Before & After Photos

A basement was having several structural issues in Wentzville, MO. First, the floors in the house were sagging, due to the support beams failing in the basement. next, the foundation was shifting, causing it to crack and leak water. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement. They will lift the floors above them to their original position, and keep them in place. Next, 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. Lastly, a partial CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will act as a drain curtain that will make sure that any water that comes down the walls can drain directly into the perimeter drainage system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry all the time!

A basement foundation was cracking in Wentzville, MO, and the cracks were beginning to leak water. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was first installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  Next, the Cleanspace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump to then be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry all the time!
