Pervious Concrete
This problem is sometimes also referred to as “porous” or “honeycomb” concrete. It is a structural issue that can be seen on both newer and older homes. It is typically a result of contractors using poor building materials or techniques, or from “bad” concrete mixtures that are not the proper strength. As the material ages, it becomes soft and starts to crumble and become very brittle in certain spots.
Some contractors feel as if the best way to take care of the problem is to tear the wall out and start over. However, this can be a very expensive, drawn-out, frustrating process that isn’t really necessary considering the improvements over the years in the repair industry.
Exterior Waterproofing
Basement Problems
To take care of the problem, St. Louis Basement Pros can install an exterior waterproofing membrane over the damaged area of concrete on the outside of your home. The membrane has tiny dimples in it that will allow water to pass through and into a drain system which will eventually direct the water into a sump pump and out of the home.
Testimonials
Sump Pump
They were reliable, communicative, and accessible. We were leaving the day they started the sump pump installation job. They arrived on time and got right to work. The guys were polite and professional, explained exactly what they’d be doing. We left town and the owner called to let me know they had finished. When we returned, the basement was finished and all materials were cleaned up. It honestly looked more clean than when I had left. We had one issue with a drain at the basement door. It wasn’t properly draining into the sump system. I called and within 24 hours, they were out to connect the drain to the sewer line instead. Again, they were professional and worked quickly. I’ve had no problems since and I love the dry basement! I would highly recommend this company. Ryan and his team really took care of us.
