Foundation Repair Photo Album: Crumbling Foundation in Delton, MI in Need of Repair

This home was built around the 1940's and was showing some major signs of age and the soil around the foundation had settled. Some of the block foundation wall had actually fallen and needed to be completey replaced. The homeowner also noticed that the doors and windows in the home were sticking which is another sign of the foundation settling. The floor on the first level needed to be lifted back up to its original position. There were also some very old windows that needed to be replaced as they were allowing moisture and unwanted outside elements into the basement. This home needed some of its foundation and other problems taken care of and they definitely called the right people for the job. We installed SmartJacks to lift the foundation back it's original position. We also replaced the block wall that had fallen and sprayed foam insulation where the ceiling and walls meet to make sure this basement is completely sealed off. Lastly, we were able to replace all three of the windows in the basement with our Everlast Slider windows.

Foundation Wall Fell Apart

This shows a part of the foundation that literally fell. With the settling foundation it moved so much that it crumbled and broke apart.

This is a picture inside the basement that shows how much of the foundation had actually fallen apart. No worries though, we fixed the wall and made it look new again.

Water Coming In Basement From Floor

It's not uncommon for water to get into your basement from cracks in the floor. The good news though is that this can be fixed so you can have ease of mind and a dry basement.

Cracks Inside Your Home is a Sign Your Foundation is Moving

One of the first signs in your home that your foundation is settling is your doors and windows will begin to stick and be a little more difficult to open and close. Cracks will also then begin to form and if not taken care of will keep getting bigger and bigger until you have a major problem on your hands.

Old Windows Can Cause More Problems Than You Realize

Old windows usually start leaking and allow water into your basement. They also can allow cold air in, in the winter and hot air in the summer. New windows can help reduce the costs of your energy bills. Also there will be no need to seal them off with plastic anymore.

New Windows Give Home a Face Lift

New windows anywhere in your home can make all the difference in the world. They can reduce energy costs, less noisy on those windy days, and look great on the outside.

SmartJacks Lift Sinking Floor

The floor above this basement was beginning to sag. This could be from the foundation settling or the members could be weakening due to moisture and wood rot over time.

Block Walls Replaced

This picture shows the block wall that we replaced. This basement is now sealed off again and can fully support the weight of the home above it with the assistance of our SmartJacks system that was also installed.
