This customer contacted us regarding a property at the Chautauqua Institution about some foundation issues. They had a rather large water leak. Upon digging the foundation up, we found some serious issues with missing mortar and other small cracks. The blocks are not in good shape. We advised on replacing this wall, only to be replacing the entire foundation in the coming season. For now, we devised a plan to direct water into the sump pump in the basement with footer drains and a gravel bed for drainage, repair missing mortar and seal the exterior wall. This will prolong the life of the foundation along with buying time to replace the entire house foundation. We have contacted a reliable local landscaping business to come in and restore the landscape to its original condition as well.
Foundation problems are not a good thing and can be very serious, but if you happen to find yourself having water issues do not hesitate to give us a call! (716) 969 0173
