Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

 A dirty, musty Elkhart basement received an unwanted host of spiders in the crawl space. A 1970s home's unsealed crawl space was letting in water and unwanted pests, mainly spiders. Upon inspection, our systems specialist did not find mold but noticed a heavy smell of mildew, indicating there were cracks that needed to be sealed because insects and moisture were seeping in. The cracks were likely due to the home's unstable foundation. Helical piers were set in place (not pictured) to restore the home to a stable foundation. A vapor barrier was then installed in the crawl space to eliminate moisture and points of entry for spiders.

Homeowners in Decatur, MI were concerned about potential tree instruction in their basement, causing the bowing of their block foundation's walls. Motar had stretched apart into significant gaps, walls were bowing in about 2-3 inches, and the cracks were holding together with a DIY fix. After a free estimate inspection, it was evident that the homeowners needed to repair their home. Our specialist provided a few solutions, and they agreed on the installation of Everbrace, PowerBrace and CarbonArmor not only to halt further damage but to promise reinforcement for years to come.
