Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Red Lake Falls, MN, was walking across their main level floor one day when they noticed a slight sag to the floor. Upon inspection, the naked eye could see that the floor was indeed uneven. The homeowner was worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One night, he saw one of our TV ads informing him that we specialize in fixing failing foundations. He decided to schedule his FREE inspection, and several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home.

Ian got right to work assessing the space. When he completed it, he informed the homeowner that we could address the problem using our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system provides soil support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, this system can correct problems such as sloping, overfly spring floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Due to it's modern design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked the sound of Ian's plan, and signed on the spot. 

When the installation day rolled around, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 4 of our SmartJacks throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past! 

A homeowner from Thief River Falls had been watching his basement walls for several years now. You see, the walls had been showing signs of cracking for some time and kept worsening over time. The homeowner was growing more concerned but didn't know of any local foundation repair companies. One day one of his neighbors informed him about our services so the homeowner decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design specialist was scheduled to head out to the home.

Our Design Specialist performed his walkthrough inspection, and when he finished, met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Our Design Specialist began by saying that the homeowner was right to address the problem, as failing walls can impact the home's structural integrity. He went on to say that the problem could be solved with the use of our PowerBrace system. He explained that our PowerBraces are a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and decided to schedule the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Franklin O, led his team through the successful installation of 13 PowerBraces throughout the basement. Now that the job was been completed, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past!

A Thief River Falls, MN, homeowner had been aware of several cracks in his foundation for some time now. He was beginning to think about reselling his home and knew that he had to have the problem fixed before he could list his home. He began to look for MN foundation repair, quickly found us, and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan J, headed out to the home. He completed a full inspection of the foundation and then met with the homeowner. He began by stating that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure on the side of the wall. So when the pressure being exerted ends up being more than the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, and/or sliding in at the bottom. Dylan went on to say that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors, an innovative system that counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Dylan finished by saying that this system is able to be tightened over time to move through the next stages of the home's life. The homeowner was thrilled with Dylan's recommendation and signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Kingsley C, and his team were in the basement installing the anchors. When they finished, they had successfully installed 8 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can list his home with confidence!
