Wall Support and Sump Pump Replacement in Overland Park, KS
This homeowner originally called us out for a free estimate regarding waterproofing solutions for his wet basement floor. When System Design Specialist Bobby Bartow discovered the foundation wall problem, he knew that he needed to refocus the homeowner on the more immediate issue. Bobby discovered that the previous company who had used carbon fiber tape to fix the concrete wall did not know that this product cannot properly support a concrete wall. After explaining this problem to the homeowner, the homeowner was determined to have this problem solved the right way so that he would no longer need to worry about his wall he thought was stable.
Bobby called our installation team to work on installing PowerBraces that will stabilize the wall and even move it back to its original position over time. While this installation was happening, Bobby knew that the homeowner was still wanting some waterproofing solutions so that his basement was not wet, yet the homeowner still wanted to stay within a budget that included the PowerBraces; Bobby talked to the homeowner and to the crew to work on installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to ensure that water would be pumped out of the basement regardless of the situation.
