Foundation Services Before & After Photos

Greene County has many homes experiencing foundation settlement, like seen in this home. Stair-step cracking on the outside brick of the home was the surest sign of settlement. We stabilized the foundation by installing steel piers to the footers of the foundation. If you are experiencing foundation settlement, be sure to give us a call for a free estimate.

This bowed wall was very much a cause of concern for the people living above. The gap you see in the middle of the wall is most likely where the frost line is in the dirt outside of the basement. The frost line often correlates with where a wall bows inward because it is where the most pressure is exerted on the wall over time. We fixed the bowed wall by installing our PowerBrace system. The PowerBraces are designed to prevent floor joist damage, unlike other commonly seen repairs. They are also designed to stay rust free, and possibly straighten the wall back out over time. If you are considering a bowed wall repair, be sure to ask questions about the what the repair was designed to do by the installers.

Many homes in the Hillsboro area are experiencing a certified draught, which is causing settlement issues for many homes. For this home, their back porch was sinking because of dried up soil, and so we installed piers to stabilize it. If you are experiencing a sinking foundation in the Hillsboro area, be sure to give us a call for a free inspection. 

The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by bowing over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remain stable, our PowerBrace system can be employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specially 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.

The great thing about piers are that they are completely concealed once the job is done. In this case, one could argue that the area actually looks better after we installed piers through the concrete. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and treating others properties like our own. The piers we installed will stop the patio from settling any further.
