Water Intrusion

Water intrusion is the primary contributor to most major foundation problems. It not only degrades the structural capacity of the foundation it also creates an atmosphere for mold and micro bacterial organisms to grow. None of these conditions are conducive to providing long term structural integrity of a building and an reasonably inhabitable space.
CSI addresses each water intrusion problem by first conducting an extensive inspection. We indentify the leak location(s), assess ground water hydrostatic pressure, structural deterioration or other sources causing the existing conditions. Cracks due to water seepage are found in the corners of the walls, or where the bricks, stone or concrete slabs join together. These cracks begin as small hairline cracks and widen over time. Next we develop a detailed plan to eliminate the conditions. Typically cracks in the foundations can be repaired using a number of polymers or structural composites that include:

Each situation is unique and CSI evaluations of the appropriate repair technology addresses location of crack, size, hydrostatic pressure and structural conditions.
CSI fixes it right the first time so water intrusion is never a concern in the future.
