Floor joist and beams had started to sag and cause movement of the structure of the home, doors, and windows not wanting to open or close right, high and low spots on the floor.. etc. By installing the SmartJack system and not relying on crumbling, sinking, and falling blocks for support, we are able to support and straighten things back out for this home.
These longtime homeowners of a 1972 home started experiencing foundation issues a few years ago. The wall had shifted and cracked, which brought in water whenever it rained heavy. They were tired of the headache and stress it brought, so they took up our offer for a free inspection and called us up!
Our inspector suggested our Geo-Lock Wall Anchors System to permanently stabilize the walls.
The common culprit for bowing and cracking foundation walls is the pressure from surrounding foundation soils.
One of the problems with foundation soils is that while the earth is continually pressing against the outside of the walls, nothing on the inside is equalizing that pressure. Foundation wall anchors address this problem by "gripping" the inside surface of the wall and countering that pressure.
Our favorite thing about the wall anchors is that they will gradually straighten the wall over time!

We also installed a drainage system to collect the rainwater and lead it away from the home.

This Nashville family was having issues with a moist and cold crawlspace, AND were having problems with their foundation. In order to fix their moisture problem, we installed the SaniDry Sedona and Condensate Pump to ensure higher air quality and to eliminate the growth of any more mold that might occur, because of the moist crawlspace.
We also installed CleanSpace Liner and CleanSpace Drainage Matting to encapsulate the crawl space to help with the moisture and drafty floors.
We installed a few supplemental beams and Smart Jacks to support their already sagging beams. The crawlspace jacks are strong and adjustable, so they can easily be moved in the future. The SmartJack steel tube is manufactured with a triple-layer, in-line galvanized coating, so they are protected from corrosion!
The family has been in the home for 3 weeks but purchased the home knowing the floors needed additional support. Fixing correctly, permanently was the priority but the warranty was also important. They now have a safe and solid structure to plan their future.
We replaced the old supports in this Nashville, TN home with new SmartJacks to support the home's floors. Unlike the original supports, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time as the home continues to settle. The homeowner is happy with the quality of work that was completed.
