Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Our team responded to a residence in Cleveland, TN to address sagging beams in the crawlspace. It's common for contractors to use undersized or deteriorating beams during construction, which can subsequently rot, shift, or settle over time. To rectify this issue, we installed our SmartJacks system. These supports provide a permanent solution by reinforcing the weakened beams and transferring the home's weight to stable soil below. This system is versatile and adjustable, making it ideal for compact spaces and adaptable over time if necessary.

In Cleveland, TN, a home's foundation corner displayed noticeable settling, a typical problem caused by shifting or eroding soils beneath the structure. To address this issue, our team installed helical piers, which are like large screws, securely anchoring the home to stable ground. Despite the challenge of working on a steep driveway, our team successfully excavated the area. The piers were meticulously installed to the necessary capacities and depth, and connected to the footing with a steel foundation bracket. This ensures stability and should keep the house secure for years to come.

A homeowner in Cleveland, TN, noticed damage beneath her front porch step, especially after heavy rainfall. Stones collapsed into a shallow sinkhole, exposing part of the foundation footing. Concerned about potential disruption to the upper levels of the house, such as window frames, she promptly sought help. Our team inspected the structure and identified the area needing additional support. We then utilized our push pier system, ideal for narrow digging areas like this one. After securely installing it into the dry and stable clay soil beneath the sinkhole, we anchored it with a steel bracket to the cement footing of the house. Once the hole was backfilled, no visible damage remained, leaving a reinforced structure.

Plate anchor wall systems offer a cost-effective solution to the labor-intensive and costly process of rebuilding or replacing compromised foundation walls. Our wall anchor system extends beyond the foundation, leveraging the soil's stability to anchor the wall and halt inward bowing. Take this basement in McDonald, TN, for example, where numerous stair-step cracks jeopardized the wall's structural integrity.

A homeowner in McDonald, TN contacted our team to reinforce their basement wall, which had been weakened by years of water infiltration and efflorescence. After a thorough inspection, we recommended our Carbon Fiber Wall Armor system to counteract the hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding terrain. These carbon fiber straps, as strong as steel, are installed without the need for drilling or heavy machinery, preserving the basement's aesthetic. With this solution in place, the homeowner can later paint the wall or add extra protection, such as a Wall Vapor Barrier.
