Addressing the rotten structure required replacing all damaged wood and redirecting the rain leader away from the house, as it was the main cause of the damage. Additionally, we replaced the old, malodorous fiberglass insulation with new silver airboard insulation.
This project focused on replacing the existing window well to improve drainage and protect the foundation. The old materials were removed and properly disposed of. We cleared excess soil and debris to create six inches of space below the window and added clean stone to help water drain away effectively.
A new window well was built using treated lumber for strength and durability. A drainage mat was installed along the exterior to guide water away from the foundation, and the top edge was neatly finished with a mould strip. The area was then backfilled with the existing soil for a clean, secure finish.
These improvements help reduce the risk of water buildup around the window and provide long-term protection for the home.
-Rotten window wells were removed and rebuilt with new treated lumber.
-Redirect downspouts to catch basins to help keep as much water away from the house.
We cleaned the crawlspace, upgraded the insulation, and eliminated the damp environment
In this project, we worked on strengthening and leveling the floor structure. We carefully raised the floor joist using a steel beam and adjustable supports to make space for a new base. We then installed a protective layer and a solid treated wood base, securely anchored to the foundation. After that, new wall studs were added at regular intervals to ensure everything was properly supported and built to last.
