Rebuilding of Crumbling Foundation Wall - Salem, OR

The concrete foundation wall on the front side of this home was crumbling and falling forward so severely, that the homeowners had to place sand bags in front of the wall to prevent it from falling completely out of place. This is a serious issue, and one that needed immediate repair. After researching to find the best Structural Repair Company in their area, they decided to call John's. They were impressed by our reviews as well as the fact that John's has been in business for over fifty years. Our Design Specialist arrived, and after inspecting the crumbling foundation wall, he put the homeowners minds at ease with an effective and permanent solution! He proposed repairing the wall by first removing all of the damaged parts, and then pouring a new concrete extension onto the remaining sound portion of the wall - returning complete strength and integrity to the foundation. The homeowners were very pleased with this solution, and gave us approval to begin the work. When our Structural Crew arrived, they began by removing all of the sand bags as well as the crumbling parts of the wall, leaving behind only the strong portions. Next, they attached a heavy-duty vapor barrier directly onto the original foundation wall, to ensure that no hydrostatic pressure would enter the new wall extension. In addition to the vapor barrier, we also attached rods of rebar directly onto the original wall, to firmly hold the new extension in place. To make certain that the new wall would be poured tightly against the original wall, we built our concrete forms using a technique of pressure. With the forms in place, we poured the new wall, allowed it to solidify, then removed the forms. The final step was scrubbing the new wall clean, for a nice finished appearance! The formerly crumbling foundation wall is strong once again, and these homeowners no longer have to worry about the possibility of the front of their home crashing down into the ground. The experts here at John's are always thrilled to restore safety and stability to family homes!

Salem, OR Crawlspace/Basement Combination Experiencing Water Build-up

Brightwall Basement Wall Systems, along with Sanidry Dehumidifier, Waterguard and a sump pump was installed in the basement, and CleanSpace was installed in the crawlspace. This will keep both areas dry and looking nice!

Soggy Crawl Space in North East Salem

This home in North East Salem had a crawl space full of water, causing the beams to sag and fail to hold up the foundation properly. This led to cracks in their inside walls. Installation of our Cleanspace encapsulation system and smart jacks helped their crawl space become a healthy, dry, and easy to work in environment.

Waterguard install in Salem, OR Basement

This basement had water seepage in multiple locations. It already had two sump pumps in place that were not functioning or placed properly. Because of this, the water was still able to leak into the basement. The solution? We installed the Waterguard basement drain system along the entire interior perimeter of the basement and replaced one of the sump pumps with our TripleSafe Sump pump. Since the TripleSafe is a powerful, top of the line pump, we only needed to install one of them. Now, the water will be channeled into the Waterguard and to the sump pump ensuring this home owner that water will never touch the basement floor again!
