Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Meriden, CT had a foundation that was cracked and settling, making the basement of the home very uneven. They called our Foundation Supportworks team at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a way to fix their big problems. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Gus Stozinic, drove to the home to visualize and understand the issues. He knew this would be a job for our Foreman Sergio Alves and Jacob Scott.

Eventually, it would be time to start the work. In order to install the push piers, a trench needed to be dug in the back of the house alongside the foundation. Once that was done, it would be time to begin push pier installation. These go below the footing of the foundation and are then steel pier sections that are hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach stable soil. Then the team would raise the foundation to ensure the house is no longer sagging and the cracks come together, but this is done slowly and carefully. Once the homeowner and Sergio were satisfied with the stabilization, the cracks were sealed on the outside and finally, it was time to backfill with soil. On the inside, the cracks were closed up, but sealed and waterproofed, and then CarbonArmor strips to strengthen and help stabilize the wall. Overall, this was a very large project, but the homeowner was very happy with the results, seeing her foundation was in great shape!

A homeowner in Higganum, CT had floors in their home that were not stable. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to have our foundation supportworks team come out and solve their problems. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Matt Kraus, went out to the home to assess the issues. He informed the homeowner that our team would need to install SmartJacks in the crawl space in order to stabilize the floors. 

Then it was time for one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott to do the installation. First, they installed the supplemental beams and then dug into the ground to fit in each SmarJack footing. Then they fully installed 9 SmartJacks, spacing them out under the beams. Once these were tight in place, the floor would become stabilized and there would be no sagging. This homeowner is happy with the results knowing their house is going to stay stable. 

A customer in Portland, CT had sagging floors and wanted a permanent solution. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems and we sent out our Salesmen, Bill Caple, to the home to evaluate the issues and propose a solution with our foundation repair systems. 

One of our Foremen, Victor Alves, and his crew installed this job. They installed our SmartJack system. These SmartJacks are installed to support the floor above and stabilize it. The crew installed 6 throughout the basement to stabilize and support the entire floor above. These galvanized steel jacks gest tightened to a specific pressure to ensure stability. They can also be tightened over time if need be. Now the floors are level and the house is stabilized from below! 

A homeowner in Vernon Rockville, CT had slight bowing in their foundation walls so they reached out to our foundation specialists at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution. One of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, visited the home to assess their foundation and propose a solution that would give the homeowner peace of mind! 

Soon it would be time for one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott to install the CarbonArmor strips. These carbon fiber strips are epoxied to the wall to strengthen and stabilize the bowing of the foundation. These carbon fibers are 10 times stronger than steel and easily installed, so this is a quick and permanent solution to stabilize and reinforce this wall! Now this homeowner has peace of mind of their basement walls! 

A homeowner in Hebron called us and said they had a shifting and settling foundation that they wanted us to repair. We sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, to the home to assess the issues and propose a solution that will solve this problem for good! 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and his helper Jacob Scott, would tackle the installation of this job. This job required push piers. They installed multiple around the outside of the home. These piers get installed below the foundation footing where they drive steel piers into the ground to lift the home into place and stabilize it. Once it is lifted and stabilized to a certain pressure that the homeowner is satisfied with, then the crew caps off each push pier bracket. Now this home is stable and has lifted into position.
