Reliable Basement Stabilization for a Stress-Free Home in Reinbeck, IA

Recently, this homeowner faced the issue of bowing block walls in their basement, which you can see by horizontal and stair-step cracks. Their basement was filled with personal belongings, making the situation even more challenging.

 

Understanding the homeowner's need for stable basement walls, we installed PowerBraces, a wall stabilization system, along with strategically placed anchors. This solution not only prevented further bowing of the walls but also ensured long-term structural stability, giving the homeowner the peace of mind they needed.

 

 

Weak Walls, Foundation Settlement, and Water Fixed in Reinbeck, IA

Linn wanted to fix various issues in her home to sell it without worries and use the basement for storage. The basement had problems with walls, settlement, and water damage. We fixed the walls using PowerBraces, which is a reliable support system. Settlement issues were corrected with push piers, and we waterproofed the basement with WaterGuard, full-height CleanSpace, and a sump pump.

 

Linn was very happy with our work and communication throughout the project. She would happily recommend our services because of the positive experience and peace of mind she got. Even Linn's son, Allen, was impressed and felt more secure.

 

Our efforts solved multiple problems, provided effective solutions, and made Linn's selling process worry-free. The home's value was also increased.

Family Home Wall Failure Saved in Garwin, IA

This homeowner noticed that one of his foundation walls was caving in. He was concerned that this wall would cause many problems in the future, so he decided to give us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the wall and determine what was causing it to cave inwards as well as how we could help to fix this problem. When Todd arrives at this house, he saw that the wall was experiencing wall failure as pressure form the soil surrounding the foundation had caused this wall to bow inwards over time.  Todd discussed this with the homeowner and determined that an EverBrace System would help to lock in and secure this wall for many years to come. Our installation team came out and installed just that, leaving the homeowner happy that his old farmhouse that was 3 generations of history for his family could continue to stand strong.

Peace of Mind Restored in Bussey, IA

This homeowner has been worrying about his foundation walls at least once a day for the last 50 years. His basement walls are cracking and bowing in multiple places due to the outside soil expanding. Our crew installed PowerBraces to stabilize the wall and begin to correct them back to their original position. 

Lifting Stairs in Dike, IA

This homeowner was struggling with his steps as they were tied into his foundation, yet they had started to settle and pull away from his house. He was unsure of what to do in order to fix this problem, so he called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Elliot Moles to inspect the steps and figure out what happened to the homeowner's steps. Elliot found that the steps settled due to soil erosion, however because they were tied into the foundation, this put an extra stress on the foundation that compromised the safety of the home. After talking to the homeowner about options to fix this, the homeowner decided to lift his stairs with us. Our team used Helical Piers to lift the stairs back to their original position and to secure the foundation. 

The homeowner was happy with the project when it was complete. Check out his lifted stairs!
