Before & After Photos

The initial call into Basement Systems USA was for basement waterproofing, the complaint was water would get in to the basement every time it would rain and then it would just progress with every rainfall, more and more water was getting in. When we got out there to assess the water issue, it became apparent that there was a problem with the customers foundation. To correct these foundation issues we installed two push piers and seven, 8' Power Braces.

Push Piers are installed and locked under the homes foundation, allowing the weight from the foundation, to transfer from the unstable soil, to the stabilized piers. Power Braces are installed by anchoring to your basement floor and floor joist. The Power Brace is designed to be tightened over time and can potentially reverse the failing wall.

Floors above the crawlspace were begining to sag in this new homeowners home. We came out it was deteremied the crawlspace needed a little more work than she had inspected.

There was moisture in the crawlspace causing areas of mold so first we treated the mold with a Mold X Treatment, then we installed a SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, waterguard a Smart Sump with floor alarm and Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier. The floors above the crawlspace had failing joist supports and rotted sill plates so we corrected the issue by replacing 11 sill plates, installed 5 Supplemental Steal Beams and 9 Smart Jacks.

Customer had a few cracks along the basement wall and when it would rain, water would seep in through the cracks. To take care of this we used our pattened product called FlexiSpan. Flexispan is a 2 part system, a crack sealant and a hidden, drainage channel that directs any leaking water to your sump pump. The drainage channel is permanently sealed to the foundation, and if there is any wall movement, the channel will flex with it. 

In order to put this property on the market, the customer had to take care of the horizontal crack on the foundation wall. The solution for this foundation repair was our Carbon Armor Wall reinforcement system. 

We used 12 Carbon Fiber strips which are made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10-times stronger than steel which strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are bowed or cracked and our ArmorLock system which stops inward wall movement by connecting the CarbonArmor fiber strips to the homes perimeter framing.

For this job, we came out to the customers home and replaced the current cinder blocks they were using as a support system, with our SmartJack System. Smart Jacks are adjustable supports that provide support to sagging floors and also lifts and restores them to their orignal position.
