Before & After Photos

This customer noticed the addition on his home was sinking year after year. The addition was built on poorly compacted soil, resulting in settlement. Cleveland Basement Systems installed heliacal piers on either side of the addition in order to permanently stabilize it. Helical piers have helix-shaped blades welded to the shaft that allow them to be mechanically screwed into the ground. The before picture shows how the crew prepped the foundation for the piers. Installers then used specialized hydraulic equipment to drill the piers into the ground and attach steel foundation brackets  to the foundation's footing. Through the helical piers, the weight of the addition is transferred onto load-bearing soils below the surface. Helical piers are a great solution to stabilizing a lighter structure, like additions, that have settled. This customer can have peace of mind that their home is structurally supported. 

Old, rusted piers were degrading the structural integrity of this crawl space. The SmartJacks system lifted the beams of this crawl space to the right level and will never rust or deteriorate! 

This customer was experiencing bowing walls on her basement walls. CarbonArmor was installed and provided high tinsel strength to prevent further bowing. 

A homeowner noticed horizontal cracks in his basement and wanted to fix them before it got worse. Cleveland Basement Systems installed the CarbonArmor System which uses fiber-reinforced polymers to create a strong adhesion between the fiber fabric and walls. 

This foundation was shifting and needed permanently stabilized. Using GeoLock anchors, heavy-duty earth anchors were embedded in stable soil that are connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. This system can be tightened during dry seasons, allowing your walls to completely straighten over time. Installers make sure once they are done, to cover the ground with the dirt and make it look good as new.
