PROBLEM: A client contacted HELITECH in regards to water in his basement. During the initial visit, it was apparent that the water was coming over the top of the existing foundation. The client showed the crew an area where water was coming in, and water damage on interior framing. The driveway was tilted towards the house and was badly cracked. In addition, the adjoining neighbors behind him were elevated higher, which directed all of their water towards the client’s house.
SOLUTION: HELITECH removed the existing section of the driveway and replaced it with a new one sloping away from the house. HELITECH also installed a grate along the house to catch water during a heavy storm. The crew removed a 16" section of the driveway along the side of the house and replaced it with new concrete that was curbed to send water down to the street faster.
RESOLUTION: The result was an affective solution that improved water flow and improved appearance of the property.
