Grading Problems
This is a common structural problem that is caused from excessive hydrostatic pressure in the soil surrounding the home. This can occur whenever poor soil conditions exist around the foundation, and the earth swells up whenever it rains, or when there is melting snow on the property. This expansive soil puts a lot of pressure on basement walls (hydrostatic), and it will eventually prove to be too much for the wall to handle and it will begin to lean into the home. Additionally, you may notice the appearance of wall cracks next to the leaning structure.
Delaying repair work for the problem will likely only result in more bowing or leaning of the structure, or the wall could eventually collapse in on itself from the weight of the earth and the home above.
Yard Drainage
For proper yard drainage, we recommend having a reliable system like the NDS EZ Flow installed. The EZ Flow is a gravel free french drain system that is easy to install, and effective in diverting water away from your home.

Basement waterproofing
I own a 100 year old 2 family in St Louis city and the basement leaked a bunch when it rained. After getting 5 estimates and talking to several numbers we decided to use you for the great references, quality reputation and non pushy sales guy.
The end result is we were quite pleased with the work and the pricing.
I’ll suggest your company to any friends or neighbors who experience water problems in their basement.
Cheers
Foundation Repair
We had them come out and perform foundation repair to fix some issues we were having. They also added some downspout extensions to prevent many of the water issues we may have.
