Installation of Rain Drain Line to End Water Damage to Foundation - Lebanon, OR

The right side of this home had settled, due to many years of a gutter downspout, pouring all collected rain water onto the affected side of the home. Our Design Specialist arrived, and kindly explained to the homeowner that the foundation of the home would need to be lifted back up, and the downspout would need to be tied into a Rain Drain Line. This solution would expel all collected rain water safely away from the home. The homeowner was excited to get these repairs scheduled! Our Structural Repair Crew arrived, and successfully lifted the settling foundation through the installation of 10 Steel Helical Piers. First, we attached 10 steel brackets directly onto the outside of the concrete foundation walls. Next, we hydraulically drilled the Piers through the brackets, deep into the earth, until the home was lifted back to its correct height. The Piers will remain permanently in place to prevent any further settling. With the foundation now secured, our Waterproofing Crew arrived, to tie the gutter downspout into an underground Rain Drain Line. For this, they first dug a narrow and shallow trench, from the downspout to a safe distance away from the home, they then buried the line with dirt. At the end of the drain line, they attached a LawnScape Outlet, ensuring that all gutter water would be evenly dispersed into the lawn. The foundation of this home is back to its correct and level height, and will be permanently supported by 10 Steel Helical Piers embedded deep into the weight bearing stratum of the earth. Additionally, the ground on the formerly settled portion of the home, will no longer be weak and water logged, thanks to the installation of the underground Rain Drain Line. All of these essential repairs were completed by the Structural and Waterproofing experts at John's, using components of the highest quality! This homeowner can now rest assured, knowing that she hired the right company to permanently restore strength and integrity to the entire structure of her home!
