Dewitt Driveway Fixed with PolyLevel

This 3-car driveway in Dewitt, MI had recently cracked and sunk in some areas. The homeowners wanted a long-lasting alternative to replacing the concrete slabs, so they decided to go with the PolyLevel system. Similar to mudjacking, PolyLevel involves injecting the slab with a material to help raise the slabs back to their original. However, unlike Mudjacking which involves larger injections of mud and concrete, PolyLevel uses high-density polymers and small injection holes. This material is 30 times lighter and is fast-drying, so the driveway can be driven on within 15 minutes of installation. PolyLevel gives this driveway a major repair, in record time.

PowerBrace System Reinforced Unstable Wall in Dewitt, MI

Missy and Dan L. contacted us because they had unstable joists in their home that needed added support to eliminate sagging floors above. The block foundation wall in the basement was cracked and unstable, which was causing the floor joists to weaken and sag. We installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and support the joists. Steel I-beams that stretched the length of the wall were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attached to the joists above the wall. Once the system was secured into place with steel brackets, the beams acted as braces to hold the wall in place while potentially shifting it back to its proper position over time.

Cracked Wall Repair in Dewitt, MI Basement

Pam K. of Dewitt, MI had a crack in her basement wall that was causing the foundation to slant. This creates a serious issue for the structural integrity of the home and Pam needed a solution. Good thing for her, we had one.

We installed our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. The PowerBrace system is a wall repair system that stabilizes tilting, bucking, cracked or bowing foundation walls. PowerBrace uses steel I-beams that attached to the joists above the wall to provide maximum support. And even better, the system can be tighter over time to eventually bring your basement wall back to near its original position.

 

PowerBraces Support Bowing Wall in Dewitt, MI

We were contacted for this job because the real estate agent had used us before for another water problem. She said it really helped the sale of the house and thinks it will help again. This house had a very severe bowing wall that needed the attention of professionals. 

We were able to install our PowerBraces to help fix this wall and return it to its original position over time. PowerBraces are made of steel and zinc coated so they won't rust. They can be tightened as the wall moves which is what allows the wall to go back to its original position. PowerBraces are a good option if you don't have room on the outside of your home for excavation. 

Shotcrete Saves Crumbling Dewitt, MI Basement

Rich and Cecelia have lived in their home for 47 years and want to spend the rest of their lives there. The foundation was made of old stone and the walls were crumbling around them. Moisture and standing water were a given after any rainstorm. After an initial inspection our crew determined that Shotcrete would be the perfect solution to their problem. Shotcrete is a sprayable concrete that stabilizes basement walls and fills any holes that let in unwanted water or air. It's applied though a high-pressure hose. The extra air propelling the concrete out is what makes the Shotcrete able to be applied to vertical and sloping services. Rich and Cecelia were beyond grateful for our efforts in making sure their home is safe for them for their rest of their lives.
