These customers contacted us because the floor in their living room was sagging toward the middle of the house. There were no cracks on the basement or upstairs walls but the homeowners found that the bedroom doors were sticking. Thankfully, our SmartJack system was the perfect solution to their issue. The SmartJacks acted as supports for the sagging beams in the basement. They were installed and secured into place in the basement floor and attached to the sagging ceiling joists. Once tightened into place, the floors were stabilized and lifted back to their proper level.
Lori and Richmond have staircase cracks on their basment walls noticed the walls are starting to bow. We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to makse sure the walls could not move anymore. This system is made up of steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. They stop further damage to the walls and could potentially straghten the wall back to the original position. It installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement.
Liam just moved into his home when he notcied that during heavy rain, a steady stream of water was coming through some cracks in the basement. There was no standing water, it had drained but he didn't want water coming in at all so he called us. We installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the wall. The CarbonArmor System is made up of flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall using high strength epoxy resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.
These Clarklake homeowners have had a crack in the basement walls since the home was built and the soil was backfilled. It has bothered them ever since but now they thing the crack is slowly getting worse and wanted a solution. We used GeoLock Wall Anchors to halt further movement of the walls. There is minimal disruption to the yard and the anchors do not take up usable space in the basement!
William’s wall withstood 30 years of bowing and finally started cracking pretty significantly. There were no signs of intruding water yet however it was sure to follow after the crack got deeper and wider. William called our team and we came out and installed GeoLock Wall Anchors. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System repairs walls that are sliding inwards, bowing, or buckling. A wall anchor will be installed inside your home and extend outward towards stable, hard-packed soil around your home to anchor it in place. This prevents any further movement permanently and is installed with minimal disruption to your home or your lawn. We can even conceal the anchors with our Hide-A-Way covers for a more finished appearance. Now William's wall will return to standing tall and strong like the day he built the house and intruding water won't be a concern.
