This Tennessee family was experiencing some foundation issues in their 100 year old house and asked us to give them a permanent solution. Our inspector came out and looked around. He noted cracked cement and cracks in their exterior chimney. Their doors also had a hard time closing correctly and the floors seemed bouncy. Under the house, he saw the wood was getting weak and slightly molding. Sometimes, the weight of the furniture and occupants become too much and the floors and walls begin to sag. That, plus the molding beams only meant the home was going to get worse.
Our inspector suggested our SmartJack System to lift the home back up and the homeowners agreed that was the best solution.
Our crew installed the steel adjustable SmartJack stabilizers and steel supporting beams under the home.
Smart Jacks are designed to stop settling and can raise your sagging floor back to the proper level.
The homeowners were excited to have a foundation they did not have to worry about in their forever home.
Cement is heavy and this Tennessee family was figuring out just how heavy their porch steps were. They had some cracking and sinking cement problems and wanted it to get fixed asap before any more damage occurred. Their porch had sunk about 2-3 inches and because of this, it pushed back on the cement sidewalk which caused cracks.
Our inspector came over and discussed our concrete solutions with them. We use a special foam to lift sunken slabs and this was the perfect product for them. This product is our PolyLevel System and is done by boring small (penny-sized) holes in the slab, and using specially designed equipment to inject a structural-grade polymer into the void. After the void is filled, the expanding properties of the polyurethane foam allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. Finally, the small holes are grouted and sealed, and the slab is completely restored.
We also used NexusPro Sealant to seal up their cracks (not pictured), which is a silicone-based sealant that prevents water ice and dirt from infiltrating the concrete joint and the ground below.
They were so happy to fix their porch and sidewalk and we were thrilled to be able to offer them permanent solutions!

The customer in Cross Plains, TN called Frontier when they noticed moisture issues and mold growth in their crawl space. For this project, we cleaned up the debris in the crawl space and then remediated the mold issue. After that to prevent the problem from reoccurring we installed Drainage matting, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a drainage system that included an IceGuard and LawnScape system.
These homeowners in Cornersville had a lot of sinking of their front porch. They were concerned someone would trip and needed to get this fixed. The results are amazing!
The concrete driveway going into the garage, patio and around the pool had cracks due to settling. The repairs for this included Install Poly Level to level concrete and to clean up and prepare cracks as needed and apply Nexus Pro joint sealant.
