Foundation Services Before & After Photos

This chimney in Pleasant Hill, Ohio was showing signs of settlement, creating both structural concerns and visible separation from the home. Using two helical piers, we stabilized & lifted the chimney foundation, which puts the chimney back up against the home and halts further movement. The "before" photo show the misalignment caused by the settling, while the "after" image highlights a secure, reinforced foundation and restored alignment. A clean, lasting solution to a serious problem.

In order to stabilize this bowed in wall, we installed our PowerBrace system. Our PowerBraces aren't just your normal steel beams. They are designed to distribute the weight of the walls evenly all throughout the brace, which will prevent damage to the floor joists. They are also easily installed and adjustable, which allows us to straighten the wall out over time. They also look very clean, are very durable, and are coated in zinc which prevents rust.

This Loveland, OH basement had serious moisture damage, with drywall already torn out and a foundation wall starting to bow inward. After installing a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard along the perimeter, CleanSpace wall panels to brighten and protect the space, and PowerBraces to stabilize the failing wall, the basement is now dry, stable, and ready to be finished again with confidence.

This poured foundation basement in Maineville, OH, was dealing with leaks and bowed walls. To address the moisture, we installed our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system around the perimeter, connecting it to a sump pump to channel water out of the basement. The walls were then covered with BrightWall panels, which direct leaks into the drainage system and resist mold thanks to their inorganic material. To stabilize the bowed walls, we installed zinc-coated steel PowerBraces, designed to distribute the wall’s weight evenly across the floor joists and concrete, and in some cases, straighten the walls. The end result is a dry, clean, and structurally sound basement the homeowners can trust.

The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by external pressure over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remained stable, our PowerBrace system was employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specifically designed to spread the wall’s weight across the basement floor and ceiling joists, prevent further damage to these areas. These braces are straightforward to install, typically taking just one day, and can gradually restore the wall to its original position. Additionally, their flexible design allows them to be fitted around obstacles, such as a fuse box.
