Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Battle Creek needed help with the basement foundation walls because she noticed that they were beginning to bow. We drove to her property and installed PowerBraces among many things. Power Braces are an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls and attached to the floor joists above it. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes in order to correct the wall over time. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. This system is zinc coated so it is fully resistant to corrosion.  Now, this homeowner should never have to worry about a weak foundation ever again.

Cheryl T. called us because she had some water leaking in her basement and after inspection from one of our system design specialist it was evident that a couple of the basement walls were bowing. This can happen when the soil on the outside starts pushing on the foundation. With the homeowner we decided the use the solution of Carbon Fiber Straps to fix the walls. Carbon fiber is a very high tensile strength material which means it is literally impossible to stretch. Carbon fiber straps are a great option as long as the wall in only bowed in the middle and hasn't started sliding at the top or bottom. They also work great for those of you that have limited access on the outside of your home because of neighbors or a barn etc.

Cheryl from Battle Creek, MI was having issues with the walls in her basement bowing outward. With extended observation, she could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack that formed in one of her walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet! Cheryl became noticeably frightened about her wall and called us in search of professional help. We went to her home and devised a complete solution consisting of 15 Carbon Armor straps. The Carbon Armor wall reinforcement system is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. These straps are made from a fiber reinforced polymer that's ten times stronger than steel and is specifically designed for this purpose. Using high strength epoxy resin, the straps are attached the wall and secured with heavy duty steel brackets. Carbon Armor straps improve the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. The best part is that this system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Cheryl can remain calm knowing her walls will eventually return to their proper position.

Jason and Lindsey had a long horizontal crack running the length of one of their basement walls. So they called our team and we installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized their wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall which involves minimal disturbance to your lawn.

The back wall of Lori’s house is cracking, however she is looking to refinance her home soon. She knows that this will affect the refinancing of her home so she called our team. We installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor fixes damaged or bowing walls which are both very serious problems and can cause even more serious problems if they aren't fixed properly. CarbonArmor prevents the inward movement of your walls and reduces their cracks. In addition, this system is perfect for Lori because it can easily be concealed in order to give your basement a finished, sleek look.
