Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Our crews replaced the foundation that was no longer able to safely support this Gardiner home. The blocks were laid, then we applied a waterproofing coating and liner to help water drain away from the home.

This home's foundation was unsafe and needed to be rebuilt. We temporarily rasied up the house on our Foundation Supportworks Piers to make it safe to work under the home. Our owner, Dale Giraudin, personally came to the job site and built the new wall himself! 

This home in Gardiner, NY needed a new foundation built and a gravity drainage line installed. Our installers take great care  when working with heavy machinery around the home, and do their best to clean up as much as possible!

After completing an interior remodel project in their home these homeowners realized that there was an issue with their home. More specifically that their stove was crooked, and throughout the entirety of their home, they had issues with bouncy and creaking floors. What they didn't realize until they went exploring was that between the right rear wall of their home they had a large crack, which was due to the home settling. Due to the settlement of the home, the cracks were spreading into their home through the sheetrock. As well they noticed that the front right corner of the house had a crack that seemed to be causing the same damage to the front of the home as the crack in the back was doing

For us to save their home before it was too late, we excavated around the perimeter of their home and installed 12 Stabil-Loc push pier systems, which spaned from the corner of their porch to the backside of their home past their sliding glass door. Once our systems were in place we then backfilled the excavation area and roughly graded it. 

By implementing our piering system we were able to lift, level, stabilize and true their home to the best of our ability. During the lifting process while standing on the deck the homeowner could notice a significant difference almost immediately with the small amount of lifting that we had done before their project was fully completed. They could not have been happier with the outcome of their project, but more importantly, they are so glad that they do not have to worry at night about whether or not their home is going to fall over. 

This homeowner recently purchased their new home. Because it was constructed with a poured concrete foundation and block walls, the walls began to bow. This led to the formation of stair-stepping cracks and the infiltration of both water and moisture. Because of the numerous projects that we have completed in the past, this homeowner decided to contact Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could help 

To take care of the issues at hand, we first had to install our temporary supports. After installing our temporary supports, we marked out and jackhammered our poured footings. Once done, we started to excavate. The excavation was done so that we could have access to knock down and rebuild the wall, as well as to waterproof their foundation. Finally, once done, we knocked down their old block foundation wall.

Once done, we turned our attention to creating a form for our new footing. Our footing would be made of concrete and rebar. Specifically numbers four and five. Once done, we were able to start rebuilding the block wall. After completing the erection of the wall, we applied both our patented waterproofing products to keep all moisture and water out. As well as a parge to it to give it that brand new foundation look.

Next, we installed six of our SmartJack foundation supports on top of the footings we had previously created, formed, and poured. These SmartJacks would bear the weight of our new 2x12' quadruple main girder. Before packing up and calling this project complete we roughly backfilled the area that we had excavated.

After completing this project for these homeowners, they noticed a tremendous difference in their home's structural integrity. More importantly than anything to these homeowners peace of mind had been restored. They can now sleep at night knowing that their home will never fall over. They could not be happier with how their project turned out and are glad that they invested in their home.
