Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

On this job, our team installed PowerBraces™ along the walls of the basement. Over time, as water in the ground saturates the backfill soil around the foundation, it causes hydrostatic pressure that puts stress on the foundational walls of their basement. So the best method to fix this would be to install PowerBraces™. This will permanently stabilize the walls of the basement, ensuring that the walls won't collapse on each other in the future. Giving the customer some peace of mind knowing our product will keep them and their homes safe. 

Homeowners in Godfrey, IL had cracks forming on the walls of their basement indicating signs of wall failure. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

On this job, our team installed PowerBraces™ along the walls of the basement to permanently stabilize the basement's foundational walls. Our team also installed WaterGuards™ along the footing of the walls to prevent water from seeping in; a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to pump out water from the basement to the yard; and IceGuards™ to help prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines. These installations will give the customer some reassurance and peace knowing their basement walls are permanently stabilized and protected from future water leaks.  

A foundation in Westville, IL was settling, causing cracks to form in several places. To fix this, the powerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation, eliminate any further inward movement, and reverse the effects of wall failure. It will also straighten the walls back to their original position and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable for years to come!

Crawlspace support posts were failing in Chrisman, IL, causing the floor above to shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!
