Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair, Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation

Anything from heavy rainfall to rising water tables can cause water leakage in a basement. If your property has an improper slope, it may be directing water straight into your basement through the foundation’s walls. Many drainage systems do not keep all water out of your basement, and they become clogged or break over time. Our company’s WaterGuard System affords a permanent solution, which features these benefits:

• Keeps water out of basements
• Resists clogging with unique design
• Rear-perforated pipe blocks water from below
• Wall flange resists dirt that leads to seepage

Foundation cracks, bowing basement walls, sticking doors and uneven floors can signal movement beneath a Pierre-area home. Central South Dakota’s seasonal moisture changes and freeze-thaw cycles can place repeated pressure on foundations, so early evaluation matters.

Blackburn Foundation Repair provides permanent foundation repair solutions for Pierre homeowners, including wall anchors, pier systems and crawl space supports. Our team identifies the source of the problem and recommends the appropriate system for the home rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all repair.

• Crawl space reinforcement
• Piering
• Push-pier installation
• Earth anchoring
• Wall anchoring

Crawl spaces are notorious for promoting wood decay, mildew and mold. Some types of mold can be extremely harmful to you and your family. As the ground under the foundation shifts, cracks in the crawl space walls allow cold or damp air inside. Icy air causes the floors to be colder, which results in higher energy bills during the winter. Our experienced professionals remedy problems with our CleanSpace System, which offers the following benefits:

• Keeps moisture away
• Resists mold and mildew
• Has a lifetime warranty
• Thick plastic barrier for durability
• Passive radon mitigation

Blackburn Foundation Repair provides professional concrete leveling and lifting for homeowners in Pierre, SD. We stabilize sunken or uneven driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps and other concrete surfaces.

Seasonal moisture changes, freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil can leave concrete slabs cracked or uneven around Pierre homes. These problems can create trip hazards and allow water to drain toward the foundation.

Our PolyLEVEL™ system uses a lightweight expanding material to lift settled slabs and stabilize the soil beneath them. It is fast-acting, minimally invasive and designed to provide a durable alternative to traditional mudjacking.

The benefits of PolyLEVEL™ include:

• Affordable
• Fast-acting
• Adjustable
• Noninvasive
• Environmentally-friendly
• Strong and lightweight
• Waterproof

Blackburn Foundation Repair provides professional radon testing and mitigation for homeowners in Pierre and across central South Dakota. Because radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only reliable way to know the level inside a home.

If elevated radon is found, our trained team can design and install a mitigation system for the property. Pierre-area homeowners can also request a free radon home test kit to take the first step toward healthier indoor air.

Radon levels can vary from one home to the next, so testing is recommended even when a neighboring property has a low result.

With professional radon testing, you can learn the radon level in your home in as little as 48 hours, with accurate and trustworthy results each time. If your home is found to have radon levels that are too high, we also provide detailed radon mitigation systems to help eliminate the existing radon from your home and stop more from coming into your home in the future. Our trained specialists can perform every step of the process, eliminating stress and worry from your life and getting your family back on the road to healthy living.
