SCOPE OF WORK

Foundation and below-grade wall repair and waterproofing, documented wherever conditions are exposed and accessible.

Applicable Standards

ACI 318, ACI 332, IBC Chapter 18, IRC R401–R405, ASCE 7 (seismic), manufacturer requirements for helical/push pier systems

Foundation Assessment
  • Visual survey and crack mapping of all accessible foundation surfaces.
  • Settlement measurement and elevation survey to quantify differential movement.
  • Drainage assessment: inspect gutters, downspouts, grading, and perimeter for water management issues.
  • Geotechnical coordination: provide soil conditions to EOR for underpinning design.
Waterproofing — Below Grade
  • Exterior waterproof membrane on foundation walls: spray-applied or self-adhered sheet membrane.
  • Drainage board and filter fabric over membrane before backfill.
  • Crystalline waterproofing (TREMproof 250GC or equal) as alternative; self-healing.
  • Interior drain tile system: perimeter trench, pipe, and sump pit for hydrostatic pressure management.
Foundation Crack Repair
  • Epoxy injection (ASTM C881) for structural cracks in concrete foundations.
  • Polyurethane foam injection for active water-infiltration cracks.
  • Carbon fiber reinforcement straps for laterally bowed or cracked foundation walls: layout per EOR.
Underpinning
  • Helical pile installation (CHANCE or equal): torque-monitored; capacity per EOR.
  • Push pier installation: hydraulic ram; bears on competent soil or rock; capacity per EOR.
  • Mini-pile / micro-pile: drilled and grouted for high-capacity requirements in poor soil conditions.
Drainage Correction
  • Site regrading: minimum 6" drop in first 10 feet away from foundation.
  • Downspout extension: discharge minimum 6 ft from foundation.
  • French drain installation: perforated pipe, gravel, filter fabric, discharge to daylight or dry well.
