The soil under this homes foundation was shifting, causing the foundation to sink away from the brick walls of the house. We are able to raise foundations by using helical piers, which are strong enough to transfer the weight of the houses down into deep soil. They also go deep down into solid soil that can't move, allowing the foundation to stay put for good.
This basement had a lot of hydro static pressure coming from their foundation walls, resulting in bowed in walls and basement leaks. We fixed this by installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system and installing PowerBraces over the bowed walls. When you waterproof a basement, it helps relieve that water pressure off of the walls, helping the PowerBraces out even further. We waterproofed by installing WaterGuard drains under the basement floor along the perimeter, and hooked the drains up to a SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels that cover the dirty walls and help filter water coming from the walls to the drainage system.
The wall in the garage of this home was bowing in from built up water on the outside soil of the garage. In order to keep this wall stable, we installed a system of PowerBrace steel beams. PowerBraces are not just your everyday steel beam product. They have unique qualities like special brackets that prevent damage to floor joists. They are also made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like other options. The result of this project brought peace of mind to the homeowner that their wall won't shift again.
This home was revealing pretty large vertical cracks because the soil under the foundation of the home was shifting. In order to fix these cracks and to keep the home's foundation from shifting any further, we installed helical piers deep into sturdy soil.
This customer had worked with us once before to waterproof their basement. Our customer had us back out to inspect their foundation, which they suspected was sinking. They were right, so we got right to work on installing helical piers through their basement floor. We first jackhammered the concrete floor away, then we dug the dirt out all the way to the footers. We then attached our piers to the footer, then pressed the piers all the way to solid dirt under the house. We then used hydraulics to raise the footers back to where it originally was.
