Before & After Photos

This garage lintel in Cincinnati, OH, was drooping before we lifted and stabilized it with a lintel repair. A garage lintel, (the top of the garage opening) can start to droop downwards over time, causing the lintel to look like a slight grin. We lifted the lintel by installing steel beams along the inside of both walls in the opening of the garage face. We then run a steel beam across both jacks to distribute the load. After jacking the lintel back to a healthy even level, we then cover the steel beams with a fresh trim. This trim completely conceals the steel beams. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and was super impressed with our crews ability to work around the garage number pad on the right side.

External forces like hydrostatic pressure can cause your foundation walls to cave in. No worries though, we have the solution. Our steel I-beams called PowerBraces are not your ordinary I-beams. They are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, and they can handle very strong loads. Also, they were designed to prevent damage to your floor joists, as their special brackets can be tightened to straighten the wall back out.

This block wall foundation in Fort Thomas, KY, was pushing inward - and it was at a pretty severe stage of wall failure. We recommended that we install a wall repair system consisting of three of our PowerBraces in order to save the wall. These PowerBraces connect to the floor joists at the top will specialized brackets - which are designed to prevent floor joist movement. These brackets allow us to tighten the braces to straighten the wall out over time. You may also notice that we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also waterproofed this space by wrapping perforated drains underneath the floor, laying our dimpled membrane matting underneath the CleanSpace floor, and installing a SuperSump sump pump, (not pictured). The homeowner was not only relieved from the worry of a caving wall, but they were also happy with the added benefit of a dry and clean space.

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.

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.
