Before & After Photos

We’d all be lying if we said we’ve never awkwardly tripped on an uneven sidewalk before…not only are they an eyesore, but uneven concrete slabs are also a serious hazard. The picture of this front walkway of a Berrien Center, MI home fits the previous description to T.

The owners of this home sought out our experienced foundation experts for an effective remedy: PolyLevel. This state of the art approach to leveling concrete combines mudjacking with today’s technology, and is an effective alternative to completely replacing the concrete slab. Small holes were drilled into the concrete before high-density polymers were injected, raising the slab to its original level. What’s even better is that PolyLevel has a quick drying time and can be walked on in as little as 15 minutes. Thanks to PolyLevel this front walkway is as good looking as it is safe. 

Cara and Lee built an inclosed sunroom a few years ago to replace their back porch. Recently, the windows and doors have been sticking, the floors have been sagging, and cracks have appeared in the walls. The different issues they were encountering are usually caused by settlement issues, so Cara and Lee called our team for help. We installed helical piers to stop the settlement and overtime bring the foundation back to its original level. The helical piers were installed deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution.

The cracks on the foundation walls of this Bremen, IN home were the first signs of a compromised wall structure. By the time we showed up, the walls were bowing due to soil pressure.

We immediately installed these GeoLock wall anchors to help prevent further bowing. These anchors are installed with one plate on the inside of the wall connected via a cable to another plate that is anchored in stable soil around the home. Wall anchors not only provide immediately stability to the walls, we can tighten the cable over time to straighten the walls.

Those white squares you see are covers we install over the steel anchors so they're not an eyesore. 

This crawl space was under both home and exterior deck. When the owners noticed a large crack on the deck’s concrete slab, they began to get a little worried about the foundation. Our system design specialist went out for a visit and found out that the cinderblock foundation was actually starting to sink. With foundation went the floor joists in the crawl space, which was also the floor of the deck. In the after photo, you can see the solution our crew provided: the SmartJack system. The SmartJacks can be raised to whatever height levels out the floor joists above them, and they are also installed into the foundation floor to maintain that stability. No part of this crawl space or the structures that depend on it should sink again.

Cracking in several different places was occurring in Don’s driveway. So our team installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. It is a simple process and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.
