Expert Basement Repair

              Right now is the best time to consider scheduling foundation and stabilization  repairs... Beginning in late April the weather gives us guys in the trenches somewhat of a break. The ground starts to dry out. Coming and going through your yard doesn't tear up your lawn like it does when everything is wet and saturated. Your wall cracks have started to close up as much as they are ever going to this year because the hydrostatic pressure outside is much less in drier weather. When things start getting wet again the walls are going to start moving inward again...and perhaps become even worse. It's also easier to do this kind of work when you aren't freezing and you can come and go inside without losing all your heat! Adhesives and sealants and waterproofing products perform and install better when warm.

Prices are as low as they are ever going to be! Many vendors are struggling to keep their crews busy...and even to keep their doors open. ( especially the ones with high overhead ) You'll see the best prices that will ever be available...but not for much longer. Have you been putting off your basement repairs? A lot of people have, and I'll tell you why it's not a good idea. Everyone knows the economy is tough right now and we're all wondering what's going to happen. Well the fact is that things are going to be slow for a while. You might as well get used to it. One thing that isn't going to wait for the economy to turn around is your foundation!

Cracked walls and wet walls do not get better with time. The problems are not going to go away. They will continue to get worse and in turn be more costly to repair in the future. Wall cracks will grow wider over time causing more and more damage. Wet walls breed mold, mildew and nasty odors. Concrete block will rot and become brittle when subjected to years of water saturation. Summer is the absolute best time to do this type of repair.

The economy will come back...it always has and always will. When it does prices will go back up quickly, especially if oil prices increase as Fortress epoxy is a byproduct of oil. Prices will also soon be affected by the devestation in Japan as many of the products used in our industry are now shut down or diminished in manufacturing capacity. If you spend money on nothing else invest it in your home. You'll never go wrong making needed repairs that will prevent further damage and problems at the best prices that you'll likely never see again in the future.

This is what I'd do for my home if I needed to.  By the way, I'm closely and personally involved in every job we do.  Best wishes, jim.
