Before & After Photos

Ever noticed any cracks in your basement walls or maybe it not being perfectly vertical? Well this customer certainly had that problem. They wanted our help fixing their bowing walls so we drove to their home and installed Wall Anchors. Wall Anchors are the most heavy duty repair option that we have and it also repairs the wall over time. We install these by digging a tiny hole in that is a few feet away from the home. Then we drill a steel rod through a 1 inch hole in the basement wall. After that, the rod connects to an anchor that is placed in the hole of the soil. Once we place the plates on afterwards, we have permanently stabilized the basement. So that the homeowner doesn't have to worry about an unsafe basement ever again.

Brian O. contacted us because the floors above his crawl space severely sloped and needed to be leveled. He also was having a problem with the home being very humid which was happening becaues the crawl space was wet. 

To fix the wet crawl space we installed our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace makes sure no outside elements can get in and it's very sturdy so it can still be walked on and had stuff stored on it. To fix the sinking floors we installed our SmartJacks. SmartJacks are installed and then the weight of the home is transferred to them so it's not on the unlevel, sinking soil.

The homeowners in Pierso, MI were noticing that there was a slope in their floor right above the crawl space. That slope is a major sign of foundation problems and that something needs to be corrected before further damage is caused. 

Our professional team decided that the SmartJack crawl space stabalizers were the way to go. Sagging, bouncy floors indicate a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. The best way to permanently solve sagging, bouncy floor problems is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your crawl space joists. The product is designed to raise the floor back to its original level. SmartJacks are protected with a thick galvanized coating preventing them from rusting. 

Have a foundation comprised of stone or brick? Odds are, this foundation will start to give out sooner or later. When it does, like this Sherwood, MI family's did, we can repair the damage with our patented Shotcrete. Shotcrete is a sprayable, air-bubbled filled concrete that is also known as cellular concrete. Cellular concrete is resistant to freeze-thaw changes that weakens traditional concrete, is lightweight and practically self-leveling, has a fast installation process, and can easily be modified to suit multiple purposes. With Shotcrete, this family has a long-lasting solution to prevent against foundation failure. 

For this home we worked with the person selling their house, the person buying the house, and the realtor managing the entire deal. It can sometimes be tricky to please everyone in situations like this, but luckily everyone involved was great and just wanted the problem fixed.

Tthe problem in this case was a bowing basement wall. Note in the before picture that the wall greatly diverges from the level. This can lead to leaking wall cracks and, ultimately, a wall collapse. But by installing PowerBraces to stabilize and, hopefully, eventually straighten the wall, everyone involved in the house's sale can feel confident that the basement is safe.
