Foundation Services Before & After Photos

This basement wall was bowing in due to external pressure from the outsides of the basement. Hydro-static pressure combined with soil movement is able to do some nasty damage, especially to susceptible block foundations. We installed PowerBraces where the pressure was the most dangerous to the walls. 

This home had the corner of their home splitting apart due to foundation soil shifting. We installed helical piers to fix the problem. 

When a foundation wall is caught early on in the bowing process, we like to use Carbon Armor to stabilize the wall back to health. The best thing about Carbon Armor is it is really easy to install and really flexible. After the first layer of epoxy is applied to the wall, we then lay the carbon fiber strip to the wall, we then apply another couple layers of epoxy. The wall is saved after that. 

This home in Wyoming, Ohio was experiencing some issues with settling. The customer specifically noted their floors were sloping throughout the house, and they had a crawl space that was 2 feet high. We were able to stabilize this sinking foundation by installing a system of helical piers along the side of the home that was sinking. As you can see, the footing on this home was probably not deep enough to prevent settling. Either way, we were able to combat this problem by ensuring our piers were attached correctly to the foundation, driven into load-bearing strata, and we even lifted the home a little bit with our hydraulic system. You can see the hydraulic system in the before picture by looking at the attached red and blue hoses. We were able to straighten out the floors in the home and were able to ensure the home won't settle any more. 

Our helical piers were installed in this house's foundation to save the house from sinking. The piers cause little disturbance and are invisible!
