In this Gratiot, OH basement, a foundation wall was bowing inward—putting the structure at risk. With six static beams now firmly installed, the wall is stabilized and the home is back on solid ground.
Our crew installed 2 SmartJackXT Support Posts to stabilize this wall!
We replaced these old, rotting wooden support posts with our SmartJack System. These support posts provide an effective, durable solution for leveling and stabilizing damaged crawl spaces. Unlike concrete blocks and wood that will only sink further into the ground, the SmartJack provides a permanent solution.
The stairstep cracking in this basement alarmed the homeowner and they wanted a solution, fast. Our crew installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the foundation wall. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is easily adjustable, allowing for tightening of the brace to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position.
This basement was facing multiple structural concerns, including bowing walls and sagging floor support. Our crew installed steel I-beams along the foundation walls to halt inward movement and reinforce stability. To support the floor system above, we also replaced the main load-bearing beam and installed a SmartJack adjustable post beneath it. These combined solutions not only secured the foundation walls but also restored strength and levelness to the home’s flooring system.
