Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

John owned a 1960's home in St Joseph that was a bilevel on a hill. The exposed foundation of the home had an extensive network of stair step cracking that the owner wanted stabilized so he could begin construction for a second level. We used Push Piers because they are the best option for unknown soil conditions and reaches the greatest depth to support the foundation. The installation is fast, effective, and the soil is back filled afterwards. The piers not only stabilize the home but can lift the foundation back to the correct level.

One of Carol's basement walls was bowing. Knowing it would cause more issues in the future, Carol contacted our team. We installed the PowerBrace system in order to keep her walls secure. In addition, over time the system can be tightened to not only stabilize the wall, but to also straighten it to its original position.

The wall was starting to bow. Stairstep cracks are a tell-tale sign that the soil outside your home is putting too much pressure on the foundation walls.  The owner said that was no cracks in the upper levels of the house, thankfully. 

Wall anchors work well to fix almost any type of bowing wall. They are also installed independently of the floor system so there's no additional stress on floor joists. It works to straighten your wall over time because it can be tightened. The only time this system isn't possible is if there isn't ample room on the outside of your home to install the system.

Mark had a bowing wall that he wanted fixed so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, but 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.

There was a bowed wall in Nicholas and Katie's basement, so our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System. In most cases this system can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. In addition, this system permanently stabilizes walls. It is installed by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall and is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.
