Structural Foundation Repair in Hixton, WI

Jill P. of Hixton, WI lives in an 1889 farmhouse that is built on sandstone. Over the years, it was settling and the inside of her home was uneven, causing sagging floors. She got in contact with our office staff after seeing that we professionalize in foundation repair. Our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, inspected her sagging floor and proposed our SmartJacks. Jill got all of her questions answered about our product and felt confident in the system, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed three of our 5-7' SmartJacks, which are designed to restore the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists and corrects problems such as sloping, interior wall cracks, and uneven door frames. Over time, they can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Jill was happy with the work and was grateful we were able to help restore her peace of mind!

GeoLock Anchor Wall Stabilization in Blair, WI

A customer from Blair, WI got in touch with us when he began to notice one of his basement walls was beginning to show signs of movement, a symptom of the first stage of wall failure. He knew that if he waited, the problem could result in serious damage to the structural integrity of the home. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists, Dustin. When Dustin headed out to the property, he completed a thorough inspection of the issue and then made recommendations as to how we could help. He recommended the use of our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the issue. He explained that our anchors work to permanently stabilize the wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that once installed, the anchors can be tightened over time to move with the home. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew led by our Foreman, Jose, ended up installing 6 of our GeoLock anchors around the perimeter of the basement. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that he no longer had to worry about his compromised basement wall!
