This customer's home had bowing walls, a problem that can occur from pressure exerted by expansive soils. This bowing has led to cracks in the joints between the concrete blocks, putting the home's structure at risk. To address this issue, we installed our PowerBrace foundation repair system. PowerBrace ensures long-term stability and protection against corrosion, and the installation process is quick and efficient.
Mold in your basement can seriously impact your health, as this customer found out. Breathing in the spores that grow when your basement is damp can lead to:
allergies
immune suppression
lung disease
chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
asthma
To stop the mold from wreaking havoc on this home any longer, we installed CleanSpace barrier which is 100% waterproof and comes with a 25-year warranty!
Concrete slabs can crack, sink, and settle over time due to poorly compacted soil. This can lead to issues like cracked floors and sagging interiors, which is what this customer was experiencing when they called us.
We used push piers that are designed to shift the weight of the foundation onto the piers and off of the soil. Our push piers work because they are able to reinforce at the critical tension point. Our foundation pier systems are custom-designed and can be installed year-round. We offer options in black steel and galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. Our installation process is fast and our push piers come with a 25-year warranty.

These homeowners could not use their basement due to the walls caving in and water consistently flooding their home. Concerned, they called our team. Our team fixed this by creating a water-tight seal around the basement walls and installing power braces to the walls to repair the previous damage. The homeowners are thrilled that they can now use their basement without issues. The image above demonstrates the caving walls and water damage in the basement before we started to solve this issue. The after photo shows our power braces that give the walls the structural integrity they were missing, in addition to the waterproof barrier that was installed to prevent further water from causing damage.
