Basement Waterproofing
Water in your basement or crawl space can be a stressful and destructive problem, damaging any personal items, encouraging mold growth, or even causing issues that eventually require expensive structural repair.
Foundation Repair
Stair step cracks in brick and mortar along with drywall cracking may be a result of foundation settlement. Additional damage may include gaps at windows, doors or cracks in the foundation.
Egress Windows
Stratum Structural Systems is the premier egress window specialist in St. Louis. Egress windows are designed to provide home occupants a safe place to exit during a time of emergency, and are required to be installed in all basement bedrooms.
Crack Repair
Foundation cracks can occur for many reasons. Not all cracks are structural concerns and often, simple epoxy or urethane injections can be administered to prevent water from entering the basement.
Concrete Leveling
Uneven concrete can become a dangerous tripping hazard and will only get worse with time. No need to replace broken concrete...Just Raise It!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Last week, after a serious overnight rain, we noticed a corner of the basement past the end of the drain field that was damp. We called Stratum to have it evaluated, sending photos of the area. Two days later, a crew came and spent five hours extending the drain field another six feet and digging a new connection to our sump pump pit. They covered this area in new concrete. They also filled a new wall crack that had appeared in the same area--the crack was not there when they did the work two years ago. And they found a crack in the sump pump discharge pipe we had not seen and fixed that.
We were not charged for all this work--Stratum told us it was part of their warranty for the previous project. We are stunned that all this work was at their expense, not ours. This indicates the integrity this company possesses--they stand behind their work, in this case years after the original project. Their workmen were efficient, explained all their actions, and were extremely neat--except for the new concrete, we can't tell they were ever there.
Though I hope we will not need them again, I am confident that if we do, they will stand 100% behind their work, respond quickly, and make sure our basement is structurally sound and dry.
