Before & After Photos

This basement wall in West Chester, OH, was bowing inward due to years of soil pressure from the outside. Cracks were forming, and the homeowners were concerned about long-term structural damage. We installed a system of CarbonArmor straps—high-strength carbon fiber reinforcement bonded directly to the foundation wall. This clean, non-invasive solution permanently stabilized the wall and gave the homeowners peace of mind without any major excavation.

The floor joists in the ceiling of this crawl space were sagging due to moisture damage and insufficient lally column support. This was causing the floors above the crawl space to sag in certain spots. We installed a couple rows of our SmartJack posts to straighten out and support the floors above. We then encapsulated the crawl space with our white antimicrobial vapor barrier, our graphite insulation panels (along the walls), and our automated dehumidifier (not pictured). This encapsulation system will protect the wood from further moisture damage, keeping the framing as healthy as possible. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like the existing lally columns were. They are also way stronger than the lally columns, and won't sink into the floor, thanks to their engineered "light bulb of influence" design. This customer was stoked that they could now walk on the first floor of their home without feeling like the floors could cave in at any moment. 

In Miamisburg, OH, we lifted and leveled a front porch that had settled over time. Using our helical pier system, we were able to close the gap between the porch and the house and bring the slab back to level, restoring both safety and a smooth, stable surface for the homeowners.

In this Maineville home, a noticeable gap had formed between the baseboards and the floor on the first level—an early sign of sagging floor joists in the crawl space below. To correct the issue, we installed SmartJack® support posts in the crawl space, which are designed to lift and stabilize failing floor joists.

The results speak for themselves: the gap is gone, and the floors are level once again. Not only did this fix the cosmetic issue upstairs, but it also restored long-term structural support to the home.

We used our helical pier system to push this chimney back up against the home. Our piers were driven deep into load-bearing depths, allowing us to guarantee the structure is stable. In the before picture, the gap between the chimney and the home grows in size upwards. In the after picture, the slope is gone, and the chimney is standing as straight as possible. The result of this project was a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry about their chimney toppling over any longer.
