Before & After Photos

Brandon called us to take a look at a large diagonal crack in his Michigan-style basement. His concern was that the crack would become more severe as the wall slowly failed. If left alone, Brandon was very right. Cracks like these don't just get better. It was only going to get worse unless something was done.

The best solution in this case was a series of 3 PowerBraces. These zinc-coated steel I-beams help to support the home above and evenly distribute the weight that they're supporting. They extend from the floor to ceiling where they connect to the joists at the top of the wall. What makes these beams unique from other I-beams is that they feature a tightening system at the top which allows the homeowner or our service team to possibly straighten and improve the condition of the wall over time. When we fix walls, we fix them with solutions that are intended to be a "once and for all" fix. Brandon won't be losing any sleep over this crack in the years to come.

Geeta needed help leveling her porch because a concrete slab was sinking. 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.

This home in Portage, MI had some stair-step cracks in the foundation wall. Most of the time this happens from the soil outside your foundation walls expanding. This home had a special case where a tree root was actually causing the wall to bow inward and create the cracks they were seeing inside their home. 

To take care of the cracks we installed our PowerBrace system. PowerBraces can be tightened to allow for improvement of the wall over time. They are also zinc coated so you don't have to worry about them rusting out. These are also a good option if you don't have room for excavation on the outside of your home.

We were called when the customers noticed they had two bowing walls in the basment that were causing leaks as well as cracking outside the house. They were planning on selling the home so they needed to walls fixed before they could do that.

We installed GeoLock Anchors to halt the movemnt of the wall. GeoLock Anchors are made of steel and are suspended into hard, stable soil. They anchor into the stronger soil to brace the foundation wall and keep any further movment from happening. The installation causes very minimal disturbance to your yard and they dont take up usable space in your basement!

Our team installed PowerBrace in a customer's home because his basement walls were bowed. Knowing this would continue to affect the foundation of his home he called our team. PowerBrace is a foundation repair system that secures basement walls in place. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.
