This homeowner in Grand Island, NY, called in because they noticed foundation problems with their home. The homeowner noticed their basement wall bowing inwards, as well as a horizontal crack that went the length of their wall that commonly leaked water whenever it rained. Since the homeowner did not know where the water was coming from and the bowing wall was cause for immediate concern, they called Frank's.
To combat their wet basement and bowing wall, our crew came in and installed our patented PowerBrace I-Beam foundation repair system, which can actually be tightened with annual maintenance to straighten out the wall. This homeowner will never have to worry about water seepage again.
A total of (5) five primed steel I beams were installed in this basement to improve its structural integrity.
When Michael’s kitchen floor began to crack and buckle in his Lawton, NY home, he realized that something underneath was seriously wrong. Below his kitchen was a crawlspace that had multiple cinder block supports that had begun to shift and crack, causing instability to the floor above. Frank’s Basement Systems was able to go in and install several SmartJacks to replace the old supports, and now Michael’s kitchen floor is stable and ready to be used without worries of what’s happening below.
