This particular client’s residence experienced storm damage in 2009. The client hired E.A. Knight Construction (Marion, Illinois) to rebuild her home.

E.A. Knight Construction contacted Helitech and asked what we could do about repairing the basement.

Southern Illinois Storm Damage Causes Bowing Basement Walls

The home had been damaged by several large trees causing the basement walls to bow in.

The 2 closest walls to where the trees landed were 3 to 4 inches bowed in; the 2 that were on the other side were about 1 inch in. Not only were the walls damaged, but the footing drain had also collapsed and there was water seepage in the basement.

Solution:

Helitech installed 13 A.B. Chance wall anchors, tar membrane, and pulled the 2 walls back. On the other 2 walls, Helitech installed 14 Carbonbond plates and 6 crack repair kits for stability. At first, the client did not waterproof the basement because she thought that the water was due to the power outage. However, when the water continued to seep, she realized that the footing drain was not functioning and decided to install 144 feet of drainage.

Adam Fricke was very helpful and explained everything Helitech can do and even helped me with my change orders. Chad Hurd and crew did a fantastic job. He explained everything they were doing. All the guys on the crew were helpful, friendly and answered any questions I had. They did a lot of heavy work and in a very short time, I was very impressed with how well they worked together. They know their stuff. I highly recommend Helitech for any basement waterproofing needs you may have. You won’t be disappointed.
