Before & After Photos

Al was having foundational issues with the floor in his home. He called our team and we installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system that stops your floors from sagging. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization. 

Power Braces are a great tool that provides immediate stabilization to a foundation but also straightens the wall over time. They are inserted without any digging - anywhere- which allows for a clean swift installation appointment.

Cracking and bowing foundation walls are a serious problem not only for your house, but also obviously for your family. That is why this family in Traverse City reached out to our expert team, who recommended our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system to solve their foundation issue. Steel I-beams are secured to joints above the wall and support the bowing, tilting, and buckling foundation walls. With the PowerBrace system in place, the family can now be confident that they are safe from a foundation collapse.

Problems with your foundation walls can be a pain, but if you don't get them taken care of quickly, they can become a nightmare. That's why Nancy called us as soon as she noticed a problem. Her wall was beginning to bow, which created cracks. These cracks then lead to water leakage. If problems like these don't get taken care of quickly, one thing continuously leads to another over and over again. That's what was beginning to happen here, but luckily Nancy took care of it right away.

We went out to take a look for ourselves, and we knew right away that our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System was the solution. In terms of stabilizing foundation walls, it doesn't get any better than PowerBrace. 

This system uses steel beams to properly secure the joists and prevent any further damage from taking place. PowerBrace can be important to customers not only because it stabilizes the walls, but also because the beams are zinc coated which makes the system resistant to any corrosion, also creating a non-toxic surface. This is what sets the PowerBrace system above any other system, because other systems typically either use uncoated or painted beams, meaning that they are far more susceptible to corrosion.

Thanks to the PowerBrace system, Nancy's wall is now stabilized and will avoid any further foundation troubles. 

The owners of this Traverse City, MI building first became aware of their foundation problem when they noticed one of the most common signs of a bowing wall: the large stair step cracks in the before picture. When expanding soils push on walls, the pressure can become too much for a foundation to handle and will force the walls to bend inward. Bowing walls can cause numerous problems for your foundation and in some cases, mean the end of the structural integrity altogether. The solution in the after photo is our Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System. By attaching the wall plates in the picture to Geo Anchors outside, the wall can no longer bend inward. Not only will the system of steel rods, wall plates, and anchors stop the bowing motion - given enough time, the walls may even return to their upright position.
