Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Milford, CT had a foundation that was not properly stabilized. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to have us find a solution to this issue. While on a service call, one of our Service Technicians, Mike Furlo, went into the basement to assess the issues and propose a solution that our foundation team would be able to install. 

Then it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott to work on the installation. They installed two supplemental beams to the crawlspace. This would then be supported by 6 SmartJacks. These are jacks that are installed under the supplemental beam to hold it up. Once these SmartJacks are installed, they are then tightened to ensure stability in the foundation and the floor above the crawlspace. How much they tightened the SmartJacks was up to the homeowner and how much stability they wanted. Overall, with the SmartJack system, this floor and house will stay stable and completely supported going forward. 

A homeowner in Waterbury, CT had a settling foundation and cracks in their foundation. They made the right decision when they called our foundation supportworks team at Connecticut Basement Systems to come solve their problems. One of our Sales Consultants, Matt Kraus, went out to the home to estimate the issues and determine what our team would need to get done. 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott worked on this project. They would install 5 push piers below the footing of the foundation in order to make the home stable. They also used PolyLevel and injected it into the floor to ensure that the basement was stable and level. The cracks in the foundation were repaired and sealed. Now this basement will have a level and stable foundation moving forward! 

This West Haven crawl space flooded with 2 feet of water and the homeowners needed a solution to repair and prevent this damage from reoccurring. They quickly gave Connecticut Basement Systems a call to solve the problem.

Our System Design Specialist, Brad Glazer, quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that the crawl space would need SmartJacks, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, a CleanSpace Liner and a Sanidry to repair the damage. With a plan set, Garfield Sanderson and his production team came to the home to start the project.

Smart Jacks were installed to the crawl space to stabilize sagging beams and provide a secure environment, supporting loads of more than 60,000 pounds. Then, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to keep the basement dry with the protection of its 3-pump system. CleanSpace Liner was placed in the crawlspace, which is the durable white material seen in the after photo. The CleanSpace Liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through the walls and floors. Lastly, the Sanidry was installed to control humidity and prevent basement mold and mildew. The combination of all of these basement waterproofing products will ensure a pleasant dry crawl space.

As you can see from the after picture, this West Haven crawl space is in perfect order and is waterproof. Now these homeowners are worry free of having a flood destroy their space again thanks to Connecticut Basement Systems.

A homeowner in New Haven had a brick foundation that was starting to bow and crumble. Instead of replacing their entire foundation, they called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to have a specialist come out and provide a solution that will solve this problem. Our salesmen informed the homeowner that they would need our Form and Pour system to create a new foundation wall that would stabilize the home. 

Our Foreman, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott installed this job. They created a form in front of the problematic foundation wall. Then they poured concrete behind the form to create a new wall that will support the existing foundation. With this, the homeowner will have peace of mind knowing their foundation isn't going to collapse and they didn't have to replace their entire foundation.
