Before & After Photos

Henry called about some cracks between the blocks in his basement walls. Upon inspection, we found some stairstep cracking but even more prominent was a large horizontal crack where the wall was bowing quite extensively. If allowed to continue, the wall would eventually cave in. At that point, you're obviously looking to do a total wall replacement. Instead, by acting early, we were able to properly support the home and prevent any further bowing with galvanized steel PowerBraces along the wall. The Braces are essentially a steel I-beam that extend from the floor to the joists above. At the top they actually feature a unique tightening system that allows the homeowner or our service team to adjust the braces over time, potentially improving the condition of the wall little by little. These PowerBraces are a permanent fix that the Henry can put his trust in.

This family in Holland, MI gave us a call when they saw their foundation wall bowing to a point of danger. After a professional and free inspection, we determined that our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system would do the job to fix their problem. PowerBrace stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls by using steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall. With this installment, there is no chance this foundation will cause any more dangerous problems for this home.

There was a horizontal crack about fifteen feet long on Thomas’s basement wall. So our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System which permanently stabilized his wall. In most cases it can eventually push the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to Thomas's lawn and home.

Various parts of Jim's concrete were sinking making his driveway uneven. So our team installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

Lee called us because he was selling his home to his brother and had some concerning foundation problems he wanted to address before the sale. It's quite obvious that the bowing wall pictured is severe. It has a large horizontal crack and some stair step cracking going on as well. Fixing your foundation isn't something that should be taken lightly. It's important to hire a trustworthy, experienced contractor and one that offers a solution that will be effective and suit your needs.

Our system design specialist and Lee sat down and agreed together that installing our PowerBrace system was going to be the best method to fixing the foundation of this home. There are many differently methods that could have worked for this but PowerBraces will overtime actually straighten the wall back its original position. They are zinc coated so no concers of rust. The best part too is that these beams don't require any drilling or digging so the process is pretty noninvasive and is a permanent fix.
