Eric and Kim own an old farm house in the small town of Grant, right outside Idaho Falls. In the back yard they have a very large potato cellar. At first they used the cellar as storage but Kim wanted to use the large space for much more.

She wanted to turn it into an art studio/play room for her kids.  She knew it would take a lot more then just cleaning up the space and laying down carpet. She wanted it done right, she knew she would be living in this house for a very long time and he just wanted to take advantage of all the space she could. She talked with Eric and they started to look for a company that specialized in finishing basements.  One thing they had to be sure of was that they needed to make sure the space was waterproofed, being surrounding on almost all sides by soil the ground water could become their biggest issue.That’s when they called Foundation Support Works. We have all the right tools, products and knowledge to take care of all their needs and wants on this project.

By the time we had finished, you never would have guessed you were standing in an old potato cellar.  Not only that but we made the room a lot safer and less moist. Eric and Kim couldn’t have been any happier with the job.  If you have an old cellar or basement that you would like to use as living space please call us we service all of Idaho!

Homeowners discovered a crack in the foundation wall that allowed water into the basement of the home.  We partnered with homeowners for the home project, including foundation repair and a waterproofing system. The SuperSump Pump System with TrenchDrain and IceGuard are chosen to solve the problem and prevent future flooding.

Homeowner found water intrusion into their basement. To solve the problem WaterGuard was installed and IceGuard was also installed to help prevent potential flooding due to a frozen discharge line.

Having unexpected water find its way into a basement or crawlspace is never a fun or safe scenario to be in. This homeowner from Idaho Falls moved into the house over 20 years ago and had been almost constantly battling water intrusion in the crawlspace of the home. On numerous occasions, enough water would accumulate in the crawlspace that the homeowner would have to have the water pumped out. Finally, the homeowner had had enough and wanted the problem to be resolved permanently. To do this, we installed several products to make absolutely sure that the problem was solved.

A Supersump sump pump was installed to quickly and efficiently pump out any water that might find its way into the home as well as notify the homeowner that water was intruding. Next, Smartpipe was installed to move any water that the sump pump would gather and deposit it safely away from the house. Iceguard and Lawnscape were installed to help prevent any water blockage due to ice in the winter. The homeowner was extremely relieved to finally have his problem taken care of!

A homeowner in Idaho Falls, ID, had a crack in his basement. This crack was visible from the exterior and interior parts of the household. To make matters worse, water continually leaked through this crack into the basement. The drywall had to be torn off to expose the crack and the water damage. This concerned homeowner gave us a call and we quicky sent our expert to come evaluate the issue.

It was decided that our FlexiSpan Wall System would be the best product for our installers to use to fix this problem. With this product installed, it would keep this crack permanently sealed and safe from water leaks. Our installers also resurfaced the concrete and added a second layer of polyurethane for additional support for the crack. To be safe, we also installed a secondary drainage as a backup, and covered this entire system with more polyurethane sealant. Now this homeowner can finish his basement and rest assured that no crack or water will trouble his household.

we did Flexispan for a crack in their foundation that was letting minor water in. Flexispan is the stuff we use to seal big cracks.

The Hill family called because their floor seems to be sinking or sloping in the northwest corner of the home and there was a crack in the drywall to prove it. We proposed SmartJacks & Supplemental Beam

Mr. Buckley was having water problems in his basement and water was coming down the walls.

We installed WaterGuard, SuperSump, CleanSpace Wall System

CleanSpace wall system keeps the water running down the was going into our drainage system and then the homeowners can put drywall back up over the affected wall. 

A customer called from Idaho Falls with settlement in the northeast corner of their garage with cracking windows and cracks through the brick of the home.

We installed Push Piers. 

Push Pier Systems utilize high-strength round steel tube sections and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and/or lift sinking or settling foundations. The foundation bracket is secured against the existing footing and pier sections are driven hydraulically through the foundation bracket and into the soil below using the combined structural weight and any contributory soil load as resistance. Pier sections are continuously driven until a suitable load-bearing stratum is encountered.

Is your house flooding every time it rains or your irrigation in on? We can help with that! 

Let's talk about WaterGuard® Basement Drainage System

The WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system from Basement Systems is an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively solve your basement water problems.

When combined with our sump pumps and other waterproofing products, WaterGuard will keep your basement clean and dry year-round.

How It Works

Unlike conventional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard drainage piping is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots.

WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.

Basement Systems recommends installing WaterGuard along with our TripleSafe™ sump pump system for optimum protection.

Our complete basement waterproofing system offers everything you need to keep water out of your basement.

Durable, No-Clog Design

Homeowners prefer WaterGuard's discreet design. The drainage channel is hidden beneath a layer of concrete. Only the top edge of the wall flange is visible, so you'll hardly know it's there. Plus, WaterGuard comes with a 20-year warranty against clogs.

The WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system has a patented profile that includes:

• Wall flange with spacers for collecting wall seepage
• Channel holes that allow groundwater to enter the drain line
• Large-diameter channel that won’t crush or kink like standard plastic drain tile can

Another happy customer thanks to Foundation & Crawl Space Repair of Idaho!

A homeowner in Idaho Falls, ID, contacted the team at Foundation & Crawl Space Repair with concerns about his home’s foundation. Cracking walls, uneven floors, and doors that stuck shut—these are all telltale signs of foundation settlement. It’s a stressful situation no homeowner wants to face, but it’s exactly the kind of problem we handle every day. Fortunately, this homeowner reached out to the local foundation repair experts for help.

One of our experienced specialists visited the property for a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate. After conducting a thorough assessment, the specialist took the time to explain the available solutions to the homeowner. Together, they developed a customized plan of action, and our skilled crew was ready to get to work.

To permanently stabilize the foundation, our team installed the Foundation Supportworks patented Push Pier system. This solution involves driving galvanized steel tubes through foundation brackets and deep into load-bearing soil using hydraulic pressure. By reaching greater depths than other systems, the Push Piers provide an exceptionally strong foundation. Once locked into place, the weight of the home is transferred to the more stable, deeper soil, ensuring long-term stability. The process was efficient, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily life, and it even helped lift the structure back closer to its original position.

Thanks to Foundation & Crawl Space Repair of Idaho, another foundation has been stabilized, and another homeowner is at ease with their repaired home. Another job well done, another happy customer!
