Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Collinsville, Illinois contacted us after noticing that their front porch had sunk. Their basement had previously been waterproofed by us. Push piers were installed next to the foundation to permanently stabilize it. The push piers are made from heavy-duty steel and are connected to the foundation with brackets.

Street creep causes a garage slab to force the rear wall of the garage foundation out.  The rear foundation wall either bows to the exterior like in the photo of this Sunset Hills, Missouri home, or inward into a basement; however, with limited damage, isolated to the 2nd picture shown, it could be determined that in this case it is a rebar crack.  Rebar that slips to the exterior of the concrete form when the foundation is being poured may later cause horizontal cracking like this.  Rebar cracks are more of a cosmetic repair than a structural damage issue.

This O'Fallon, Missouri garage started settling due to the extreme hot temperatures drying out the supporting soils under the shallower footing that only needs to be below the frost line compared to the deeper foundation of a basement.  We installed several push piers in the interior of the garage to help save the homeowner's landscaping.  We were able to do so since the homeowner acted quickly to get the repairs completed before further settling rotated the foundation outward.  If that had occurred, we would have to install the piers on the outside of the foundation to help rotate the foundation back... and then the landscaping would have needed to be replaced too, adding to the overall cost of this project.

This basement had bowing walls due to hydrostatic pressure in the soil around the home. Installing Foundation Supportworks' wall anchors straightened the walls. And the anchor covers provided a more aesthetically-pleasing repair.

Homeowners in Saint Louis, MO noticed that their home's foundation was settling and cracking on the exterior walls.  After consulting with Woods Basement Systems, it was concluded that they would need Push Piers installed to stop the downward settlement.  The finished photo shows the pier footing bracket installed to the foundations footing.  Not appearing here is the system that goes down into the earth that helps stabilize the home.  With the immediate stop of further downward settlement, the homeowners were happy to continue living in their improved home!
