Lisa S. had sagging floors in her St.Catharines home and wanted to add a support beam to secure her sagging floors.
Omni Basement Systems installed the SmartJacks by Supportworks. Smartjacks are engineered, fully galvanized and adjustable house jacks. Combined with a supplemental support beam, Omni was able to support her floor properly.
Brian experince foundation settllement in his St catharines house. It was getting worse over the past couple years so he called Omi Basement Systems to see how it could be repaired.
Omni along with a P. Eng engineer came up with a plan for Supportwoks Push Pier System.
Pictured is the crack that formed at the corner of the window.
Mackenzie has a home in St. Catharines with a block foundation. the foundation wall is being waterproofed but before we do that, we have to address the bowing wall.
Omni basement Systems installed the Carbon Armor system from Supportworks. Carbon Armor is made up of two parts. A ArmorLock stap of carbon fiber which is attache by steel clip to the wall and the rim joist to prevent the wall from tipping and then a 7" wide strip of Carbon Fiber is adhered to the Block wall from top to bottom of the block foundation. The carbon Fiber staps are 20 times stronger than steel steel strapping.
Derek has a crawlspace in Ridgeway, ON. The floor is soft in places and un-level as well. Omni Basement Systems installed the galvanized Smartjacks and a supplemental beam to support the floor. The current supports were merely blocks that had been shimmed a multiple of times.
Bob has a house in Niagara Falls, ON, with a large crack in the poured concrete foundation. The crack's size and angle determined that the wall was tipping in and needed to be supported. Along with waterproofing, Omni Basement Systems installed PowerBraces to support the wall. PowerBraces are fully galvanized "I" beams bolted to the footing and then a specially designed bracket by Supportworks connects it to the floor joist system. A large adjustment bolt can be used to put a bowing or tipping wall back in place over time.
