Don't let sinking or uneven concrete become a safety hazard or an eyesore. We specialize in leveling and restoring cracked driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks. Our modern repair methods provide a fast, durable, and cost-effective alternative to full concrete replacement, restoring your property’s curb appeal in no time.
Keep your basement dry and usable regardless of the weather. We install professional-grade waterproofing systems, including interior drainage and high-capacity sump pumps, to eliminate leaks and prevent mold growth. Our tailored approach ensures that moisture stays out, protecting your belongings and your family's health.
Prevent foundation damage before it starts by managing water runoff effectively. Our professional-grade gutter guards keep debris out and rainwater flowing freely, eliminating the need for dangerous ladder climbs and frequent cleaning. By directing water away from your perimeter, we help shield your foundation and landscaping from erosion and basement leaks.
Protect your home from the ground up by addressing moisture, rot, and sagging floors. Our crawl space solutions—including encapsulation, dehumidification, and structural support jacks—transform damp, unhealthy areas into dry, stable environments. This not only improves your home’s air quality but also increases energy efficiency and prevents long-term wood decay.

Read what our customers have to say.
We had a major standing water problem in our crawl space that was starting to smell up the whole house. Marcum came out and did a full encapsulation and installed a dehumidifier. The difference in our air quality was almost immediate, and the space is now bone-dry even after heavy rain. It’s a relief to know our home’s structure is protected.
I called Marcum for concrete repair because my driveway had settled so much it was a trip hazard. They used a leveling technique that was way faster and more affordable than I expected. They saved me from having to rip out the whole slab and pour new concrete. Great communication and a very clean workspace!
After years of cleaning out my gutters twice a season, I finally had Marcum install their gutter guards. We just went through a week of heavy storms and they worked perfectly. No clogs, no overflowing, and I didn't have to climb a ladder once. Professional service from start to finish—these guys really know what they’re doing.
