Before & After Photos

This Elm City home was showing serious signs of foundation settlement most notably stair-step cracks across the brick wall and visible separation between the structure and the soil. Upon inspection, we found unstable soil conditions and pooling water around the footing, which had contributed to the shifting and settling over time.

To solve the issue, our crew installed helical piers, anchoring the foundation deep into stable, load-bearing soil. This method not only stopped further movement but provided an opportunity to lift and stabilize the affected section of the home.

Now, the area has been fully restored. The cracks are no longer worsening, the soil has been regraded and straw-covered, and the home’s structural integrity is secure. From visible distress to lasting peace of mind this transformation is exactly what foundation support should look like.

Helical piers stabilize a foundation by anchoring it to stable soil deep underground. They prevent further settlement or shifting caused by poor soil conditions, such as expansive clay or erosion.

Installing the PowerBrace system in parallel enhances structural stability by distributing loads evenly and providing consistent support across the structure. This configuration improves the building's resistance to lateral forces, ensuring greater overall strength and durability.

Ripped plastic, water damage, and falling insulation were throughout this crawl space. The issues posed by these factors often result with inconsistent home temperatures, breathing or health issues, and even strange smells. We cleaned it out completely and installed our own patented products designed to protect a crawl space and keep the air quality as high as possible.

Water seepage had begun in this basement. The physical signs on the walls was proof enough for the homeowners to act. This internal waterproofing system with a sump pump and vapor barrier on the wall has dramatically improved the basement’s air quality and reduced mold growth.
