Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jeremy, from Altoona, WI, got in contact with us when he noticed a crack in the foundation of his home was worsening over time. He was afraid that if he didn't fix the issue, water would begin to enter through the crack, causing expensive damage to his home. When he contacted us, he used his FREE estimate, entitling him to a 3-hour thorough inspection by a member of our Sales team. Our Design Specialist, Chuck, headed out to the property to inspect the damage and see how we could help Jeremy. Once Chuck completed his walkthrough, he recommended our helical piers to address the failing foundation. He explained that our helical piers have helical plates welded to the pier shaft, helping to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. They have a great deal of versatility for stabilizing and restoring foundation or masonry elements. Chuck wanted to address any further structural issues with our GeoLock wall anchors. He told Jeremy that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize the foundation by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. Once installed, this system can be tightened over time if needed. Jeremy agreed to the proposed solution and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew ended up installing 10 helical piers along the Northern part of the wall. The crew installed 5 GeoLock anchors along the same wall and finished the job by sealing the crack forming in the foundation to keep unwanted water out.

When the work was done, Jeremy was happy with the work we had done and was relieved to know that his foundation worries were a thing of the past!

Rich A. in Altura, MN contacted us regarding his severely cracked garage walls. The garage was built on a hill and the soil was shifting, causing damage to the foundation of the garage. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to provide him with a FREE, onsite inspection.

Mac designed a solution to permanently repair the foundation of his garage by using wall anchors and power braces. Rich liked the proposal that Mac presented to him, so he decided to move forward and have our foundation repair system installed.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling small holes into the brick walls and inserting metal rods. Then, they secured the rods with anchors. Once the anchors were completely tightened, they could see a dramatic improvement in the stability of the walls. The walls had started to straighten and there were no longer cracks. Lastly, we sealed the walls with Silverglo and SentrySeal which ensure that water will not seep through the wall. Our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Rich is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his garage for the long-term.

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was down in her basement one day when she noticed a puddle of standing water. She was immediately disconcerted, as she didn't know what this issue could mean for her space. She took to the internet to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me' and quickly found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. 

When Chuck arrived, he was directed to the basement, and he began his inspection. After concluding, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Chuck began by saying that the homeowner did the right thing by contacting a specialist. He explained that leaky basement issues do not get better with time they get worse and are more costly to fix.  Chuck first wanted to use our WaterGuard system, a unique French drain that gets installed around the perimeter of the basement, below the basement floor, but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. He explained that this system works to collect water coming up through holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the proper disposal site. Chuck's second recommendation, our SuperSump sump pump, is an economical yet effective solution for ridding your basement of water and the perfect solution to finish off Chuck's plan for the basement. The homeowner was satisfied with Chuck's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Lane S, and his team were headed to the home. After a long day, the team had successfully placed 40ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her water intrusion issue has been solved!
