Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

These Wadesville, IN homeowners were struggling against a nasty, smelly, musty crawlspace with periodic flooding for years.  They finally decided to have Healthy Spaces remediate and transform their crawlspace by installing a new door, CleanSpace vapor barrier, water removal system with SuperSump sump pump, and a full mold remediation.  

The feature that truly makes the most visual difference is the new Everlast Crawlspace Entry door.  As you can see in the above picture, the crawlspace entry was originally blocked with a painted piece of plywood.  The problem with plywood, and any organic material, is that it degrades so quickly in the elements.  The wood warps and swells, causing the paint to chip and bubble.  The whole entry becomes an eyesore very quickly.  On top of that, it becomes a petry dish for mold and fungus and is very inefficient energy-wise.

The new Everlast crawlspace door is a durable plastic that won't warp, bubble, bend, or fade through the seasons.  It maintains its shape and keeps a consistent seal along the entryway, allowing the crawlspace itself to remain drier and temperature constant than previously.  As you can see, it's a neutral shade that attractively blends with the home and it will remain that way for years to come.

This Robards foundation started off with a small crack above the garage door. Over the past few years that small crack turned into an even bigger one. They knew that they had to do something about this before the situation got worse, so they called Healthy Spaces to solve the problem. 

Our System Design Specialist, Mike Rogers, quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that the foundation was settling and recommended installing Helical Piers. With a plan set, Kyle Devine and his product team came out to the home to start the project. 

Helical Piers were installed around the outside perimeter of the home and garage. Once the soil was removed from the areas where the piers were being installed, heavy-duty foundation brackets were positioned below the footing. The weight of the home was then transferred through the helical piers to deep, competent soils. 

Signs of wall failure can show up differently depending on whether the home has a concrete block or poured concrete walls. For this homeowner in Robards, KY, they were showing signs of bowing walls starting to take place. 

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came out to asses their foundation and together they designed a solution that would permanently stabilize their home's foundation. Our Foundation crew, Tad and Garrett, installed 10 PowerBrace's. The PowerBrace system allows the system to be tightened over time, stopping wall failure without invasive drilling or digging on the property. PowerBrace's state-of-the-art brackets were engineered to provide strong joint reinforcement while also protecting the integrity of the home's floor system. 

Homeowner in New Harmony, IN was experiencing stair-step cracking throughout his basement wall. There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, but the main issue is the pressure from foundation soils. Installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the anchors aren't affected by the soil constantly moving. Foundation wall anchors extend out to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond your home, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall. 

Mike & Terri of New Harmony, IN, were experiencing their doors sticking, cracks in the interior walls around door frames, and could tell that their floors had a slope and not level. After doing a Google search on companies that did structural repair for sagging floors, they came across Healthy Spaces. After spending some time reading their reviews and looking at past work examples on their website, they decided to give them a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

After doing a thorough inspection, it was discovered that their floor joists were becoming weakened and started bending. Our team installed a new supplemental beam, along with 10 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Our SmartJack system permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in your crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists in the crawl space.
