Before & After Photos

These Kalamazoo customers were suffering from a bowing wall and wanted to put their house up for sale. The crew originally thought of using power braces to correct the failing wall, although pipes within the basement were an issue. The basement wall had vertical and horizontal cracks, which are some of the first signs of wall failure. To prevent the wall from cracking and bowing any further, the crew decided to install CarbonArmor.

The CarbonArmor system is used to reinforce bowing walls. The Fiber Reinforced Polymers are 10 times stronger than steel and have a flexible design that allows it to tightly contour your bowing wall. This system allows you to reinforce your failing wall without having to drill, which was a perfect option for these homeowners.

These customers will have their home ready to sell in no time!

There was a bowed wall in Cory and Sarah’s garage so our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized Cory and Sarah's wall. In most cases this system 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. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

The concrete near Jon’s front porch and garage needed lifted. So our team installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using polyurethane foam. This foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. This is a quite simple process and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

We sent a system design specialist out to this home in Kalamazoo because the foundation walls had horizontal cracks and it seemed as if the wall was almost tipping inward. Our system design specialists do a complete inspection inside and outside the home to ensure we offer the best advice and solution. After inspecting everything and talking it over with the homeowner, we both decided that our GeoLock Wall Anchor System would be the best fix to the cracking foundation.

GeoLock Wall Anchors are connected to earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out away from the foundation. The most unique benefit to Wall Anchors is their ability to be tightened over time which gives the wall the best chance at straightening back to its original position. Wall anchors can fix very severe bowing and leaning walls. They also solve the problem once and for all so no more worrying about your weakening foundation.

This Kalamazoo, MI home was built in 2001 and is now starting to show slight foundation concerns. There is a vertical crack in one of the basement walls that goes all the way down. While there isn't any water coming in yet the homeowners wanted to take some precautionary measures. 

Our system design specialist did a thorough inspection inside and outside the home to come up with a solution that would fix the cracking wall and suit the homeowners. The answer seemed to point right at CarbonArmor straps. Carbon Armor is flexible but unbelievably strong so it can stop the wall from bowing any further. It is also a good repair option for people who don't have much space for excavation on the outside of their home.
