Core Services Overview
Aquaguard Waterproofing Corporation provides foundation crack sealing, crawlspace encapsulation, and structural reinforcement designed to stop water intrusion and stabilize shifting soils. Their technicians assess moisture levels, identify pressure points, and apply polymer‑based sealants or carbon‑fiber stitching to restore structural integrity while preventing future damage.

Foundation Repair Process
The process begins with a visual inspection and laser level survey to map settlement patterns. After confirming the cause—whether hydrostatic pressure, poor drainage, or soil expansion—Aquaguard recommends one of three common solutions: epoxy injection for minor cracks, pressure grouting for larger voids, or pier installation for severe settlement. Each method includes post‑repair monitoring to verify effectiveness.
Crawlspace Encapsulation & Moisture Management
Encapsulation involves sealing walls, floors, and vents with heavy‑duty polyethylene barriers, installing a dehumidifier, and adding a vapor‑retarder on the subfloor. Aquaguard also fits insulated wall panels and sump pump systems where groundwater is a persistent issue. The goal is to maintain relative humidity below 60 % and eliminate mold‑friendly conditions.
Additional Protective Measures
Beyond repairs, Aquaguard offers exterior drainage upgrades such as French drains, surface grading, and gutter extensions. Interior options include basement wall waterproofing membranes and interior drainage channels that direct water to a sump pump. These complementary systems extend the lifespan of both foundation and crawlspace repairs.
Choosing the Right Solution
Selection depends on three variables: severity of damage, soil type, and local climate. For minor settlement in clay soils, epoxy injection combined with exterior grading may suffice. In high‑rainfall regions with sandy soils, a full encapsulation plus exterior French drain offers the most reliable defense. Aquaguard provides a detailed cost‑benefit analysis to match the solution to the property's specific risk profile.
Maintenance and Warranty
After completion, Aquaguard schedules a 12‑month follow‑up inspection to verify that moisture levels remain stable and that structural supports hold. Most services come with a limited warranty ranging from five to ten years, depending on the repair method and materials used.
