Before & After Photos

Notice horizontal cracks in your foundation wall? External forces may be causing it to bow inward. Our PowerBrace system can straighten them out!

This poured foundation in Cleves, OH, was caving inwards, causing horizontal cracks to form. This foundation was also leaking due to massive amounts of hydrostatic pressure weighing in on the basement from outside the foundation in the expansive clay soil. We repaired this basement by waterproofing it with a sump pump, interior drainage tile, and a vapor barrier. We then stabilized the bowing walls with our PowerBrace system. The result is a stable, dry, fresh basement.

The owner of this home in Harrison, OH, gave us a call because they noticed a large horizontal crack had developed across a wall in their basement. The homeowner caught their crack very early on in the failure process, which allowed us to quote them our CarbonArmor repair method. Our carbon straps are a relatively new technology, and they allow us to stabilize walls without having to do any drilling, excavating, or jackhammering. However, they can only be used in certain situations where the wall failure hasn't advanced too far. They are installed by applying a strong epoxy resin to the wall, adhering the straps to the wall, adding brackets to secure to the straps to the ceiling, and then covering the straps again with an epoxy topcoat. These straps are very thin and can be finished with a paint, which homeowners love. Because they take up little space and can be painted, homeowners can either add a finished wall system, or just conceal them with paint. 

This home had a wall that had a long horizontal crack from a shifting foundation. We installed helical piers to close the crack back together, and to stop the foundation from shifting again. 

This home in Verona, KY, had a crack sprawling from the top corner of the door frame up to the roof. This crack was a sure sign of settling, and was cause for us to install our pier system. By underpinning the foundation with our helical pier system, we were able to stabilize and lift the footing of the home, helping close the crack. This pier system is backed by our lifetime warranty that the structure will never move vertically again.
