For homeowners, a wet basement is a problem that has many side effects that can be detrimental to the general structural integrity of the house. When a basement is wet or damp, it becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew, not to mention that even a little wetness could be an indicator of something larger going on like a sump pump failure, leaking pipes, or wet soil around the house. That's why it's important to get problems like that seen by professionals as soon as possible. 

The best line of defense against water buildup in your basement is a quality, award-winning sump pump like the TripleSump and a good drainage system. The beauty of the TripleSump is that it has a second pump as well as a backup battery sump pump so it's worry-free. Superior drainage systems offered by Badger Basement Systems like WaterGuard, DryTrak, and FlowGuard ensure that the water drained from you basement leaves safely away from you house, leaving you only with a dry, safe basement. 

Foundation repair experts in Rockford, IL

In addition to basement repairs, Badger Basement Systems also offers foundation repair services. In many cases, the problem looks worse than it is and a total foundation replacement is not necessary. 

Common warning signs of foundation problems: 

• Uneven or sloping floors
• Cracks in the floor
• Cracks in interior wall
• Inward bowing walls
• Sagging floors over a crawl space
• Hard to open windows and doors
• Tilting chimneys
• Street creep
• Cracks in exterior wall

Many of the problems that people have with their foundations are related to poor, weak soil or poor supports that can no longer hold up. Jack posts, PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling System, and foundation and slab piers are proven to improve the levelness and structural integrity of a house without requiring that the whole foundation or concrete slab be replaced. For walls, wall anchors or I-Beam Wall Braces can be used to stop and correct bowing and leaning walls. Call us today for a FREE estimate!

Rockford, IL Excellent Crawl Space Repairs

Because of the function of crawl spaces, it is easier for them to accumulate moisture and debris. This, however, can have disastrous consequences, not only for the crawl space itself, but also for the supports and foundations of the entire house. The warning signs of a damaged crawl space would include a musty smell, sagging floors, condensation, etc. Once a crawl space allows water and moisture in, it can become a prime breeding ground for mold and mildew which can destroy support beams. 

The damage that mold and poor supports in a crawl space can have on your house is daunting, but that's why Badger Basement Systems has the expertise to provide you with solutions using high quality products such as a crawl space vapor barrier so seal out moisture and bugs, and an effective dehumidifier to keep the area dry. These products, installed by our expert technicians, can turn your dirty, unsafe crawl space into an energy-efficient part of you home.
