Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer in Chapel Hill, TN had foundation settlement issues in his basement. The walls were cracking, bowing, and tilting. Foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt in at the top. To fix this issue we installed a Wall Anchor System. This included Geo-Lock Wall Anchors as indicated using a 5 ft channel wall support and small earth anchors. This will permanently stabilize his base walls and stop any further damage to the home. 

It’s easy to see from these photos that these homeowners were struggling with moisture weighing down on their insulation. It was so heavy that huge chunks were falling down. The homeowners contacted Frontier for a solution.  A full encapsulation of their crawl space was done, and the homeowners could not be happier! The results are stunning.

Improper footings were installed in this home, so we removed the columns and installed proper footings with adjustable columns called Smart Jacks.

Most crawl space doors are made from wood or metal that rot, rust, and deteriorate over time. Our crawl space doors are made from a non-organic material that will not rot, rust, or fall apart. It contains an air-tight seal so no moisture, humidity, or unwanted pest can enter your crawl space!

This homeowner in Hendersonville, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to have their basement waterproofed. One of the main aspects of basement waterproofing involves installing a sump pump system. This system is installed in the lowest part of the basement. That way water will run through the WaterGuard drainage system or DryTrak monolithic floor drain and directly into the sump pump. This water is then pumped out into the sump pump discharge line. This line directs water out and away from the home. To install this drainage line, we dig out a small trench outside the basement, place the line inside, and then cover it up with dirt. The only thing that is not buried is where the water drains out.
