"Austin Wells & Peter Dang were professional, informative and very hard working. Their attention to detail was fantastic! There was a wait to get the work done as there are not many companies in our area that can provide this service. The foundation is raised and we no longer have a gap that was creating moisture."

"We had basement water issues with water and some mold and rotting wood that was compounded by Hurricane Sandy that led us to finally do the work.  I was fearful of being taken advantage of.   This company was recommended by a contractor that we use regularly and that we trust (Roger Williams Construction, Jarretsville).
The sales representative was easy to schedule.  He was one of the most experienced men in the company.  He reviewed our property and made a specific plan to handle the problems found.  This is not a cheap proposition, especially for something that is buried in the ground or behind walls, but something we wanted done once and finally. 
The work comes with a lifetime warranty and is transferable to the next home owner.  The business has been around for over 20 years.  The warranty will last as long as the company lasts.
A big plus, but only mentioned in passing, was the company offered a 10% discount to Angie's List members.  I immediately became a member while we were discussing the proposal and immediately saved over $1000!!
One man prepped the basement and sidewalls.  Very capable and friendly.  Took several days.
A 3-4 man crew with a supervisor always on site then did the pipe, drain, and sump pump renovations and bentonite.  Took 3 days with the crew working from about 8:30 -3:30 each day.  Finished on time with as little mess as anticipated.  Project did require jackhammering cement around the basement edge and this did raise up some dust.
Same one man will return to refinish the sheet rock and reinstall cabinets and appliances.
Will probably need to pay to have a cleaning service come in and clean the basement and main floor to get the dust out.  Will need to pay to repaint the repaired drywall.  The carpet that was pulled away for the work does not appear damaged so hopefully it will reinstalled with little problem.

"After explaining all facets of the work he was about to accomplish, the Installer (Mr. Bernard W.) quietly went about his work. The results were truly outstanding - the new system worked perfectly, with piping thru concrete quite cosmetic in appearance. I could not be more pleased. Thank you for quality, top notch service."

"My Science Lab in the lower level of our school flooded. We needed to replace the wood floor and subfloor. Harknox came in and built a "sub pump" system with a trench inside to prevent further floods, cemented in an outside area that allowed the water into my building. It was all done in one day. Neat job. Cost effective. Start to finish, from call to bid to complete...24-48 hours"

"Wow! After years of water seeping into our basement and 4 floods, I felt really defeated. My husband and I cringed every time it rained even a little. After our last flood, we called Floodbusters. They gave us a reasonable estimate, which was cheaper than the other 2 estimates we got. In fact, there were even a couple of businesses that didn't even call us back. They installed a second sump pump and a trench drain outside of our basement door. I will be honest--The 2 men who installed them did an amazing job, but they left it messy and unfinished and when my husband pointed it out, they insulted my husband. We immediately called the company and spoke to the owner. The owner was astonished and not happy at all. He sent someone out the next day who redid the cement finishing on the inside and outside, and he cleaned up the messy areas. He was EXTREMELY professional and apologetic as were the owners. Two weeks after the installation, Baltimore received torrential downpours and storms for days on end, and it continued for the next 10 days. Our basement was BONE DRY!!!!! We are so grateful to Floodbusters!!! My husband and I can now live normal lives in any weather with the piece of mind that we will never have water issues again!!! We HIGHLY recommend this company!"

"Excellent wish all my contractors came out this good.  showed up for the estimate on time and had a video that showed the steps to fix the basement.  measured  the basement and made up contract.  when I mentioned angies list and deals offered we built it right into contract without printing coupons and stuff. were quick with availability came out the following week.  foreman (Dan) was on time and double checked everything before starting .Wanted to move sump pump and outside drain to a less used area. not a PROBLEM. Was loud and cold in the house all day as if you run the furnace while they work it comes through the vents.  laid out carpet protectors and were done in only 1 day (the estimator planned 2)  Jackhammered the floor out and dug down to foundation laid new drains and installed new sump pump. they brought 5 people and they all worked hard constantly for the day.  lost track of all the buckets after 30 (5 gal. buckets).removed with old crap.  Explained all the warranties and paperwork with new sump pump.  Have to wait for the concrete to dry. it's now 3 days later and I'm ready to put the basement back together.  Looks great and can't wait to use the basement without wet and damp floors and walls furnace)  did forget to put screen back in basement window but if you have leaky walls and damp floors this is nice.  any problems after the next big rain I'll let ya's know.

"They had to dig out a whole wall out of my basement to stop the leaking. They cleaned the basement wall and they resealed it with the latest technology. They were very friendly and cooperative. They worked hard, and came when they said they would. Everything you would hope a contractor would do that did."

"Shortly after buying our home we started getting water in our basement after heavy rains. After researching various services we decided to explore structural engineering. We made the right choice with Area Construction. The owner did a thorough assessment, created a plan to address the problem, and efficiently completed the job. The team was dependable and trustworthy, kept us updated with any changes that were needed as work progressed. Three years later and our basement is still dry as a bone."

FAQs for concrete foundation raise projects in Cecilton, MD

On average, it takes two to seven days to physically raise your house. However, this does not include the preparation work, which is often the most lengthy process. The entire project, including preparation, obtaining permits, disconnecting utilities, and any subsequent landscaping, can take four to eight weeks. This timeline ensures everything is done safely and that your home remains structurally sound.

If proper safety protocols are not followed, raising a house can cause severe damage, as the process involves applying controlled force to the home's structure. The risks involved make it crucial to hire a skilled contractor who uses engineered methods to secure your home and prevent any harm to your household.

If your foundation shows signs of instability after raising your home, you might need to add structural support. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and recommend reinforcements to ensure your house stays stable and safe for the long term. Available support options include installing additional piers or pilings, reinforcing existing footings, or using steel beams to distribute the load more evenly.

You will need a structural engineer to assess your home before you begin. These professionals determine whether your house is suitable for lifting and identify any issues that could compromise its stability. Their expertise ensures that the project is designed correctly and all risks are managed to achieve a successful lift.
