Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Columbus, OH homeowner noticed their floors beginning to sag in some places. We installed two SmartJack beams along their floor joists to help stabilize and support the home above.

Ruth S. in Columbus, OH called Mid-State Basement Systems because there were large stairstep cracks and horizontal bowing cracks that were bowing throughout her basement walls. We sent out our certified inspector, Mitch Mink, out to inspect the home and provide a free quote for repair. He suggested using PowerBrace I-Beams and CarbonArmor to repair and stabilize the walls.

Ruth decided this was the best option, so our crew, led by foreman Milton Castro, went out and installed these products. Both products will prevent further inward movement and the PowerBrace i-beams can be adjusted to straighten the walls more over time.

Ruth is happy with the results and no longer has concerns about the integrity of the basement walls.

The wall in this Gahanna, OH basement had two large stair-step cracks near each corner and the wall had shifted in quite a few centimeters. Inspector Evan Glancy recommended installing three PowerBrace steel I-beams. Foreman Manuel Inguil and his crew installed the beams, which help to support the wall and straighten it over time. 

We installed PowerBraces in this basement to stabilize the walls that were beginning to crack. 

This basement wall has developed a large horizontal crack—a common sign of bowing due to external soil pressure. As the foundation walls weaken, they start to push inward, compromising the home's structural integrity. Without reinforcement, the wall could continue to bow and eventually fail. Our team installed static beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement, ensuring the long-term safety of this home.
