Please contact us if your foundation is leaking or flooding from these heavy rains. We fixed a foundation four days before this storm, and it went from wet, leaky dry-laid fieldstone, to “dry as a bone.” And the foundations we repaired 15 years ago – also still dry as a bone. (sometimes humid, but not leaky!)

“We love the new basement, you all did such a bang up job last week in the ridiculous heat. I wanted to send a video because after the insane rain we’ve gotten, the sump pump here is going like every 30 seconds and the lawn has standing water all over the place, but the basement is bone dry!”

This basement started out as an almost inaccessible crawlspace of about 16″ of space. Parker Construction hand dug down to 4 feet, making the space accessible for adding insulation and reinforced shotcrete repair. Coupled with the exterior foundation repair, this carriage-house-turned-living-space will be warm and dry, and enjoyed for centuries to come.
