Water Management
Water management focuses on controlling how water moves around and away from a structure to prevent moisture buildup and foundation stress. Properly designed systems collect, redirect, and discharge water before it can create hydrostatic pressure or infiltrate below-grade areas, working alongside waterproofing systems to provide complete protection.
Our water management solutions are tailored to site conditions, soil characteristics, and building design, incorporating proven drainage and discharge components for reliable performance. By managing water effectively at the foundation level, we help protect structural integrity, extend system lifespan, and reduce the risk of long-term water damage.

French Drain
Interior French drains are a proven waterproofing solution designed to manage groundwater and prevent basement flooding by collecting and redirecting water before it reaches finished spaces. Installed along the perimeter of the basement floor, these systems consist of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that captures water seeping through walls or up from beneath the foundation, channeling it to a sump pump for safe discharge away from the home. Interior French drains are discreet, effective in high water table conditions, and ideal for controlling hydrostatic pressure, helping keep basements dry, protect structural integrity, and reduce the risk of mold and moisture damage.
Structural Foundation Repairs
Structural foundation repairs involve diagnosing and correcting damage to a building’s load-bearing elements to restore stability and safety. These repairs address issues such as settlement, bowed or cracked walls, uneven floors, or shifting foundations caused by soil movement, water intrusion, poor drainage, or aging. Techniques can include installing helical piers or steel push piers to stabilize and lift settled foundations, reinforcing or straightening walls with anchors or beams, underpinning to strengthen footings, and repairing or replacing compromised concrete. Proper structural foundation repair not only corrects visible damage but also prevents further movement, preserves the building’s integrity, and helps protect the property’s value.
Egress Windows
An egress window is a specially designed window installed in basements or sleeping areas to provide a safe and accessible means of escape in case of emergencies, such as a fire. These windows meet specific building code requirements for size, height, and operability to ensure occupants can easily exit and rescuers can enter if needed. Often larger than typical basement windows, egress windows are paired with a well or grate when below grade to keep soil and water away from the opening while maintaining access and drainage. Proper installation enhances safety, increases natural light and ventilation, and helps bring a basement space into compliance with residential building codes.
Foundation Cracks
Foundation crack injections are a targeted repair method used to seal and waterproof cracks in concrete foundations, preventing water intrusion and further structural damage. This process involves injecting specialized materials such as epoxy or polyurethane into cracks, which expand or bond to the concrete to create a durable, watertight seal. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, crack injections restore the integrity of foundation walls, stop active leaks, and help protect against moisture-related issues like mold growth, corrosion, and long-term deterioration.
