Before & After Photos

In this Truckee, CA project, Madole Construction tackled a sagging floor and moisture issues with a comprehensive solution. Our team installed a durable SmartJack support system to stabilize the home's foundation and performed a full crawl space encapsulation to protect against moisture and improve energy efficiency. The result? A safer, more secure, and healthier home environment. Check out the dramatic transformation in the before-and-after photos!

This Northwest Reno home was facing serious structural issues, with the floor beneath a heavy fireplace completely rotted and failing to bear its weight. Our team stepped in to perform a full encapsulation and foundation repair, stabilizing the home and protecting it from further damage. The transformation was completed with brand-new siding, restoring both the safety and beauty of the property.

This property in Reno was experiencing ongoing water intrusion into the crawlspace due to seepage from an adjacent concrete-lined drainage ditch. The original bank consisted of loose boulders and deteriorating soil, allowing water to migrate through voids and compromise the structure below.

Before:
The ditch bank was unstable, with exposed rock and erosion creating pathways for water to seep toward the foundation. Freeze-thaw cycles and runoff were worsening the condition, increasing the risk of continued moisture intrusion and structural damage.

After:
Our team installed a reinforced shotcrete wall system to stabilize and seal the ditch bank. The new shotcrete lining encapsulates the loose material, eliminates voids, and creates a durable, monolithic barrier designed to redirect water flow and protect the crawlspace from further intrusion. The finished wall is clean, structurally sound, and built to withstand Reno’s seasonal runoff conditions.

Our team, led by Larry and Austin, tackled a severely bowing basement wall with visible foundation cracks. The "before" shots show the damage—cracks, moisture, and structural compromise. The "after" images reveal a fully stabilized wall, reinforced with wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, 10” C-channel support, and protected with Xypex waterproofing for long-term durability.

This project showcases the full helical pier installation process, from excavation alongside the foundation to final stabilization. Helical piers are driven deep into load-bearing soil to permanently support and stabilize settling foundations. Once installed, the area is backfilled and prepared for a clean finish—restoring structural integrity and providing long-term protection against future movement.
