Wall Failure in Evansdale, IA

This homeowner had a block foundation wall that was bowing in and he was concerned that the wall was going  to collapse. After getting a few estimates, he knew that he needed our help and expertise to fix his bowing wall.

We sent System Design Specialist Mike Portel to inspect the bowing wall and determine what was causing this. Mike found that the soil on the outside of the block wall foundation, causing the wall foundation to fall inwards. He also noticed that there were cracks in the wall that appeared to have grown over time. Mike and the team installed PowerBraces so that the homeowner could move his foundation walls back to their position over time.

The homeowner was very happy with the quality of work and with the professionalism of the group. Check out his new PowerBrace System. 

Sagging and Bouncing Floors Fixed

When our team walked into this home through the front door, there was an obvious bounce in the floor. Upon investigation, the floor was being held up by telephone poles that were cut to fit but they were not strong enough to hold keep holding the home up. Also, the floor was not level. The homeowner was concerned about the bounce and the ability of the floor to withstand weight since it was not supported very well. We fixed the problem by adding SmartJacks to the crawlspace to hold up the floor. There are 2 supplemental beams that run the length of the house. We added 5 Smartjacks to the front of the home and 5 more SmartJacks to the back of the home. We also added a supplemental beam in-between the existing cinderblock supports to finish supporting the house/floor from sagging and bouncing.  

 

Restoring the floor of a leaky garage

The floor of this garge simply crumbled and cracked during the installation of the waterproofing system.  The original pour of this concrete was horrible.  It was not mixed correctly and was certainly too thin.  We completely removed the floor, waterproofed the garage and restored the floor.
