Dave Marcotte Foundations

Dave fixed a bowed wall with a big horizontal crack extending almost all the way along one wall of the basement using Fortress Stabilizers. He also replaced a previously-installed platon and weeping tile along that same wall. The platon had been installed backwards (!) and the old weeping tile had been cut off when they had installed it (!), so the water didn't drain anywhere and, consequently, had been saturating the foundation wall behind the old panelling. To top it off, whoever had installed the previous platon had refilled next to the foundation with the clay that they had taken out. Dave fixed all of these problems. We now have a rock-solid wall, a properly installed platon, weeping tile that drains into an old sump hole with a backup valve that they installed, and clean gravel fill next to the foundation. Great job all around!

I couldn't be happier with the job that Dave's company did. Dave diagnosed things well and clearly explained what our options were. His crew worked efficiently, getting the job done quickly with minimum inconvenience to us. Installing the Fortress Stabilizers took only a 1/2 day. Fixing the platon and weeping tile took just two days.

I highly recommend Dave's company. Dave is ethical and very helpful. His company is thorough and efficient about their work. If we have a need for any foundation work in the future, I know who we will be calling.
