JLB Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing

I don't usually write reviews but I'm making an exception because this company literally saved our house. We had these horizontal cracks in our basement block walls that kept getting wider and the wall was bowing inward probably three or four inches. I was legitimately scared it was going to collapse. Got quotes from three different companies and the range was insane - from $9,000 to $22,000 for the same work. These guys came in around $12,000 and the inspector really took his time explaining exactly what was happening and why. The clay soil around our house expands when it rains and that lateral pressure was pushing the wall in. They installed wall anchors where they dig holes outside the house, drive anchors into stable soil, and then connect them through the wall with steel rods that you can tighten to pull the wall back straight. The work took three days and the crew was fantastic. They showed up on time every morning, worked hard, and cleaned up the site each day. The wall is completely stable now and has actually straightened back out about an inch and a half over the past few months. They said it might continue to improve as the anchors keep pulling. I check it regularly and there's been zero movement. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

Our basement wall was failing and honestly it was terrifying. Started with these stair-step cracks in the mortar joints and then the whole wall started leaning inward. You could actually see it if you stood in the basement and looked at the wall straight on. Got multiple opinions and everyone agreed we needed wall bracing or anchors immediately. Went with these guys because they seemed the most knowledgeable about the specific soil conditions here and their price was competitive. They installed a combination of wall anchors and carbon fiber straps to stabilize the wall and prevent any further movement. The wall has been completely stable for over a year now and hasn't budged an inch. Really professional crew and solid work.
