A substantial Davenport project: roughly 100 linear feet of basement waterproofing with a new sump pit and drainage system, plus structural work including new 6×6 support posts, new concrete footings, and temporary support of the main girder beam and stairwell during repairs. Block mortar joints, weep-hole water intrusion, and foundation cracks were repaired inside and out.
