It's unfortunately quite common for concrete settlement to occur over extended periods of time. This is partially due to uncontrollable environmental factors such as moisture, exposure to sunlight, and poorly compressed fill soil. Concrete is generally quite porous in nature, meaning that overtime water can enter and begin to deteriorate the structure of these surfaces. Settlement also occurs as a result of continuous temperature changes, causing the pores in concrete slabs to expand and contract, creating the disheveled appearance we frequently recognize on most walkways. This Philadelphia, PA property owner decided it was time to resolve ongoing settlement issues located on their properties front entryway sidewalk. The owner observed significant signs of surface decay, with uneven slabs and dangerous tripping hazards arising, they knew a permanent solution was crucial.

At Quality 1st, we recently tackled a challenging basement waterproofing job in a historic Philadelphia neighborhood. The owner, facing with persistent waterproofing issues in a commercial basement, reached out to us after noticing water infiltration despite having some parts of the problem addressed by other service providers. The persisting concerns centered around leakages at the Bilco doors and a failing sump pump, vital barriers to moisture intrusion in basements. Upon receiving the call, we immediately arranged for our System Design Specialist to visit the property for a comprehensive evaluation. We understand that each property comes with its unique set of challenges, especially in a city as rich in history as Philadelphia.

Our solution included installing SuperSump, a high-end sump pump known for its reliability and efficiency in handling significant volumes of water, and WaterGuard, an innovative interior drainage system designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement before it causes damage.
