Before & After Photos

First things first, you will not be able to fix a bowing wall without the help of professionals. Your basement is the foundation of your home and if that wall falls your entire home could fall with it, so it's important to take care of a bowing or leaning wall as soon as possible. 

For this home in Charlotte, MI we were able to use our Wall Anchor's to fix this wall that was leaning from the pressure of the soil outside of it. These are the best option to bring a wall back to its original position over time. The installation is also fairly quick but you must have room outside of your house so if you have neighbors very close we can discuss other options with you. 

Charlene & Kevin from Charlotte, MI were having issues with the walls in their basement bowing outward. With continuing observation, they could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack in one of their walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet. This couple became observably frightened about their walls future and called us in search of professional help. We went to their home and devised a complete solution consisting of twelve PowerBraces. The PowerBrace system encompasses adjustable steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall, offering revolutionary support. The PowerBrace improves the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Charlene & Kevin can remain calm knowing their walls will eventually return to their proper position.

Denise had noticed stair step cracks on her basement wall and took the issue into her own hands. She filled the cracks with traditional sealant because it was advertised as a quick fix. Luckily, she called us because stair step cracks are a tell tale sign of foundation issues and there is no "quick fix" for foundation problems.

Our team determined that her basement walls were still in the early stages of cracking. This meant that our team could install Wall Anchors, which are braces that hold your wall still and will prevent the issue from getting worse. These wall anchors are a permanent solution for Denise's stair step cracks and our team even covered the the cracks to make her basement more appealing.

Kim called Ayers after noticing her foundation support was getting weaker and causing the floors to sag. We conducted a free inspection and from this our System Design Specialists were able to recommend SmartJacks as the solution. SmartJacks are a supplemental support system that will protect her home from sagging beams or floor joists. It will restore stability and straightness to her sagging floors by attaching the steel support columns to a sturdy base at the floor. They will raise her floors to a level position and ensure her home's safety!

While preparing to sell their house, our customers were told by a home inspector that they had to get a few cracks in the basement wall repaired before he could clear it. They hadn't gotten it looked at before because there was hardly any water coming in, but hardly any isn't "none," so they knew they had to take his advice.

We installed two FlexiSpan wall crack repair systems, which will seal the cracks and are flexible enough to move with the wall as water leads it to shift.
