Foundation Services Before & After Photos

The wall in this basement in California, KY, was not only leaking, it was also actively bowing inwards. Our Inspector was easily able to diagnose both issues just by looking at the moisture stained paneling system and the ceiling panels, which were all out of whack due to the wall shifting inwards. We waterproofed this wall by installing our WaterGuard subfloor drains at the base of the wall, and then we connected the drains to our SuperSump Plus sump pump system, (which was attached with our battery backup system). We then covered the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to drain any moisture that may transfer through the porous concrete down into our subfloor system. To stabilize the moving wall, we braced it with our PowerBraces. These braces are made of galvanized steel, and they can be tightened throughout time to straighten the wall back out. This homeowner was happy with the outcome.

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.

This home in Dayton, OH, was going on the housing market, but the seller wanted to fix their sinking porch problem first. The seller had their project manager contact our Real Estate Specialist, Donny, to figure out a solution. Donny drew up a relatively simply plan - we would stabilize the sinking pillar with two helical piers, and then try and lift the pillar back up with our hydraulics. As you can see, we achieved a pretty good lift, and we were able to close the gap between the concrete pillar and the porch slab. We then covered the piers, (that are latched underneath the porch footer and reach deep into load-bearing strata) with soil, leaving the system completely concealed. Now the seller can sell the home for more - thanks to the lifetime-of-structure, free-transferable warranty for this pier system. Click here to read what the seller said about our crew.

The main beam in the ceiling of this basement had become warped from excessive use. To add extra support and to stop the floors from sagging from the floor above, we installed SmartJacks and a supplemental beam across the main beam. The result was a success.
