Steve from Foundation Repair Boonville, IN just purchased this home and it had several issues such as Sagging Floors in Boonville, IN, rotten wood, and he thought there were some moisture issues in the crawl space. After searching on Google for companies that could repair sagging floors in Boonville, IN, Steve came across Healthy Spaces. Crawl spaces experiencing sagging, sloping, or uneven floors can be caused by columns settling due to weak soil/poor footings, rot-weakened joists, or support columns spaced too far apart.
Our Foundation installation team installed a new supplemental beam, along with repairing the sill plate and joists. We also installed 4 SmartJacks. Our SmartJack system provides support for sagging and undersized beams, which restores stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Now Steve can sleep with peace of mind knowing his home is back on a solid foundation.

Richland, IN homeowner Erin T. knew her crawl space wasn't in the best shape when she bought her home a few years ago. As time passed, she noticed her home gradually gaining a musty odor she didn't like. Every time she would come home and open the door, the smell would hit her. She gave Healthy Spaces a call and we set her up a free inspection.
One of our System Design Specialists, Mike McAtee, came to the rescue! He did a thorough inspection of Erins crawl space and sat down with her to discuss what he found. First of all, mold. This is what was causing the musty odor in her home. He recommended sending our mold crew out to remediate it, and she agreed. Along with that, he recommended having her crawl space encapsulated with CleanSpace. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.
Thanks to our crews, Erin can now walk into her home without a horrid smell hitting her.
A homeowner in Washington, IN, wanted to sell their home soon but wanted to take care of the cracks in the basement wall. This is a clever approach since this will increase the value of their home after. Foundation issues impact three important parts of your life, such as the impact on the safety of your home, your home’s value, and your peace of mind that is at risk. The cause of cracks in the walls is because of foundation settlement. Settlement is the movement your home experiences when the soil below can no longer support its weight. By repairing the cracks in the walls, the home has a chance of creating a higher value for itself.
To bring the wall together again, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System wall is set into place. Wall anchor systems comprise galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded in the soil out away from your foundation wall. They connect the wall to steel wall plates with galvanized steel rods. A benefit of a wall anchor system is the ability to be tightened during dry periods. The GeoLock wall anchors have a higher soil capacity, so they provide greater stability and are designed to straighten the failed wall. By taking action and improving the foundation of their home, they can now sell the home in the future with no trouble.
