This homeowner in Columbia, CT noticed that their foundation was starting to bubble and cave in. Thankfully, they were in great hands once they called us at Connecticut Basement Systems. Sales Consultant Tim Kane was able to take a look at this foundation and provide an estimate for the homeowner. Once the date was set, our foreman, Sergio Alves, brought his team in to tackle this foundation!
They installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. This will stabilize the bowing walls, forcing them back into their original position. This crew will revisit the home in approximately 1-2 months to tighten and possibly push the wall in. Soon enough, this foundation will be as good as new!
A homeowner in Oakdale had a foundation that was cracking and settling, so they reached out to us to find a solution to the problem. One of our Sales Consultants, Matt Kraus, went out to the home to assess the issues and provide them with an estimate for a system that would solve the foundation problem.
Our crew, consisting of Foreman, Sergio Alves, and his helper, Jacob Scott, installed Push Piers on this job. They installed 8 under the foundation. The crew uses hydraulics to drive steel piers into the ground to lift and stabilize the foundation. This gives the homeowner peace of mind knowing this permanent solution will keep their home stable.
