Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer had a garage wall that was cracked, bowing inward and he believed it was starting to settle as well. The garage wall had been like this for almost 3 years but it was time to get it fixed before the entire garage collapsed. 

We were able to install our wall anchor system to fix this garage wall. We placed 5 anchors on the wall that will work over-time to straighten it back to its original position. Wall anchors are very versatile because they can fix bowing walls, walls that are pushing in at the botttom and even ones that are just tipping in at the top. These anchors are also not attached to the floor system so you don't have to worry about any issues there. They also really restore property value and are quick installation. 

This customer noticed a crack had formed in his garage wall over the past few years. Stairstep cracks are a telltale sign that your wall is failing. A failing wall is not good for resale value and definitley not good for the saftey of you or your family. It's a good idea to get foundation issues addressed as soon as possible so it doesn't create more a problem. 

For this wall crack in the customers garage we were able to install our Wall Anchors to fix the problem. Wall anchors are a very versatile repair method because they can fix: bowed walls, walls that are tipping, and walls that are pushing inwward. These anchros are installed independently of the floor system so they are a good choice to fix very severe problems. They can also be tightened over time to make sure your wall is getting back to its original position. Wall anchors can be installed around pipes, vanities, sinkes, toilets and so much more which make them a great minimal disturbing choice for repairing your walls.

This Grand Rapids, MI home had cement block foundation walls with multiple hairline cracks. The walls were also beginning to bow inward and the homeowner wanted to issue fixed before further damage occurred. We installed the PowerBrace system that used zinc coated steel I-beams to stabilize the failing walls and potentially straighten them over time. The base of the steel brace was installed in the floor at the footing of the wall and the top of the brace was securely attached to the joist above the wall. Using the specialized joist reinforcement method, this system works to stabilize and adjust the wall over time without damaging the floor above.

Bob rents this home to collage students in the area. The garage has a corner that has settled which has been an issue for a while but he wants it fixed before it gets any worse. We used Helical Piers to stabilize the garage. Helical Piers can have sections added to be able to reach stable soil in which the piers will anchor in. The system stabilizes the structure but also restores it to the original position. The installation is fast and can be done year round so no need to worry about the season, we can fix your settled home anytime!

You know that weird sound that old floors make when you walk on them? That sound happens because of poor foundation for those floors. A homeowner from Grand Rapids had a similar problem with her floors and she called us to get it fixed. We drove to her property and installed our SmartJack system.  The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now this homeowner will never have loud floors ever again.
