A previous foam injection on this Bettendorf foundation crack had failed and left a mess without stopping the leak. Behncke Construction hand-excavated the exterior, then sealed the crack from both the outside and the inside.
Deteriorating and broken mortar joints in a Moline foundation were letting water into the home. Behncke Construction tuckpointed the damaged joints and improved drainage around the house so water stops reaching the foundation in the first place.
A concrete garage stem wall in Moline was breaking down, likely from conditions when it was originally poured. Behncke Construction removed the deteriorated concrete, prepared the foundation, and bonded a new layer of repair material to restore the wall and protect the concrete that remained.
Settlement had opened a crack in a Bettendorf foundation wall and was letting water into the basement. Behncke Construction sealed the crack from both the exterior and the interior, giving the wall two layers of protection against future water intrusion.
A block foundation in Port Byron, Illinois had movement along its north wall and mortar joints so deteriorated that daylight showed through. Behncke Construction installed three heavy-duty steel braces with gussets, tuckpointed about 13 feet of interior wall, repaired exterior joints, and sealed a crack at the northeast corner.
Behncke Construction stabilized three basement walls in Moline, Illinois with twelve heavy structural steel I-beams, each installed for continuous contact with the block wall, and tuckpointed deteriorated and open mortar joints inside and out.
Poor exterior drainage was letting water reach a Moline foundation. Behncke Construction sealed the foundation from the exterior, repaired a damaged section, tuckpointed deteriorated masonry, blocked in an unused window, installed new window wells, regraded with topsoil, and replaced the deteriorated sidewalks with new concrete.
Water was getting in at the foundation, but this home did not need an interior drain tile system. Behncke Construction sealed the exterior foundation crack and installed 52 feet of lawn drainage to carry water away from the house and discharge it toward the creek.
Behncke Construction stabilized a failing foundation wall in Davenport with four steel I-beam braces set in continuous mortar, then tuckpointed and sealed the damaged mortar joints. The wall was stabilized in place rather than forced back.
Water was coming into a Davenport basement through one specific foundation crack. Instead of replacing a drain tile system that still worked, Behncke Construction excavated and sealed the crack from the exterior, repaired the waterproofing at that section, and tied a drainage path into the existing drain tile.
