Foundation Services Before & After Photos

This home had a shifting foundation that was resulting in cracks. Our helical piers fixed the foundation right up. 

Our helical piers were installed in this house's foundation to save the house from sinking. The piers cause little disturbance and are invisible! 

Sometimes its easier to put piers in through the basement floor rather than outside the basement walls. That's what we did here for this homeowner to stop their foundation from settling and causing cracks in their home. 

A Cincinnati homeowner was having problems with a wall in the basement that was cracking and shifting.  The owner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati and met with Steve, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that the PowerBrace System is installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The PowerBrace System is steel I-beams that are secured tightly against the wall with brackets that are attached to the floor and floor joists.  The PowerBraces immediately stabilize the wall and protect it from further movement.  There is an adjustable bracket on the PowerBrace that is designed to be tightened over time and has the potential to reverse the wall failure.  PowerBraces give the homeowner peace of mind and restore the property value. 

Changes in the temperature and moisture levels of the ground can cause the expansion of the soil.  Over time, this can cause a lot of pressure against the foundation, causing it to crack and bow.  One way we can resolve this problem is with the PowerBrace System.  A PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is attached tightly against the wall using brackets that are attached to the floor and also to the floor joist.  The PowerBrace immediately stabilizes the foundation.  There is an adjustable bracket that can be tightened over time to reverse the wall failure potentially.  For more information on how the PowerBrace System works, see a Certified Inspector.
