Hayward's Dependable Foundation Repair, Concrete Lifting & Leveling Contractor

When our newest neighbors in Hayward, WI purchased their dream home, they were excited to start this new chapter of their lives. However, they quickly discovered that their forever home came with an unexpected challenge – a damp, musty crawl space. The condition of the crawl space was less than ideal, as shown in the before photo, with excessive moisture and a dreary atmosphere that threatened the comfort and air quality of their entire home.

Recognizing the importance of addressing the issue before it became worse, they reached out to us for a solution. We knew the best way to tackle this problem was through our advanced CleanSpace®  technology, which would seal and protect the crawl space, preventing moisture infiltration and mold growth. To further ensure their home’s air remained fresh and dry, we installed a SaniDry™ Sedona system, an energy-efficient dehumidifier designed to keep the space dry and the air quality pristine.

The transformation was nothing short of remarkable. The after photo speaks volumes – the crawl space is now sealed, dry, and protected from the elements, allowing the homeowners to breathe easier and enjoy their home without worry. With the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home is safe from moisture damage and poor air quality, they can fully embrace their new space and start creating memories, all thanks to a reliable, long-lasting solution tailored to their needs.

When our client in Hayward discovered that their attic had little to no insulation, they knew their home was lacking an essential feature that could improve comfort and energy efficiency. As shown in the before photo, the attic was bare, which led to inefficient heating and cooling, causing the homeowner to experience higher energy bills and fluctuating temperatures throughout the year. Without the proper insulation, their home simply couldn't maintain a comfortable climate, especially during the extreme winter cold and summer heat.

Recognizing the need for change, our team was called in to provide a reliable solution. We assessed the attic and recommended the installation of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation—an eco-friendly and highly effective material that fills every gap and corner. As seen in the after photo, the transformation was immediate. Our Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation now fills the entire attic, creating a robust barrier that not only prevents heat loss in the winter but also keeps the home cooler in the summer by reducing heat gain.

With this upgrade, the attic now works efficiently as part of the home’s overall energy system, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment year-round. The insulation helps to regulate temperature, making the home feel warmer during the colder months and cooler in the heat of summer. In turn, the homeowner can expect a reduction in their energy bills as the heating and cooling systems no longer have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature.

We’re thrilled to have helped this client achieve a significant improvement in their living experience. The Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation we installed not only enhanced the home’s comfort but also provided long-lasting, reliable results. This project is a great example of how small changes, like upgrading attic insulation, can have a big impact on both energy efficiency and quality of life.

After facing a failed home inspection in Hayward, WI, due to serious crawl space issues, a homeowner found themselves in a challenging situation. The inspection revealed significant instability that posed a major barrier to selling their house, leaving them feeling anxious about their options. The before photo starkly illustrates the problematic condition of the crawl space, highlighting the need for immediate attention.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, our team quickly responded to the homeowner’s call for help. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the crawl space to identify the underlying structural concerns that contributed to the instability. With a commitment to providing effective solutions, we proposed the installation of SmartJack®, a state-of-the-art support system designed to stabilize and lift sagging beams and floors.

The after photo beautifully showcases the transformation achieved through our SmartJack® installation.

Recently in Hayward, WI, we encountered a homeowner grappling with ongoing water damage that not only drained their finances but also obstructed their future plans. They had already invested over $21,000 in temporary solutions and sought a permanent fix to protect their home's value as they prepared to move closer to family in Madison. Upon reaching out to us, we quickly sent our System Design Specialist to conduct a thorough assessment. It became clear that the basement urgently needed our WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® systems—two proven solutions that transform damp, undesirable basements into dry, healthy spaces.

We installed WaterGuard®, our premier basement waterproofing system, around the perimeter to capture water at its most common entry point—the joint where the floor meets the wall. Additionally, our CleanSpace® wall system provided a robust moisture and vapor barrier, further shielding the basement from humidity and water vapor, which are often responsible for mold growth and unpleasant odors. 

With these systems in place, the homeowner could finally relax. The installation not only addressed the immediate water issues but also ensured long-term protection against moisture threats.

Upon inspection, one of our experienced System Design Specialists discovered the root of the issue and recommended the perfect solution: PolyLevel® and NexusPro® installations. PolyLevel®, a durable and lightweight foam, was strategically injected beneath the slab to raise and stabilize the sinking stairs, offering a long-lasting solution without the mess of traditional mudjacking. NexusPro® was then used to seal joints and cracks, preventing future water infiltration and ensuring the longevity of the repair.

Upon contacting our Appointment Center, they were promptly met with our Design Specialist, who assessed the condition of the home's foundation walls. It was clear that to permanently stabilize the structure and prevent further damage, an effective solution was required. We recommended the installation of our PowerBrace© system.

Our well-versed production team went to work, and the installation process was smooth, strategically placing PowerBrace© along the troubled walls. What resonates with us about this job was not just the technical aspect of fortifying a foundation but the peace of mind we were able to provide to the homeowners.
