Our team stabilized a customer's cracked and bowing foundation wall in their garage using our PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace System is a foundation repair solution designed to stabilize and potentially straighten foundation walls that are experiencing inward movement. It consists of steel I-beams that are anchored to the floor joists above the wall and the floor below. The beams are then tightened to exert pressure against the wall, counteracting the forces causing the wall to bow. This system not only halts further movement but can also gradually improve the wall's condition over time.
In this Greensboro, NC crawl space, the homeowner was facing multiple warning signs of foundation and moisture issues. The original space had sagging insulation, exposed dirt floors, and rotting support beams, which led to uneven, bouncy floors and poor indoor air quality. These symptoms are common when moisture and weak supports compromise the integrity of a home’s foundation.
Our team addressed these issues by installing the SmartJack Support System to provide reliable stabilization and lift for sagging joists. In addition, we encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out excess humidity and preventing further mold and rot damage.
Now, this crawl space is clean, stable, and fully protected giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their foundation is strong and their living environment healthier.
The basement walls under this home were bending and causing so many problems that the homeowners had to tear out existing interior walls to uncover problem areas. Once the block was fully exposed, we were able to install our steel PowerBraces to the wall that secure the blocks in place.
This Winston-Salem, NC home was showing signs of foundation settlement, including sinking along the chimney and shifting soil around the base of the structure. These symptoms are common when unstable soils can no longer support the weight of a home, leading to cracks, uneven settling, and long-term structural risks.
To restore stability, our crew installed Push Piers beneath the foundation. Push Piers are driven deep into load-bearing soil or bedrock, bypassing weak surface soils and permanently stabilizing the structure. Once installed, the foundation is lifted and supported, preventing further settlement and protecting the integrity of the home.
With the installation of Push Piers, this Winston-Salem property is now secure, structurally sound, and protected against future foundation settlement. Homeowners in Winston-Salem can count on our foundation repair solutions to safeguard their most important investment.
In Winston-Salem, NC, this homeowner was dealing with a severely cracked and bowing basement wall. The stair-step crack pattern and shifting near the window were telltale signs of foundation pressure and inward wall movement common symptoms of hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushing against the exterior.
To stop the wall from worsening and permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed a wall anchor system. These galvanized steel anchors are designed to counteract external pressure and gradually straighten the wall over time.
As seen in the "after" photo, the steel plates are now securely anchored along the problem wall, reinforced at the base with fresh concrete for a long-lasting hold. What was once a vulnerable and concerning crack is now a fortified basement wall ready to stand the test of time.
