Before & After Photos

The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by external pressure over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remained stable, our PowerBrace system was employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specifically designed to spread the wall’s weight across the basement floor and ceiling joists, prevent further damage to these areas. These braces are straightforward to install, typically taking just one day, and can gradually restore the wall to its original position. Additionally, their flexible design allows them to be fitted around obstacles, such as a fuse box.

Experiencing sticky doors in your home? What about cracked brick? If so, your house may be settling. We can fix it though with our helical pier system. Our pier system also includes hydraulic lifts that can actually lift your foundation back.

This homeowner was having problems with their chimney sinking away from the home. Often times, chimneys have their own foundation and are very heavy, making them sink into the ground. We installed helical piers at the base of the chimney, and raised the base back to where it originally was installed. If you think you have a settling, sinking chimney, be sure to give us a call for a free & honest diagnosis!

The main beam in the ceiling of this basement had become warped from excessive use. To add extra support and to stop the floors from sagging from the floor above, we installed SmartJacks and a supplemental beam across the main beam. The result was a success. 

The outside brick on this home was cracking in a stair-step pattern. This happens when a house settles because the first place to crack is the weakest point in the structure. In this case, the mortar between the brick was the weakest link, so it was the first sign to show. We stabilized the sinking foundation by lifting the house back with our helical pier system. If you see cracking like this with your home, be sure to give us a call so we can give a free & honest diagnosis.
