This Grand Mound basement wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. Leaky windows, bowing walls – yikes! But the homeowners knew who to call.

The result? A complete basement transformation! No more dampness, just a bright, dry, and healthy space ready for living and enjoyment.
In Rock Island, IL, a homeowner faced unsettling concerns about the structural integrity of their main level floors, which seemed unsteady. To address this, we installed the SmartJack system. Notice in the 'after' photo how our solution has stabilized the beams and floor joists in the basement. The galvanized steel SmartJacks effectively redistribute the home's weight, lifting the floors back towards their original elevation and reducing any unwanted bounce.
