This rental property owner needed to secure the foundation of the building he bought so that he could rent out the units. He looked into foundation repair companies in the Denver area, as he didn't know much about the area because he lived out of state, he came across our services and he gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the rental property's foundation and determine what would be best to help solve the foundation issues. When Anthony arrived, he was shocked at the amount of wall damage that had occurred. Anthony found that all of the walls had some degree of failure and lateral movement; Two of the walls were scoped out for full replacement because of how severe their degree failure was. After the thorough inspection, Anthony gave the homeowner a call to discuss what damage had occurred as well as what solutions we could offer to fix this problem. The rental property owner thought these solutions seemed the most thorough of all the solutions he had heard, so he decided to have our team fixed his foundation wall problems.
One of our installation teams went to fix the wall problems in the home shortly after the homeowner moved forward with our services. The team utilized GeoLock Earth Anchors on the two walls with less degrees of damage. After an engineer report surfaced from the rental property owner, our team was able to accommodate the other two severely failing walls by installing our EverBrace Wall System which acts as a new wall for stabilizing the property. The report also stated that new support posts were needed in the center support beam to have proper support, so our team also installed SmartJacks to stabilize the center support beam.
After all this work was complete, the rental property owner was very relieved that he could start renovations for the rental properties to be rented out. Although this project was tough, our team was able to stabilize all of the walls and give the rental property owner a chance to renovate his property.

This homeowner was ready to remodel the upstairs of her home, when she noticed that all the floors were sloping towards the middle of the home. She recognized that something was wrong and unstable about her home, so she wanted to fix this issue before remodeling. She gave us a call to have an inspection done on her home.
We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the foundation and give the customer a comprehensive explanation of the problem. Anthony noticed that the floors were sagging due to an interior support beam that was sloping significantly due to a lack of support posts. Anthony and his team knew just what to do, so they began work right away when the customer decided on the solution she would move forward with. The team removed both existing posts and began drilling two helical soil nails deep into the earth. The Helical Piers System can support our SmartJacks, which were then installed so that the home's support beam now has proper support posts that run deep into the earth.
The homeowner was very impressed with the whole process and the installation. Check out her home's new support system!
This homeowner was concerned with his home's foundation and the interior damage that was starting to occur as a result. Our team went out to take a look at the issue and concluded that hydrostatic pressure pushing on the walls from the outside caused wall deflection. Deflection is the bending of joists, trusses, or rafters. We used over 20 PowerBraces and 4 push piers to fix the foundation on all sides of the home. PowerBrace is a system that can be tightened over time, slowly reversing the wall failure.
This homeowner was worried about his wall coming into his finished basement further because it had already started to cause interior damage. The reason this was happening was because hydrostatic pressure from his backfilled area was pushing on the area, causing it to move in. To fix the problem, we installed 5 GeoLock earth anchors to stabilize his wall and straighten them over time. Plus, we ended up finishing this project without disturbing the basement!
This homeowner had to pull her house off the market due to structural issues. She wanted these foundation issues addressed and fixed in a timely manner so she could sell her home at full value. The soil on the outside of the wall had pushed the poured wall in about an inch, causing cracks in both corners and several drywall cracks in the finished area. We installed GeoLock earth anchors to permanently stabilize the foundation wall and prevent more inward movement.
