New bathroom we renovated in a Wilmington, DE basement.
Here we have the installation of a top-of-the-line TripleSafe Sump system. The TripleSafe is capable of pumping over 6,000 gallons per hour and also operates on battery backup in case of power failure.
Pressure of soil pushing up against the foundation wall, Hydrostatic pressure, or Foundation Settlement are only a few reasons why a foundation wall could be bowing or cracking. Either way, you want to get this looked at as soon as you can so the issue doesn't continue and possibly worsen over time.
For this customer, we have done several projects for them, Egress install, waterproofing and now foundation repair. This repair required 4 Carbon Armor Strips and 10, 8' Power Braces.
The initial call for this property was basement flooring. They already had a waterproofing system and no active leaks, just wanted to get some flooring installed. When we arrived at the property ready to provide an estimate for flooring, the inspector he did notice a few issues. There was a horizontal crack going along one side of the block foundation, which left unattended for too long could turn in to a costly issue, the basement walls were showing mold growth and the current windows and window wells, had seen better days. The window wells were metal, rusting and filled with dirt and debris, now with a heavy rainfall, water could fill up in the well and then leak in through the windows, knowing this information, the customer agreed it was time to upgrade.
The upgrade included two Everlast Window Inserts and 3 Sun house wells with Dome covers.

The customer took the inspectors recommendations and not only upgraded the window and wells, but also wanted to move forward on the significant wall crack. To repair the wall and stop it from bowing or cracking any further, we installed our Carbon Armor Wall Stabilization Straps which, come with a 25year warranty against manufacturing defects and against further bowing.
