Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner Mike, who lives in Boonville, IN, has noticed that his floors have begun to slowly sag over the years. After doing some research, he reached out to Healthy Spaces to have his situation assessed. Design Specialist, Donnie Stuteville, looked at her issue and proposed him a SmartJack System. 

The SmartJack System is made of zinc-plate and hot-dip galvanized steel to prevent rust and eliminate weakening from moisture, mold, and wood rot. They had a load capacity of more than 60,000 pounds making them ideal for stabilizing a home's sagging floor. The concrete is dug up and filled with tightly-compacted crushed stone to provide the proper weight barring exertion needed for each column. Once the holes are filled, the SmartJacks are installed and cemented down to the floor and connected to the girder system. Each SmartJack is tightened to permanently stabilize the floor, and even potentially lift the floors back to level.

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.

Homeowners Robert and Juliet of Lynville, IN began to worry when they saw visible cracks in their foundation. This is often a sign of your home settling. It was bulging out due to swelling soils.  The soil was swelling because groundwater was present. That created another problem--leaking walls.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was called out to help these homeowners. Upon inspection, they decided that the PowerBrace System would be the best fit for the problem. The PowerBrace System is designed to permanently stabilize your home's foundation. Its purpose is to support basement walls and allows for straightening over time. It has a joist reinforcement method which helps with distributing the weight evenly. This eliminates the worry of damaged wood floor joists that are common with other foundation correcting systems. 

Do you have stair-step cracking in your basement walls? Kathie's home in Foundation Repair Newburgh, IN had stair-step cracking all throughout her basement. In one area, the wall started to bow in. The walls begin to fail when there's so much pressure being exerted from the soil surrounding the home. After being referred by her neighbor, Kathie called to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate to repair her basement walls.

Our team installed 18 Wall Repair Newburgh, IN to the failing foundation walls. This wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. This holds the wall in place and will straighten the wall back to its original position over time. 

This home in Greenville, KY needed a way to stabilize their garage beams. They seemed to be sagging, and they didn't want it to become even worse than it already was. They gave us a call at Healthy Space, and Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was happy to come out, and see the problem.

After Damon did a thorough inspection of the home, he concluded that SmartJacks would be the best fit for this home. SmartJacks are steeled support systems used to permanently stabilize and level girders and floor joists. They don't replace the existing columns and piers but add strength and stability to what is there. They should be used to lift the above floors and walls back toward their original position, reduce floor 'bounce' caused by excessive floor joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all. Because of their design, the SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. They can also hold up to 60,000 pounds!
