Before & After Photos

This homeowner was worried that her retaining wall would fall and her deck to collapse as they were both unsteady. She knew after having used our services in the past that we would be able to help ease these worries and find solutions for her again, so she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Brock Scott to inspect the retaining wall and deck structures in order to thoroughly understand the problems and design solutions to stabilize the structure. When inspecting for the problem, Brock noticed that the house appeared to have significant water damage to the wooden support wall as well as weakened soil due to soil washout. He knew that this damage would not be beneficial for supporting the deck, so he found that new support posts and anchors were needed. One of our installation teams came to the home and started to utilize SmartJacks to reinforce the deck supports and to support the roof structure in that area. After that, they utilized GeoLock Wall Anchors to pull the retaining wall back overtime which would help the structure to further stabilize.

The homeowner was extremely happy when it was all said and done. She was especially thankful that the crew took note of the plants nearby and avoided harming them. Check out the new wall anchors pulling the wall back into place!

This customer reached out to us because her seawall next to her yard and home was falling toward the lake. She didn't want to have to deal with the cost and hassle of replacing it if and when it fell all the way in.

When we performed an inspection, we concluded the seawall was falling toward the lake because it had no support on one side and a lot of pressure from the soil on the other. 

This isn't a typical job for us, but we are always happy to take on a challenge and solve a unique problem. To fix the wall, we installed GeoLock anchors to secure the wall on the side of the water. This will give that added support on the side that didn't have anything and will prevent the pressure from the soil from caving in. 

The customer's house was built around an old foundation. The original foundation is from the 1880's and is made of stone. The additional foundation was putting weight on the stone walls and causing them to fail. There was 6 inches of deflection on the wall. We used Everbrace because of the severity of the issue. The wall failure was to the point that this was our only option. 

Homeowner Jeanne was looking for a better solution to repair her sagging floors to ensure the home was stable.  Since she was a previously satisfied customer, she chose us to help her with this issue.

System Design Specialist, Kerry headed out to provide Jeanne a free same-day free estimate.  We determined that we needed to install a steel supplemental beam under the center support beam.  We then added additional Smart Jacks to support the beam which helped stabilize the floor.

This homeowner recently purchased two cabins in Okoboji, one on the water, and one for family to stay in when they came to visit. While she didn't know that her foundation walls were problematic when she purchased the cabin for her family to stay at, she quickly noticed the wall crumbling and she was unsure of what to do. She saw our team doing work across the street for a neighbor, and she came over to see if we could take a look at her wall.

Service Technician Wes Marshall came right over after he finished up his original project to inspect this homeowner's walls. Wes found that the north foundation wall was starting to crumble into pieces and that the wall was starting to slide inwards, past the bottom brick. Wes realized that this was a big problem that could be solved if the homeowner acted quickly. Our team got to work quickly installing our EverBrace System which is used only in extreme cases of wall failure because it acts as a new foundation wall. 

The homeowner was so happy with the finished product and she was relieved that she didn't need to have a new foundation wall poured for the cabin. Check out her EverBrace System!
