Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Plainville had rotting sills in their basement and needed a footing extension to stabilize the home. One of our Sales Consultants, Brian DiRisi, went out to the home to assess the issues and provide them with a proper solution that our Foundation team would tackle. 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott, would install this job. They cut into the walls to be able to see the footings. They removed what was rotting and added cinder blocks as the extension. Then they added a new sill as a replacement for the rotting wood. Now this home has stable footings and sills, so the homeowner no longer needs to worry about their footings falling apart. 

A Wallingford homeowner had sagging floors above their basement. They reached out to us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a permanent solution to this issue. We sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Matt Kraus, who went to the home to evaluate the problem and he proposed our SmartJack solution. 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott, installed this job. Our SmartJacks are installed under the beams and are tightened to support and stabilize the floor above, while also making it level again. It can be tightened over time as well. Now this homeowner is left with peace of mind knowing their home is stable! 

A homeowner in Wallingford, CT, had a bowing wall in their basement. They contacted us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a permanent solution to eliminate their worries. One of our Salesmen, Vin Orsini, went to the home to assess the foundation wall and propose our CarbonArmor solution. 

Not long after, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Victor, and his crew to install the CarbonArmor. These carbon fiber strips are put on the walls to reinforce the wall and to ensure that no future bowing or cracking will occur.

Now that all the CarbonArmor strips are in place, this foundation is now stable and won't be damaged anymore, giving the homeowner great peace of mind. 

This house was suffering from settling foundation. Our solution to this problem is the use of our push pier system. This system allows us to go deep down through heavy duty steel foundation bracket to lift your home back to a level position. 

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!
