Century Masonry

We arrived to 5" of water on the floor but when we left it was completely dry and with our work it will remain dry! We installed a SuperSump and 60' of FlowGuard. The combination of these two products ensures that any water that tries to get into the basement will be drained and pumped outside. To make sure the moisture in the air was under control as well, we also installed a SaniDry XP in an adjacent room.

After:

As you could see in the before pictures, we manipulated the wall as far back as we could (approximately 3 1/2"). Because of how violent a break this wall experienced, we had to excavate the foundation. We then opened the slab and installed a footing with rebar extending up the full height of the new wall. These areas were filled solid with concrete.

We also sprayed a waterproof membrane with a drainage matting and footing drain to reduce static pressure on the foundation before backfill.

Installing a new wall here was the best approach for this particular project. Needless to say, our homeowner is now comfortable utilizing this valuable area of the property.

Before:

We were called in to inspect a failing foundation.......

These pictures are quite a statement. This wall was an extreme example!

This project was a concern because of insects (cave crickets), water, humidity, mold, cold and unsightliness.

We addressed all of these issues. In the basement side of this building we installed a new SuperSump with an UltraSump and new discharge line. We also created an opening between the basement and crawl space to allow airflow for the SaniDry XP.

On the crawl space side, we had a new door installed, closed up the existing window and a couple of miscellaneous openings. It's hard to see but several joists required "sistering " due to moisture. We also installed 2 new lally columns with footings. All of this was the encapsulated with CleanSpace. The entire rim joist was spray foam insulated.

 For this project, you can see what the crawl space looked like before we came in to do the job, and what it looked like after. We installed SilverGlo, drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner and spray foam insulation. Transformations like this is why we, at Century Masonry and Waterproofing wake up every morning. We want to be able to change the way you think about your crawl space. No more dirty, wet, energy inefficient crawl spaces. You can see how we were able to turn this space into a perfectionists' dream crawl space.

This homeowner asked us to remove and patch over an old, leaky window in the basement. Here are some before and after pictures.

Here is a before and after of a WaterGuard system we did in Blairstown NJ. In the before picture if you look at the floor joint you can see dampness and a water stain, after we get done the homeowner won't have to worry about that anymore!

This homeowner insisted on a concrete floor in the crawl space. We poured a new footing/floor and built off of it. This job had SilverGlo installed on the walls and CleanSpace under the slab and tied into the SilverGlo. We installed a few yards of gravel under the liner to create the proper grade.

On this project we installed concrete blocks in 2 windows that were leaking, DrainTile, CleanSpace wall and a TripleSafe with 1 pump and an UltraSump. This was a project we looked at several years ago but because of very little heavy precipitation the customer waited and called us in years later to do the job!

This project was for a previous customer. We worked with them on two of their other homes, needless to say...we liked them and I guess they liked us too!

   The garage here was being pushed in, as you can see in the pictures, approximately 3 1/2" at one point. It was also taking in water. After discussing a plan of attack, we started this project. First, we excavated the foundation and then manipulated the wall back as far as possible. We had to prevent the sheering from reoccurring and stabilize the foundation. While we were at it, we waterproofed the foundation and blocked in a couple of windows.

   Our homeowner now has a functioning foundation/garage that can be used as a shop for storage or to park cars.

This was a very simple project. The crawl space had a functioning liner. It was not our product, but it was doing what needed to be done - keeping humidity down. The new homeowner wanted to add in our SilverGlo insulation panels and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. They did this to make their existing system operate better. We were happy to oblige!
