Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

With cracking in this Edwardsport, IN basement walls happening before homeowner, Seth S. eyes, he knew it was a project much larger than he could fix himself. A few years ago, the crack started out small, but over time it widened and grew. He decided to give Healthy Spaces a call about his foundation issues, and an appointment was quickly set. 

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to Seth's home and did a thorough inspection of his basement. Once they put a plan together, our foundation crew came out and installed PowerBraces to support the walls. The PowerBrace is an adjustable steel I-beam system with two important benefits: stabilizing bowed or tilting walls, and (over time) forcing bowed or tilting wall sections back to their original position. All PowerBrace components are manufactured to exacting standards, with an anti-corrosion zinc coating that will keep them looking like new for decades to come!

Donna in Tennyson, IN, had a basement wall that was bowing and recently started leaking water when it would rain. Their neighbor had work done in their home by Healthy Spaces and referred Donna to us. 

The soil around your home can put enormous pressure on foundation walls. When there's constant pressure on your foundation walls from the outside, and the only thing holding up your foundation wall is the wall itself, the wall will either bow or crack. In Donna's case, her wall started bowing.

Our team installed 5 GeoLock Wall Anchors. Wall anchors are placed in the ground outside the home. Steel rods attached to soil anchors extend through the foundation wall and wall plates. Wall plates will hold walls in their current position without any further adjustment. A cool benefit of wall anchor systems is their ability to be tightened during dry periods, allowing for more straightening of your wall over time.

This Owensboro homeowner had concerns of her home settling and sagging floors. Foundation problems can seem like an extreme problem. However, if you identify the damage before it comes too advanced, most foundations have simple, permanent solutions! 

For this project, our team started by installing a supplemental beam in the crawl space. SmartJack supports were then installed to support the floor joist system. 

In Monroe City, IN, a home with a basement needed repairs to the cracks that were spreading throughout the basement walls. The crack was in the middle of the walls that spread throughout the rest of the walls, leading to wall failure. If a problem such as this one is not solved, then it can lead to severe issues such as leaning walls and walls sliding in at the bottom of the structure. The homeowners needed reassurance that their basement walls would not give out soon. 

A GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed to stop wall failure in its tracks permanently. The rectangular, silver wall anchor system performs effectively by utilizing plates that are buried in the soil outside the basement wall. It will be installed to have up to 480 square inches of bearing surface. This system provides great stability and is designed to straighten the basement’s wall failure. The GeoLock Anchor System presents minimal disturbance to the home, lawn, and landscaping. Without the disturbance of their landscaping, it thrilled the homeowners about not having to worry about wall failure anymore!

The owners of this home in Boonville, IN were experiencing uneven floors throughout their home and were interested in fixing this problem. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and together they decided that the SmartJack system was the best solution. 

SmartJacks are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. They are able to support 60,000 lbs. The SmartJacks were installed directly into the foundation floor, extending 3 feet tall, permanently stabilizing, lifting the home and providing level floors.
