Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This 100-year-old house had walls that were starting to bow and this homeowner was worried that the foundation may collapse. This bowing-wall problem is caused by the normal geostatic pressure and water pressure pressing the wall for 100 years. We fixed this issue by installing wall support to stabilize the walls and keep them upright. 

This sidewalk was becoming a huge issue for our customer. They were worried a loved one would trip and seriously injure themselves. When we got on-site, we knew we could remove all tripping hazards by injecting PolyLevel beneath the concrete slab. After injecting PolyLevel and lifting the concrete back, we filled the cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro not only fills in the cracks, but it also prevents any water infiltration. It's a UV-resistant and highly flexible material that lasts over two decades. It also just makes the concrete look 10x better.

This customer was experiencing sagging floors on the first level in her home. Upon inspection, we realized the structural support was deteriorating. We used SmartJacks, our crawl space high-capacity steel pier to stabilize and support the home beneath the crawl space.

This customer noticed some cosmetic damage in her kitchen. The drywall tape was pulling away from the center wall in the kitchen and you could see the damage on the ceiling.

When we inspected the home, we found the problem was there was inadequate support holding up the home in the crawl space. We installed double the supports in the crawl space to fix the issue. We used our SmartJack Support system, that you can see in the photos above.

This home was experiencing hydrostatic pressure, which is when saturated soil exerts a lot of pressure on foundation walls they start to bow inward. The homeowner had only bought the home a year prior and started to notice the walls coming inward and was concerned the home was going to collapse. To fix this, we installed two wall stabilizers: PowerBraces and Geolock Wall Anchors. 

PowerBraces are a wall repair system that's designed to stabilize basement walls. They are steel beams that go from floor to ceiling and are secured tightly against your wall with brackets anchored to the floor. Once tightened, they are able to reverse wall failure and straighten the wall overtime. GeoLock wall anchors are also designed to permanently stabilize your foundation wall. They are a heavy duty anchor system that are embedded into stable soil away from your foundation wall and then connect to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods.
