Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Horizontal cracking along the basement wall was causing structural issues to the home. This type of cracking means that the foundation is either settled or moving. Cleveland Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor in order to prevent further bowing and bending. Carbon fiber is a high tinsel strength material that is almost impossible to stretch. CarbonArmor is 10 times stronger in tension than steel and is specifically made to stabilize basement walls. 

This homeowner was experiencing sagging joists in his basement. SmartJacks are the ideal solution for supporting drooping or bowing floors and beams.  

This foundation was shifting and needed permanently stabilized. Using GeoLock anchors, heavy-duty earth anchors were embedded in stable soil that are connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. This system can be tightened during dry seasons, allowing your walls to completely straighten over time. Installers make sure once they are done, to cover the ground with the dirt and make it look good as new. 

This once rusted and failing beam was replaced with SmartJacks supports. This patented and proven support system can hold thousands of pounds of weight and lifts the joists back to the correct level. 

SmartJack supports were installed to replace this failing beam. Made of galvanized steel, SmartJacks never rust, and once installed, they provide immediate stabilization and lift.
