We not only adhere to the highest industry standards, we strive to be the industry leader in the home improvement related services we provide. We also use state-of-the-art foundation repair products and technology which are designed to fix your home. We are the authorized Basement Systems dealer in West Union, OH.
Using PolyLEVEL, an expansive polyurethane foam we lift and level sunken concrete slabs. The foam expands beneath the surface of the concrete lifting the sunken concrete slab. The foam cures over the course of a day leaving a powerful and lightweight foundation beneath the slab. PolyLEVEL is the preferred method over traditional forma of mudjacking or slab jacking.
Our team was called to a home in West Union, Ohio, after a foundation wall had completely collapsed inward. The homeowner had noticed some minor signs of stress over the years but had no idea the wall was experiencing significant lateral movement behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the structural damage became severe.
Upon inspection, we found that the inward soil pressure had built up to the point of failure, causing the block foundation wall to cave in. Since the damage was beyond the scope of what our systems are designed to correct, we offered to temporarily stabilize the floor joists above the collapsed area. This would have helped prevent further damage and given a masonry contractor time to safely rebuild the wall. The homeowner ultimately decided to delay the temporary stabilization due to financial concerns and a desire to explore multiple repair options.
This inspection is a strong reminder of the importance of early foundation evaluations — especially if you notice stair-step cracking, bowing walls, or other subtle signs of lateral movement. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to serious structural problems that are much more costly and complex to fix down the line.
If you’ve noticed even small signs of wall movement or cracking, it’s worth having it professionally assessed — for your home’s safety and your own peace of mind.
