While spring showers typically bring pretty flowers, this year it also brought some not so pretty issues for homeowners. Whether you experienced a leaking foundation or standing water, many endured some impact from this spring’s rain. This has left local homeowners looking into basement repairs and drainage solutions. Keep in mind that if you are experiencing issues with your foundation and believe you are in need of basement repairs, your first step is to contact a structural engineer. Their many years of education and expertise will get you heading in the right direction for a stable foundation. Check out the foundation project described below.
Foundation Repairs Project in Finneytown Ohio
This homeowner reached out to us to implement foundation repairs that were specified by their engineer. Per the specifications provided by Buyers Protection Group, Hughes Construction completed the following work on this Finneytown home.
- Installed 15 steel pilasters
- Installed one 3″ adjustable steel column on top of a new 12″x 12″ footer that was 4″ above garage floor
- Excavated along foundation and sealed walls with HLM 5000 and capped with dimple board to facilitate drainage
- Installed two new schedule 40 drain lines day-lighted to the street
Once the drainage system was completed, soil was replaced and compacted. Compacting the soil in lifts will help to minimize settlement.
