Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was shocked to see their basement walls cracking and bowing into the home's interior. System Design Specialist Greg B. assessed the situation and recommended a long-lasting repair solution to protect the foundation and the home.

Foreman Brad P. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to reinforce the damaged wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plates to brace bowing walls and potentially straighten them to their original position. With Geo-Lock, this homeowner has the piece of mind they deserve.

A foundation was cracking in a basement in Vandalia, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come! 

A foundation was becoming unstable in Vandalia, IL, as cracks were forming and leaking water. To solve these issues, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump to then be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Vandalia, IL, creating a damp environment and causing mold to grow. Support blocks were also sinking and shifting, causing the beams to sink and crack. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

This basement in Vandalia, IL was suffering from buckling foundation walls due to pressure from the outside soil. GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed to hold the foundation walls in place. These can be further tightened as well, so even during dry seasons this happy customer's walls won't budge.
