Specializing in injection of cracks in poured concrete foundation walls to prevent water intrusion and protect foundation and basement. Specialize in working with Realtors, Home Inspectors and Homeowners. MHIC # 93169. Free estimates via phone. Cost effective & permanent.

"Had a 5 foot long crack in my poured-concrete basement wall. It was not leaking, but I wanted to have it sealed regardless. Alek came on a Saturday, gave me his estimate, and then repaired the wall. He was very forthcoming by explaining that the repair was not absolutely necessary if there was no leakage, but I wanted it sealed anyway. He did a top rate job and I would not hesitate to use his services again."

"Had a great experience with Chris Kuper at Basement Detective! My basement flooded from non-stop storms and I needed a sump pump installed along with complete renovation of my basement. They were very competitive in pricing and outstanding in results. Chris even helped coordinate with the contractor doing my basement renovation after the sump was installed to make sure none of the drainage was disturbed by the new work being done. I have since weathered at least 3 large storms and can hear the sump working as needed. Very happy with the results!"

"It went well. The job was performed to the specifications laid out in the contract. It was finished on time with a professional work crew. My one quibble with them was how they dealt with our plants. They were less attentive to making sure the property was restored to its previous state. However, they fixed the issue promptly once it was raised. I would recommend GeoFreeze for foundation and engineering work."

Deska Services is a licensed professional engineering, specialty waterproofing and structural contracting company. Our range of services varies from structural engineering evaluations, design, waterproofing, structural repairs, and foundation underpinning.

"My wife and I reached out to several waterproofing/foundation repair companies and ultimately went with Deska as Dave, the on-site estimator, was the most knowledgeable, honest, and efficient when assessing our basement’s water damage. We were NOT disappointed with the quality of work. Ronald and Andy showed up on time the morning of the project after giving a heads up call ~30 minutes out. They introduced themselves and explained the project scope confirming everything Dave had itemized on the project invoice before starting any work. I poked my head in the backyard a couple of times throughout the day to see if either of them needed anything, and Ronald always took a break to explain how the work was going. He took progress pictures and answered the exhaustive questions I threw his way as this was the first waterproofing project for me. The second/last day of the project prior to finishing up, Ronald and Andy gave my wife and I an overview of everything they had done and even insisted on returning the paver stones back to their original positions since we had those dug out when calling various contractors over for their estimates. A nice little personable touch! Thank you Dave and especially Ronald and Andy for your exceptional work and professionalism during the two days. Although it’s unfortunately a premium to find trustworthy contractors especially in the waterproofing/foundation repair space, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these gentlemen to take care of any of your waterproofing/foundation repair needs."

"No other way to put it. Install went fine. When I call, email, text for warranty service… run around at every turn. They say they will schedule right away for evaluation…didn’t happen. They say they will get it replaced right away…hasn’t happened. Regret after the sale. Xavier D and Alexis C are my two “contacts”. Unacceptable. Standing by for some ridiculous message about being sorry for the experience and to call some number that will fail to get a response. Also filing a BBB complaint."

Louis & Associates, LLC is a structural engineering consulting firm in Burke, VA since 2000. Luyi (Louis) Yan, the president and principal structural engineer, holds PE licenses in VA, MD, and DC with BS & MS degree in structural and civil engineering majors, and is the member of ASCE and NCEES. Mr. Yan had been a lead engineer in top national design firms, such as, Bechtel and PB. He has broad engineering knowledge and 25 years+ hands-on design experience in wood, masonry, steel, and concrete structures. He is familiar with current building codes, and local government's requirements for application of building permits. Louis & Associates, LLC and its long term associates would like to provide a full service of design including architecture, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing). Louis & Associates provides following services: -Structural analysis, design, AutoCAD drafting, and building inspection/evaluation -Including residential, commercial, industrial, restaurants, schools, governmental and religious buildings -Review, approve and seal structural drawings designed by others; -Building-code compliance analysis for building permit applications; -Building renovation/expansion design: add a new addition, pup-up, attic, dormer, stair, garage, deck and sunroom, finish basement and remove existing load-bearing walls and columns; -Structural damage investigation and repairing design, such as foundation settlement, retaining failure, basement wall/floor slab cracking, floor vibration/sagging, damages caused by falling trees, fire, snow, wind and reckless construction, etc. -Retaining wall and foundation underpinning design, -Light-gauge steel (LGS) framing and insulated concrete form (ICF) wall system design -Structural evaluation and repairing design for floor sagging, wall tilting and cracking, foundation settlement, structural damages caused by water, fire, snow, wind, seismic, overloading, and reckless construction.

"Louis was easy to schedule and was at the house within a week of me calling to schedule the inspection. Louis performed the inspection, relying on me to point out areas of concern and then taking some brief measurements and photos. However, he could not diagnose a main area of concern in second floor joists due to no access to joists either from above or below, and did not provide a solution or a diagnosis despite being paid for analysis. His visit was a turning point in the quality of service. His report was substandard. He did not properly document all needed repairs, and what he wrote in the report differed from what he mentioned in person regarding a failing floor joist. Multiple attempts were made to contact Louis by phone with voicemails and by e-mail to clarify discrepancies between the report and comments during his inspection, but he failed to communicate back to me. Overall, this service was not worth the $500 that it cost."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
