Sagging Floor
This is a warning sign of a serious structural problem that will need to be taken care of immediately before the damage gets worse. The surface you walk on should be level, safe, and secure. Any dips or noticeable sinking are issues that point to a problem with the crawl space down below.
Crawl Space Problems
Whenever you don’t have the area beneath your home properly encapsulated (sealed) off from the outside environment, it can let in a lot of moisture and excessive humidity. When this happens, it’s only a matter of time before the moisture in the soil and in the air start to cause damage to wooden materials, including support beams, posts, and floor joists. Damage here is what will cause you to notice that something isn’t quite right when walking across the floor.
Crawl Space Stabilizer
St. Louis Basement Pros can install The PowerPost from Nash Distribution which will provide the strength and stability needed to raise the first floor of your home back to the level where it needs to be. Our techs will be able to determine how many posts are needed, and where they should be installed based on where the damage is located with the wooden materials.
Testimonials
Foundation Repair
The foundation repair staff was excellent, and they were very efficient hard workers. I am very pleased with the great finished product.
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.
Basement Waterproofing
We live in a house with a full basement that was built in 1915. The house has three full stories. We had noticed a new plaster crack in the second story and wanted to be sure the foundation was stable. The representative came, looked at the foundation and basement, and pointed out a few things we could do ourselves to keep the foundation area dryer. He also told us that the plaster crack was caused by settling from the weight of the house on the support beams in the basement (not basement walls). He explained what they could do to improve the support system in the basement and gave us a quote if we wanted to do the work, but was honest enough to tell us that the house was very stable in its present condition, which is what we really wanted to know.
