A prospect in Evansville, Indiana, contacted Healthy Spaces regarding his basement. The commercial property had a basement that had severe leaking alongside the walls. The floor above had sagging floors, that needed to be held up. The owner was interested in waterproofing and repairing the foundation.
To collect any water that would enter the basement, the WaterGuard System was installed alongside the walls. This system has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks. It will carry the water toward the sump pump. Lastly, the sagging floor was held up using the SmartJack system. Heavy-duty SmartJacks addresses weak foundation soils, or the effects changing moisture conditions can have on these soils. It lifted the above floors back toward their original position. Having a safe foundation and a reliable water system left the owner feeling satisfied. It was a job well done!
In Bristow, Indiana, a family was in desperate need of repairing the foundation of their home. One of the family members reached out to Healthy Spaces informing us that the was sinking and the floors were unlevel. For the foundation to be restored to its natural position, it needed a permanent solution.
The push pier system is a great system when lifting the home back up to its original position. To install the system, the soil needs to be removed from around the foundation's footing, where the pier will be installed. Next, a specially engineered steel bracket is placed under the footing for the steel pier sections to be driven through. The weight of the home will then be transferred from the concrete foundation, through the steel bracket and piers, to the deep load-bearing soil or bedrock. The family felt a sense of peace that their home would not be a risk anymore.
In Evansville, Indiana a homeowner reach out to Healthy spaces needing a quote. His basement had water leaking in due to a rainstorm that happened recently. During the inspection, stair-step cracking on the walls was present which was partly the culprit behind the water leaking in. The foundation needed to be repaired along with waterproofing the walls and installing a drainage system.
The WaterGuard system was installed to catch any water that seeped through the walls. It will then carry the water toward the SuperSump pump. This handy system is covered with cement while flooring can be laid on top for a finished look. CleanSpace was put on the walls to protect the vapor barrier and direct water vapor to the WaterGuard. Two separate foundation repair products were put in to fix inwards bowing on the lower halves of the walls or on the upper parts. The GeoLock Channel Anchors and GeoLock Wall Anchors were the best choices for this issue. Once the project was completed, the homeowner was safe to store items in his basement again!
In Vincennes, Indiana homeowner contacted Healthy Spaces about inspecting a home that he recently purchased. The basement walls were bowing and cracking. There were current metal supports that were not installed by Healthy Spaces that were old and thin. The supports were beginning to bend with the bowing wall. The homeowner was interested in straightening the walls permanently.
Upon further inspection of the basement, the best solution was to install GeoLock Wall Anchors. This is a great system to fix severe problems such as leaning walls and walls sliding in at the bottom. For a wall anchor system to work effectively, access of at least several feet is needed on the outside Once the foundation project was completed, the homeowner was able to enjoy his new home which was now structurally sound.
