Proper Drainage

Ground water drainage is a critical component in protecting a foundation and basement from moisture. LAN Concrete Technology can give you a professional assessment of your water drainage options, whether it be interior and exterior, or natural flow or pumped.

If you know the warning signs of trouble and what causes foundation failure, you're more likely to catch a problem at it's inception in time to remedy before becoming a bigger, more costly issue.

Wet basement? Excessive moisture, mold, water? Soggy yard?

Your house exerts quite a load on its foundation and the soil underneath your foundation may be inadequate. When the soil underneath your home or commercial property is altered, primarily from moisture changes, it shrinks or expands and becomes less stable. This moisture change causes pressure from outside your foundation walls from expansive soil saturated with water which can exert pressure your walls were not designed to withstand....causing bowing in at the top or bottom of the foundation walls.

LAN has the solution!

A home built on a concrete slab directly on the soil surrounded by mature landscaping will be a candidate for slab/foundation problems as well. Buildings built on piers and beams are less susceptible because of less contact with soil movement. Homes and buildings with basements are also less susceptible to shifting soil because the footings are usually deeper in the ground on more stable soil.

Leaks and Foundation Issues

Part or all of your foundation may start to sink down which in turn creates strain on other parts of the property to create a variety of issues. Ignoring the issue long enough can lead to eventual foundation wall collapse.

Plumbing/Sewer leaks - A plumbing or sewer leak underneath a slab of concrete will move the soil and create a void, or if the leak continues, cause pressure on the slab from swelling. Either way, the integrity of your foundation will be compromised.

Older homes are prone to foundation issues. At about 10 years, homes and commercial buildings have settled, and mature landscaping has changed the soil conditions from large roots seeking water. Plumbing is older and more likely to develop leaks. The surrounding soil has also been through multiple weather cycles of freezing and thawing, shrinking and expanding. All stresses affecting your foundation and may need addressing.
