Before & After Photos

The corner of this Traverse City, MI home was sinking. There were cracks in the slab foundation in the basement and the foundation walls had stairstep cracks making the problem quite clear. To lift and permanently support the failing foundation, we installed a series of helical piers along the affected walls. Helical piers are drilled down deep into the ground to competent. The heavy-duty foundation bracket is then put on top of the piers to prevent further settling of the foundation. Because the bottom of the foundation was only a short depth, the excavation required for this job was only about 2 square feet causing minimal disruption to the yard. Once the brackets were in place, the dirt can be filled back in so that the piers are not seen or even noticed.

Allen had some cracks outside of his basement walls and uneven floors in his home. He was nervous the walls would crumble and the home would fall. We used SmartJacks to support the floors and lift them back to the original level. These support posts are secured to the floors joists, cemented into the foundation, and can be adjusted anytime to keep the floors level! 

Allen had some floors that were sloping in his home. The support posts he had in the basement already did not all have a sturdy base and some were not supporting the floors above. He wanted the floors leveled and the foundation safe so we used SmartJacks. These support posts are made of steel and secured to the floor joists and have a sturdy base at the floor, secured with concrete in the ground. The SmartJacks stabilize the floors and raise it back up to a level position! 

Cracking and bowing foundation walls are a serious problem not only for your house, but also obviously for your family. That is why this family in Traverse City reached out to our expert team, who recommended our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system to solve their foundation issue. Steel I-beams are secured to joints above the wall and support the bowing, tilting, and buckling foundation walls. With the PowerBrace system in place, the family can now be confident that they are safe from a foundation collapse.

Problems with your foundation walls can be a pain, but if you don't get them taken care of quickly, they can become a nightmare. That's why Nancy called us as soon as she noticed a problem. Her wall was beginning to bow, which created cracks. These cracks then lead to water leakage. If problems like these don't get taken care of quickly, one thing continuously leads to another over and over again. That's what was beginning to happen here, but luckily Nancy took care of it right away.

We went out to take a look for ourselves, and we knew right away that our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System was the solution. In terms of stabilizing foundation walls, it doesn't get any better than PowerBrace. 

This system uses steel beams to properly secure the joists and prevent any further damage from taking place. PowerBrace can be important to customers not only because it stabilizes the walls, but also because the beams are zinc coated which makes the system resistant to any corrosion, also creating a non-toxic surface. This is what sets the PowerBrace system above any other system, because other systems typically either use uncoated or painted beams, meaning that they are far more susceptible to corrosion.

Thanks to the PowerBrace system, Nancy's wall is now stabilized and will avoid any further foundation troubles.
