Before & After Photos

Kristine called our team because she was experiencing settlement issues in her home. Our team installed SmartJack to stop her sagging floors. Due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space, floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues and provides immediate stabilization. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors.

Ever since the sidewalk outside of this Coloma, MI home was redone, cracks had started to show on the basement walls. The owners didn’t know what to make of the problem, but they wanted to make sure it wasn’t a threat to their foundation. When our system design specialist took a trip out to advise them, he saw the slight curve in the middle of the wall (seen in the before picture) and immediately recognized the problem as bowing walls. Walls start to bow when the pressure from expanding soil pushes the wall inward.

To stop the inward pressure before it causes the wall to completely collapse, the crew anchored the wall to outside soil with our GeoLock Wall Anchors. The anchors pull the wall back outward using steel rod tie backs, which then connect to wall plates on the interior side. The wall plates are behind the white hide-away-covers in the after photo. While not necessary for the repair, they’re a nice option for those who want to keep their walls protected and looking good at the same time.

Ruth had a bowing wall that was leaning on her deck foundation. In addition to preventing her wall from bowing further, our team also installed Push Piers. Push Piers will stop any further settlement that this wall has already caused. In addition, overtime this system should bring the foundation back to its original level. We installed the push piers deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution.

The trim on David and Stacey’s wall was separating and their drywall was cracking due to settlement issues. So they called our team and we installed SmartJack, a system that prevents settlement in your home. The rooms above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix by using steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your house. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Bill's basement walls were bowing which was causing water intrusion and other issues. So, our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.
