Our client in Fort Branch, IN, had a basement with a support system that was uneven and unable to properly handle the weight of the home above. This issue was causing structural instability, and if left unaddressed, it could have led to serious problems like sagging floors or more significant damage to the property over time.
Our team installed the SmartJack XT system and a Supplemental Beam, providing the necessary support to stabilize the structure and prevent uneven, sagging floors. The SmartJack XT and Supplemental Beam are both fully galvanized to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability. Additionally, the jacks can be adjusted as needed in the future to maintain proper support, safeguarding the home for years to come.
Our client has lived in their home in Harrisburg, IL for the past 10 years. And for the last 5 years, they started noticing horizontal-stair-step cracking in their basement wall, along with a portion of the wall beginning to bow. They would also get water coming in where the floor and the wall meet. Wanting to use their basement more for storage, they were worried that their belongings would get ruined the next rainfall. After searching online, they came across work Healthy Spaces had previously done in Harrisburg, IL, so they gave us a call for a free inspection!
Our team installed 4 GeoLock Wall Anchors in their basement wall, along with a full perimeter drainage system that directs water to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors will permanently stabilize their foundation walls by installing earth anchors that are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the foundation wall, preventing it from further damage. Over time you can tighten them, allowing you the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position. Our client now has peace of mind that their foundation is safe, and their important items are saved from any future rainfall.
A home in Albion, IL, had a basement with a poor drainage system that persisted for many years. The block walls contained horizontal cracking, which was caused by the foundation settlement. Cracked walls can be a scary sight, but luckily, it is treatable. When the soil around the home has experienced heavy rainfall, that is now drying up, the foundation is affected. The soil will expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing the foundation to move and form cracks.
The GeoLock Wall Anchor system is engineered to stop wall failure and will perform in any soil type. This system requires soil on the outside of the foundation for the steel rods to be secured. The wall anchor system can fix severed problems such as leaning walls and wall sliding in at the bottom. The process presents minimal disturbance from installation. The homeowner was satisfied with the finished result!
Homeowner in New Harmony, IN was experiencing stair-step cracking throughout his basement wall. There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, but the main issue is the pressure from foundation soils. Installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the anchors aren't affected by the soil constantly moving. Foundation wall anchors extend out to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond your home, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall.
