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."

Engikeering provides excellent structural engineering solutions. Engikeering will provide a licensed structural engineer to deliver an accurate assessment of the potential concern and create structural solutions. If you are removing walls, adding openings in walls, adding living space, placing an additional story on a structure or other actions that may impact the structural components of an existing building, it is advisable to utilize a structural engineer to understand the full impact of the renovation. Engikeering will provide full structural design and detailing for new structures, to completely and economically meet all of the applicable building code requirements. Engikeering can help identify the cause, assess the severity of the situation, and provide any needed design to remediate the areas of concern: Foundation cracks, interior cracking and/or framing movement, natural disaster damage, sagging floors or bowing walls, rot and/or insect deterioration, undersized, strained or damaged elements, roof failure or building collapse.

"Beware of this company. I had Jonathan come out to provide me with a verbal report on the condition of some termite damage in my basement. With each visit, he wanted more drywall removed and exacerbated the perceived severity of the situation. I soon realized that he was more problem focused than solutions oriented. I decided that I would prefer to look elsewhere for services to mitigate my issue, and effectively terminated our contract. Jonathan, without my knowledge and with what I perceive to be malicious intent, then sent his partially complete report to the Village reporting my property. Half the report was guesswork as to the extent of the damage as they were about areas that he was not even able to visually inspect. The village, after reading the report, became spooked and are asking for more than I and my professionals agree is necessary to mitigate the safety risk. Needless to say, I will never again use his services and I strongly advise that others be wary as well."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.

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.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
