Move furnishings out of the area and pull back carpet/flooring.
Next, soak up and contain the water with towels, blankets, rags, anything you’ve got.
Then get the fans and heat going.
Take some notes to help you describe exactly what you see. Do you see any water? Is there any visible damage? Do you notice any odour or wall discolouration?
Whatever the problem, don’t worry. Our team can handle this for you.
We are a full-service foundation repair company that can take your project from start to finish including restoring walls/floors, regrading, landscaping, and concrete with options that work with your budget.
Many people believe that they require weeping tile when they are getting water in their basement.
Most homes built starting 1955 and beyond in Edmonton and surrounding area had weeping tile installed when the house was originally constructed.
There are generally other issues that allow the water to enter the basement. When we have the base of the foundation exposed, we check your weeping tile to ensure it’s doing the job properly.
Occasionally, we encounter weeping tile plugged with silt, sediment or roots. When this occurs, we’ll tell you what we found. We often see symptoms of plugged tile so it’s not a surprise.
The weeping tile on older homes have a back-flow valve that is plumbed into the sanitary sewer. Sump pumps replace that system.
We’ve seen hundreds of foundations continue to leak after only using an internal remedy. It’s our opinion that plugging a breached foundation from the inside is temporary.
Our philosophy is to get to the heart of the problem by digging out and exposing the issue from the external side of your basement.
We expose the crack, clean it out, apply high quality waterproofing product on the exterior of your foundation and install a barrier to protect the area that was just repaired. Be careful of contractors substituting a damp proofing product to save money.
Shield will conduct investigations and sampling, providing proper documentation and remediation solutions for mold and asbestos removal to ensure a healthy environment for you and your family.
If your foundation has deteriorated and failed completely, we’ll raise your house, remove the old foundation and pour a new one. Often, when we do this extra height is added.
When a house is originally built, the excavation is typically 3 to 4 feet wider than the structure. The back-fill is put in loosely and not compacted.
Over time, the ground shrinks and the excavation settles. This will happen to every home and needs to be addressed. We at Shield Foundation Repair can adjust the grade to ensure the water flows away from the house.
Call Shield. Based on our experience, there are signs and symptoms we can recognize that most people can’t. We enlist APEGA certified engineers and other industry experts to look for existing and potential problems.
There are several reasons foundations drop or settle. Typically, the area underneath the footings has compacted over time due to clay shrinking from lack of moisture. Shield Foundation Repair uses three different types of piles to underpin and support your foundation from further settling:
