Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Large cracks in the basement wall are a sign that the wall is failing and could possibly cave in. A basement wall is mainly held in place by straight up and down pressure, so when that wall is straight it works. As soon as the wall starts to bow inward, it loses strength. Some walls take forever to get really bad, while other break and fall apart very quickly. There is no way of telling if the wall will ever fall in, but why take that chance? Getting it fixed now will save a lot of money in the long run. It also makes it easier to sell the home if you can pass on a huge warranty to the new owners.

Ever since this homeowner moved in, they noticed a crack in the basement wall. During dry seasons it was never a concern; however, rainy seasons quickly led to water leaking and puddles on the ground. After a while, this homeowner became frustrated with the inability to finish the basement or even use it for storage. They knew they needed a basement and foundation expert to take a look and help them fix this consistent problem.

Everyone has tripped on a broken on uneven sidewalk at some point in their life. Most of you might recall a time in your childhood when you were running while playing and fell and skinned your knee after tripping on a bump in the sidewalk.

When this Cambridge homeowner came to us for help, this was exactly the type of thing he was trying to avoid. The sidewalk in front of his house was sinking over an inch in one spot. He looked up how to fix it online and came across DryZone's website. The inspector was able to discuss a few options for correcting the problem, and mudjacking the sidewalk slab was what the homeowner chose. A thick mixture of grout and concrete are pumped under the slab through a few small holes that the crew drills beforehand. Once everything is cleaned up, the sidewalk is good as new and back to being level with the rest of the slabs. Now it is no longer a major tripping hazard.

This home was in need of structural repairs due to wood rot caused by moisture and mold. After Smart Jacks installation, their home is now stable.
