Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Cheryl T. called us because she had some water leaking in her basement and after inspection from one of our system design specialist it was evident that a couple of the basement walls were bowing. This can happen when the soil on the outside starts pushing on the foundation. With the homeowner we decided the use the solution of Carbon Fiber Straps to fix the walls. Carbon fiber is a very high tensile strength material which means it is literally impossible to stretch. Carbon fiber straps are a great option as long as the wall in only bowed in the middle and hasn't started sliding at the top or bottom. They also work great for those of you that have limited access on the outside of your home because of neighbors or a barn etc.

Jason and Lindsey had a long horizontal crack running the length of one of their basement walls. So they called our team and we installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized their wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall which involves minimal disturbance to your lawn.

Cracks in Robert's basement walls were allowing water in, so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them back to their original position.

As you can see, this Battle Creek home had a bowing wall in the basement that they wanted fixed. We installed CarbonArmor to the wall to keep it from cracking and moving further. CarbonArmor includes flexible carbon fiber straps that are stronger in tension than steel. The straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall using a high strength resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

Bowing walls and stair step cracks are clear signs that a basement's foundation needs to be looked at. This Battle Creek, MI basement showed evidence of bowing wall damage and water leaks coming in through the cracks, so we installed our wall anchor system to help solve the problem. Wall anchors are secured in outside soil to provide strength in prevention of any more bowing in the future and straighten the walls over time.

After this anchor was installed, we placed a clean, white cover overtop to keep the system discrete and give the basement a more finished look.
