Seeking a reliable fix, the homeowner contacted Jamison for a professional assessment and repair plan. After inspecting the basement project manager Ken McKnight recommended a combination of wall stabilization and a stucco application to restore both strength and durability.

The process included:
Removing loose and deteriorated material Preparing and cleaning the wall surface Applying a reinforced bonding layer Installing a durable stucco coating to seal and strengthen the structure


The Results

The transformation was immediate and long-lasting:
The basement walls were structurally reinforced Moisture resistance significantly improved The space gained a clean, finished appearance The homeowner regained peace of mind..

Jamison Project Manager Ken McKnight, who brings over 15 years of experience with the company, conducted the inspection and recommended the installation of Rhino brand carbon fiber straps. This solution was designed to reinforce the compromised foundation wall and prevent any further movement.
After the carbon fiber straps were professionally installed, the structural concerns were effectively addressed. With the added confidence of Jamison’s transferable lifetime warranty, the homeowners were able to put the property back on the market where it sold quickly and without issue.

Project Manager Tim Pronesti conducted a comprehensive inspection of the client’s basement to assess ongoing moisture concerns. During his evaluation, Tim identified elevated humidity levels and signs of moisture intrusion along the walls and floor.

Based on his findings, Tim recommended a two-part solution:

1. Installation of a high-volume dehumidifier to continually control humidity and maintain a dry, healthy environment.
2. Application of a moisture-blocking coating on both the basement walls and floor to prevent water seepage, protect structural materials, and improve overall appearance.

This combined approach not only provides the homeowner with a cleaner, more attractive basement, but also delivers long term protection by reducing moisture levels and helping preserve the integrity of the foundation walls.

The challenge we faced was cleaning out this very large crawl space, which had been filled with debris over the years.

To address this, Steve C., our experienced Project Manager, recommended a targeted solution to tackle the moisture problem at its source:

1. Crawl Space Cleanout: The first step was to remove any dirt, debris, and organic materials that had accumulated in the crawl space. This allowed us to create a clean, clear foundation for the moisture barrier installation and helped prevent mold or mildew from taking hold in the future.
2. Installation of Air-Tight Moisture Barrier: To address the root cause of the moisture problem, we applied a high-quality, air-tight moisture barrier over the entire crawl space. This durable, waterproof liner effectively sealed off the area from ground moisture, keeping the space dry and preventing future water infiltration.
3. Ongoing Protection: With the moisture barrier in place, the crawl space is now protected from moisture and mold. Terrence can rest easy knowing that his home will remain dry and that the unpleasant damp smells have been eliminated.

Results: A Dry, Healthy Crawl Space

Since the completion of the project, Terrence has reported:

• Eliminated Damp Smells: The musty, damp odors that had once lingered throughout the house are now gone. With the crawl space sealed and moisture-controlled, the air in the home has become noticeably fresher and cleaner.
• Peace of Mind: Terrence is more at ease knowing his crawl space will stay dry, free from mold, and protected from moisture-related issues for years to come. The worry of further damage to his home has been lifted.
• Annual Maintenance Commitment: As part of our service, Jamison Basement Waterproofing will return annually for a full inspection of the crawl space to ensure everything remains in optimal condition, giving Terrence ongoing peace of mind.
