Before & After Photos

Floors above dirt spaces are susceptible to problems created within the space itself. Moisture changes and weak foundation soils in a space can cause columns to shift and settle. Sagging beams and floor joists are often the result of improper spacing of existing pier columns or weakened floor systems due to mold and wood rot. As these forces of nature occur in the space, the floors above begin to also sink and sag.

The Smartjack System permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists. A solid base of engineered fill addresses the problem of weak foundation soil by transferring the weight of the home to competent strata. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists in the space. Heavy-duty, threaded rods allow for adjustment and a custom fit for each SmartJack System installed.

The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. 

NBS was contacted by a concerned homeowner in Bessemer, MI.  This customer's foundation was severly compromised and the homeowner was concerned about total failure of her walls.  After a thorough inspection was performed, a plan to stabilize and straighten the foundation was drawn up.  To achieve stabilization NBS used Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.  To assure immediate straightening of the most affected wall seen in the before and after photos NBS excavated the exterior soil that was pushing this block wall in. The project was started in the late fall and completed in 2 days with minimal disruption to the property.
