The owners of this home experienced water in the crawlspace. After having us out for a free estimate, they decided that they liked the option to completely encapsulate the crawlspace. We installed water control, Drainage matting, a sump pump and Cleanspace.
At this home in Lake Geneva the basement was in rough shape with crumbling walls, leaking windows and a "different" set up. With some creativity we were able to make it this space a clean functioning area for the homeowners to use!
We were called to this home in Kenosha, WI when the homeowners were tired of having to clean up water every time it rained. They were also concerned about the floor above the basement because it started to sag. This home already had some posts in the basement but they were failing, resulting in the floor above to sag.
We came in and not only took care of the water issue, but installed our SmartJack System. This system is made of galvanized steel which will not rust, provides immediate stabilization and lift and has a high capacity supporting over 60,000 lbs.
The SmartJacks replaced their failing posts and now will provide them with the protection and security that they have been looking for.
There is a slight bow in the wall where a crack can be seen. Although not a major issue right now, prevention of further movement is much needed.
As the soil puts pressure on your foundation wall from forces of nature such as moisture and frost, it can cause it to crack, bow and tip inward. Luckily we have a solution that will not only stabilize the foundation wall immediately but is adjustable so overtime, there is potential to reverse the wall failure.
The PowerBraces are Zinc-plated steel beams that are custom fit to your basement wall height. They are tightly secured against the wall with brackets that anchor to your basement floor and the floor joists above. The top bracket can be tightened which will allow us to get the maximum amount of movement in the wall to get it back in place if possible.
