Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Tom and Arlene S. of Franklin, Illinois were distraught when they discovered horizontal cracks in their block foundation. Cracks not only allow water into the basement, but they are a structural concern. System Design Specialist Nolan M. inspected the foundation and determined the walls were bowing. He designed a solution to restore the walls.

Dillon L., Foreman, installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. These anchors are installed into undisturbed soil to ensure the walls are permanently supported. Geo-Lock is made of galvanized steel, so it won't rust. They anchors secure the wall and help move it to its original position.

Tom and Arlene can live comfortably in their home knowing their foundation is safe.

A crawlspace in Mascoutah, IL was not being supported as it should be, and it was causing other problems in the house. To fix this issue, the SmartJack System was installed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Mascoutah, IL, and the beams needed some extra support. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. Next, the SmartJack System was installed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain dry and stable for years to come! 

Foundation blocks were shifting in a basement in Fayetteville, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed.

A basement wall was shifting in a Shipman, IL basement, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!
