Before & After Photos

Filling in wall cracks with a sealant may fix the short term problems, but the long term probably will still exist. Bowing walls can lead to some serious problems if not addressed, so give us a call for a free estimate!

This block wall foundation in Fort Thomas, KY, was pushing inward - and it was at a pretty severe stage of wall failure. We recommended that we install a wall repair system consisting of three of our PowerBraces in order to save the wall. These PowerBraces connect to the floor joists at the top will specialized brackets - which are designed to prevent floor joist movement. These brackets allow us to tighten the braces to straighten the wall out over time. You may also notice that we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also waterproofed this space by wrapping perforated drains underneath the floor, laying our dimpled membrane matting underneath the CleanSpace floor, and installing a SuperSump sump pump, (not pictured). The homeowner was not only relieved from the worry of a caving wall, but they were also happy with the added benefit of a dry and clean space.

This pier underpinning project to stabilize this sinking foundation required us to tear down a fake wall. This homeowner was a previous client of ours when we stabilized the backside of their garage. They were happy with the job we did, so they had us out again to install more piers. This time, we stabilized the front side.

This chimney in Pleasant Hill, Ohio was showing signs of settlement, creating both structural concerns and visible separation from the home. Using two helical piers, we stabilized & lifted the chimney foundation, which puts the chimney back up against the home and halts further movement. The "before" photo show the misalignment caused by the settling, while the "after" image highlights a secure, reinforced foundation and restored alignment. A clean, lasting solution to a serious problem.

In order to stabilize this bowed in wall, we installed our PowerBrace system. Our PowerBraces aren't just your normal steel beams. They are designed to distribute the weight of the walls evenly all throughout the brace, which will prevent damage to the floor joists. They are also easily installed and adjustable, which allows us to straighten the wall out over time. They also look very clean, are very durable, and are coated in zinc which prevents rust.
