Before & After Photos

This home was built in the 1940s and in recent years one of the basement walls had begun to develop a crack and bow about a half inch. To prevent further bowing and ensure that the wall will continue to hold for several years into the future we installed a series of CarbonArmor straps both horizontally and vertically. These CarbonAmor straps are fully epoxied and are stronger than cement and 10 times stronger than steel. The epoxy on these straps is a syrup-like consistency that penetrates deep into the pores of the wall to ensure a secure bond with the wall. When it comes to preventing any further bowing, these straps are incredibly reliable. 

This Holt condo has a retaining wall in the backyard that is cracked and is tilting in towards the home. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to save the wall and the home. These anchors are made of galvanized steel and work by extending from the wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond the wall. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the wall, preventing any further movement. 

Richard called us because he had a three season room that had a sinking corner. The sinking support posts were causing issues like windows getting stuck and the floors becoming unleveled. We used SmartJacks support posts to stabilize the sinking corner. The SmartJacks are attached to the floor joists and have a sturdy base. Once installed, the posts can be adjusted to raise the floors back to the original level.

A bowing wall in Dylan’s basement was beginning to form cracks as well. To fix this problem our team installed the PowerBrace foundation repair system on his wall. This system will immediately stop the wall from bowing and cracking more. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

This 100 year old home in Mishawaka has sagging floors. Phillip bought the home to renovate it and has finished redoing the exterior. His next project is the basement but he knows the floors need to have a better solution than the temporary one he had put up. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the main level floors and raise them back to the original level. They are steel posts that attach to the floor joists and have a stable base at the floor- they are cemented to the ground. The posts are adjustable anytime for the home in case it needs it, providing a permanent solution to the sagging floor!
