Travis and his crew went out to a home in Des Moines and leveled their garage floor. Travis had to raise the concrete about 3 inches. You can see the in the picture the difference of inches.
We installed wall anchors in this home to hold the wall and prevent it from coming inward any further. These wall anchors will also work overtime to straighten the foundation wall. The homeowner, in this case, wanted to put drywall on his basement walls, but the drywaller noticed the wall was bowing inward and was concerned about the structural integrity of the home. When we inspected the home, we found the wall of the garage was bowing inward from the active wedge the soil places on the wall. This caused several cracks to develop in the mortar joints overtime.

This customer was getting water in his basement and wanted to protect his home's resale value. When we inspected, we found that hydrostatic pressure had been putting a lot of pressure on his foundation walls for years. So much so that water started leaking through the wall mortar joints and started to pool up on the floor.
To fix this issue, we installed a full perimeter drainage system and installed a sump pump system for the water to be channeled to and directed away from the home.
