Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Evan has a wall in his basement that had a horizontal crack that is 3-4 feet long causing the wall to bow. We used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the basement wall. The System is made of flexible carbon fiber straps that are stronger in tension than steel. The straps are bonded to the interior face of the wall using a high strength resin. The CarbonArmor does not require exterior excavation, it installs quickly, and they won't impact future basement finishing.

One customer in Kalamazoo had a Foundation that was not so strong in their crawl space. This problem can easily lead to sagging floors, which is a huge safety hazard. As you can see, thsi previous foundation is not safe at all. So we replaced it with the best solution, SmartJacks. SmartJacks are adjustable, strong support systems that are perfect for girders and floor joists. It can hold over 60,000 pounds! This long-term solution made the foundation stronger than ever before. 

There was a bowed wall in Cory and Sarah’s garage so our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized Cory and Sarah's wall. In most cases this system can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

These Kalamazoo customers were suffering from a bowing wall and wanted to put their house up for sale. The crew originally thought of using power braces to correct the failing wall, although pipes within the basement were an issue. The basement wall had vertical and horizontal cracks, which are some of the first signs of wall failure. To prevent the wall from cracking and bowing any further, the crew decided to install CarbonArmor.

The CarbonArmor system is used to reinforce bowing walls. The Fiber Reinforced Polymers are 10 times stronger than steel and have a flexible design that allows it to tightly contour your bowing wall. This system allows you to reinforce your failing wall without having to drill, which was a perfect option for these homeowners.

These customers will have their home ready to sell in no time!

This Kalamazoo, MI Garage wall has seen better days. The concrete garage wall had an enormous horizontal crack spanning the length of the whole wall. Not only is this a scary sight for any homeowner, but the fear of knowing this wall can erupt any moment would send shivers down any spine. Not to worry, we have a solution for this problem. Our PowerBrace system was installed to anchor this wall to provide stability and support. These steel I-beam are placed along different sections of the wall, stretching floor to ceiling in length, and are secured into place with steel brackets. The anchors have the ability overtime to straighten this wall back out to its normal position.
