We used our helical pier system to push this chimney back up against the home. Our piers are driven deep into load-bearing depths, allowing us to guarantee the structure will be stabilized. The result of this project was a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry any longer.
This bowed wall was very much a cause of concern for the people living above. The gap you see in the middle of the wall is most likely where the frost line is in the dirt outside of the basement. The frost line often correlates with where a wall bows inward because it is where the most pressure is exerted on the wall over time. We fixed the bowed wall by installing our PowerBrace system. The PowerBraces are designed to prevent floor joist damage, unlike other commonly seen repairs. They are also designed to stay rust free, and possibly straighten the wall back out over time. If you are considering a bowed wall repair, be sure to ask questions about the what the repair was designed to do by the installers.
This home had a backyard deck that was sagging. The best and easiest way to fix it for the customer was to install a system of SmartJacks under the decks foundation. We were able to strengthen the support beam back and straighten it back out.
This poured foundation in Cleves, OH, was caving inwards, causing horizontal cracks to form. This foundation was also leaking due to massive amounts of hydrostatic pressure weighing in on the basement from outside the foundation in the expansive clay soil. We repaired this basement by waterproofing it with a sump pump, interior drainage tile, and a vapor barrier. We then stabilized the bowing walls with our PowerBrace system. The result is a stable, dry, fresh basement.
This home had a wall that had a long horizontal crack from a shifting foundation. We installed helical piers to close the crack back together, and to stop the foundation from shifting again.
