Before & After Photos

This home in Cincinnati, OH, had a backyard deck that was sagging. The best and easiest way to fix it for the customer was to install a system of SmartJacks under the decks foundation. We were able to strengthen the support beam back and jack it back up to level out the main beam. Our SmartJack's are based on an engineer fill to ensure stability. (Editor's note: we would later backfill soil around the exposed SmartJacks, as seen in the after photo).

This shallow, small crawl space had some moisture control issues so we encapsulated it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to make it a conditioned environment.

Notice horizontal cracks in your foundation wall? External forces may be causing it to bow inward. Our PowerBrace system can straighten them out!

This poured foundation in Cleves, OH, was caving inwards, causing horizontal cracks to form. This foundation was also leaking due to massive amounts of hydrostatic pressure weighing in on the basement from outside the foundation in the expansive clay soil. We repaired this basement by waterproofing it with a sump pump, interior drainage tile, and a vapor barrier. We then stabilized the bowing walls with our PowerBrace system. The result is a stable, dry, fresh basement.

The owner of this home in Harrison, OH, gave us a call because they noticed a large horizontal crack had developed across a wall in their basement. The homeowner caught their crack very early on in the failure process, which allowed us to quote them our CarbonArmor repair method. Our carbon straps are a relatively new technology, and they allow us to stabilize walls without having to do any drilling, excavating, or jackhammering. However, they can only be used in certain situations where the wall failure hasn't advanced too far. They are installed by applying a strong epoxy resin to the wall, adhering the straps to the wall, adding brackets to secure to the straps to the ceiling, and then covering the straps again with an epoxy topcoat. These straps are very thin and can be finished with a paint, which homeowners love. Because they take up little space and can be painted, homeowners can either add a finished wall system, or just conceal them with paint.
