out to us, their basement faced a recurring problem each time it rained. Water flooded the basement, overwhelming the existing sump pump and French drain system. To address these issues, our team proposed installing the WaterGuard drainage system complemented by CleanSpace wall system. The WaterGuard system effectively prevents water buildup by channeling it away before it seeps into the basement. Its design allows it to rest discreetly under the basement floor, collecting water via inlet holes and steering it toward the sump pump. This solution curtails any clogs, unlike traditional French drains which often block due to accumulated soil. Next, our production team implemented CleanSpace along the walls, ensuring the area remained dry and resistant to excessive moisture.
This heavy retaining wall in Downington, PA was bowing and tipping over, and we knew that the GeoLock Wall Anchors were the best solution for the problem. When the GeoLock system is installed, a hole is drilled into the bowing wall in predetermined intervals, depending on the number of anchors needed. One anchor plate is then attached to the interior and exterior sides of the wall, lining up with the predrilled hole, and one end of a 9-foot galvanized threaded rod is then inserted through the hole and anchor plates until the rod protrudes slightly out of the interior wall. An anchor bolt is then screwed onto that protruding end. The other end of the rod attaches to a heavy-duty earth anchor, which gets embedded into firm, stable soil away from the foundation. Once everything is in place, the anchor bolt is tightened, and the reverse pressure pulls the wall back toward its original position. At this point, the wall is stabilized and secure and no further adjustments are necessary. However, gradual tightening of the anchor bolt will continue to adjust the wall and over time, may even straighten it completely. This home in Elkton needed 10 anchors to repair the wall, and we were able to straighten it completely in one day. The GeoLock wall anchors are guaranteed for a period of 25 years.
We were initially called out to this property for basement waterproofing and while our inspector was out, they requested an estimate for an Egress as well. The customer currently had a standard basement window but wanted an Egress to go in its place.
We installed a 27" x 45" In-Swing Egress Window with a 46" Metal Boman-Kemp Well and Boman Kemp Cover.
Over time, the homeowner in Downingtown, PA, observed cracks and bowing in the walls of their garage, raising concerns about potential structural deterioration. After our team conducted a thorough inspection of the area, they assessed the cause of the weakened walls and determined the most effective repair solution. Our crew then installed the ultra-stabilizing PowerBrace Wall Repair System, successfully restoring the bowing and cracked wall to its original straightened position. The garage wall is now fully reinforced, providing the homeowner with complete peace of mind.
