Before & After Photos

Large vertical cracks are typically due to soil settlement. Settling soil creates additional pressure on a foundation wall and can lead to cracking. Vertical cracks often admit significant amounts of water and must be repaired.

Foundation Push Piers permanently stabilize the foundation by transferring the weight to the structure to adequate soil at a greater depth. 

A homeowner in Tyrone, PA reached out to us regarding their garage wall bowing outward due to foundation issues, as shown in the before photo. To resolve this, we implemented our Push Pier System, which, as shown in the after photo, has stabilized the compromised foundation effectively. By driving engineered steel tube sections to reach stable soil or bedrock, we corrected the issue, potentially lifting the foundation back to its original position. This solution not only prevents further settlement but also enhances property value and restores peace of mind.

Before, the photo depicts a bowing concrete block wall in the homeowner's basement located in Petersburg—a common foundation problem affecting structural integrity. Without water intrusion issues, this kind of wall failure still threatens safety and reduces property value. To address it, Liberty Basement Systems installed our durable PowerBrace™ system. Notice in the after photo how our zinc-plated steel beams provide essential support. Anchored securely from the basement floor to first-floor framing, this patented foundation repair solution not only stabilizes the wall but also offers potential reversibility without drilling or digging.
