This customer in Goodlettsville, TN, called Frontier for their basement wall repair. We installed a PowerBrace system for the bowing and buckling walls. The PowerBrace™ System includes a unique, patented adjustment mechanism, unlike any other I-beam foundation wall repair system. The bracket that anchors each I-beam to a floor joist includes a long bolt that can be tightened over time to advance the I-beam. This can force a bowed or buckled foundation wall back toward its original vertical & straight position. The potential for straightening depends on several factors, including soil conditions outside the foundation.
The owner of this Orlinda, TN home was concerned with the prolonged stability of their home's floor joists. Looking at the floors from inside the crawlspace, we noticed the water damage that was affecting the home's cinderblock supports. As a solution, we installed SmartJacks supports in tandem with the cinderblock supports. Unlike the existing supports, the SmartJacks can be easily adjusted to offer continued support as the home continues to naturally settle.
The homeowner was happy with the proposed solution and the subsequent work that was completed.
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.
