We specialize in basement and crawl space waterproofing. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing effective solutions to keep your basement dry and free from water seepage.

"About 8 years ago, after a brutal series of flooding rains, we started getting water in our finished basement. Eventually over the years it became a huge problem whenever there was significant rain, which happened frequently. In August 2018 we unfinished the impacted part of the basement and obtained quotes for a repair. Seepageseal was by far the most responsive and most reasonable. They did not press us into a large scale expensive solution. They installed a vapor barrier and drain tiles, in addition to a sump pump. They brought in an experienced team that quickly, cleanly and efficiently completed the installation. It is now April 2019 and we have endured numerous rain storms that have flooded our neighbors basements. Their solution has proven 100% successful. We highly recommend this company."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

Trusses and rafters each have advantages and disadvantages, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. For example, trusses are more affordable and often come in prefabricated kits, so they’re easier to build than rafters. However, rafters are available in a variety of designs, so it’s easier to find one that fits your style preferences. Plus, if you want to build an attic at some point down the line, it’s far easier to do that with rafters rather than trusses.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
