Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This wall was shifting so much, almost reaching a catastrophic level. Luckily, the customer noticed the signs and called us to help install PowerBraces to hold this wall together.

This home had a driveway that was slowly settling down a hill. We installed helical piers to make sure the driveway doesn't settle any further. This big driveway, which was used to store a lot of cars and weight, was now safe again. 

This basement had a bowing wall that was cracking horizontally. In order to remedy this, we installed 10 eight feet PowerBraces along the wall. The PowerBraces are so strong that the owner wont have to worry about the wall for the future.

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. 

As we see with most bowed walls, there was a large horizontal crack in the block wall just below the frost line. You see, when water freezes underground outside your foundation, it causes the water to expand and push inwards towards your basement. Our repair is simple, but very effective. Our steel I-beams are very unique in their design and strength compared to most other steel beam options. Our PowerBraces, as we call them, are made of a high strength steel that prevents rust and other types of failures that you see with other I-beams. They are also designed to prevent damage to your floor joists and floors through weight dissipation. Lastly, they are also able to turn bowed walls straight again over time under the right circumstances. If you think this is a method you may be interested in then call us today for a free inspection!
