A Closer Look: Abandoned Cellar Remediation – Structural void filling Suburban Basement was tasked with addressing an abandoned cellar that was causing water intrusion into a homeowner’s basement. The cellar had fallen into disrepair and was no longer in use, posing a significant challenge for remediation.
Demolishing the cellar wasn’t an option due to the presence of a wooden porch. This process could have damaged the porch, requiring costly repairs or replacement. Recognizing this significant expense, our expert team devised a cost-effective solution utilizing our structural void technique and specialized materials to effectively seal off the abandoned cellar.
The plan aimed to preserve existing water lines for future access while resolving the leakage issue. To execute the plan, the area was temporarily walled off, allowing our technicians to create space for a brick mason to further close off the area.
Structural void filling is a multi-stage process, and below, you can find an overview of the steps involved:
