Before & After Photos

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.

When this building was moved to Okemos, MI, the owner thought that it would be a fresh start for his company but the foundation had other plans. The soil that the building was placed on wasn’t strong enough to stop the crawl space from sinking and threatening to bring the whole foundation with it. Luckily, there’s a place in Lansing, MI that knows everything there is to know about crawl spaces and foundation repair.

When the crew arrived they saw that the crawl space was being held in place by several wood planks trying their best. Our SmartJacks are galvanized steel jacks designed to raise sagging structures. Unlike wood, the steel beams won’t decay from the elements or humidity that commonly occur in crawl spaces. The crew had to do more than just lift the crawl space, they also had to reinforce and stabilize the worn floor joists. All in all, it took 6 different smart jacks and 28 supplemental support beams to keep this foundation from giving in.

If your crawl space is sinking, don’t wait to call. The structural integrity of your home depends on it.  

This customer called because he noticed his wall was caving inward and he was afraid it was going to collapse. His home was built with block foundation and was experiencing horizontal cracking, which is a common sign of wall failure in this type of foundation wall. In order to save the wall our crew decided that installing Geo-Lock wall anchors would be the best bet.

The Geo-Lock wall anchor system will stabilize the wall and prevent it from continuing to bow inward. Steel anchors are installed in the soil away from the home and are then connected to steel wall plates located on the foundation wall. These anchors ensure the wall is stabilized, with the capability to tighten the anchors during dry seasons to straighten the wall over time. This customer will no longer have to worry about the possibility of his wall collapsing.  

SmartJacks are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists. The heavy duty system has been laboratory tested to support loads of more than 60,000 pounds (that's a lot of weight). Being able to support that much weight makes SmartJacks a great option to stablize sagging floors and any walls and belongings on top of that floor. 

This customer contacted us because she was having some remodeling work done and the contractor doing the work was concerned about the sagging floors and foundation because there were cracks in the ceiling and walls. She was also planning to move within the year so we were able to restore her properties value with these heavy duty SmartJacks.

One homeowner in Okemos, MI called us about their sagging floors. So, we drove to their property to give them a free estimate, we found the root of the problem which is the foundation of the floors in the basement. The floors needed to be reinforced so that they wouldn't sag so we installed our advanced SmartJack technology. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now, this homeowner won't have sagging floors ever again.
