Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Tom used his home in McDaniels, KY, as his vacation home. His walkout basement had a half wall that had a crack in it and gave Healthy Spaces a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

Our team installed 4 GeoLock Wall Anchors which are heavy-duty steel earth anchors that are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall. They're connected to steel wall plates with galvanized steel rods. Once tightened, the anchors hold the wall securely in place. The system can also be tightened during dry seasons to further straighten walls over time.

Our client in Dale, IN had walls in their basement that were bowing and beginning to crack. As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, the soil expands. That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation walls until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing, and tipping.

After seeing a post on our Facebook page, Larry gave us a call for a free inspection. Our team installed 5 PowerBrace's throughout the basement. The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and first-floor framing above. PowerBraces are the best option when access to the yard outside of the home is not possible and problematic walls need to be solved.

In Monroe City, IN, a home with a basement needed repairs to the cracks that were spreading throughout the basement walls. The crack was in the middle of the walls that spread throughout the rest of the walls, leading to wall failure. If a problem such as this one is not solved, then it can lead to severe issues such as leaning walls and walls sliding in at the bottom of the structure. The homeowners needed reassurance that their basement walls would not give out soon. 

A GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed to stop wall failure in its tracks permanently. The rectangular, silver wall anchor system performs effectively by utilizing plates that are buried in the soil outside the basement wall. It will be installed to have up to 480 square inches of bearing surface. This system provides great stability and is designed to straighten the basement’s wall failure. The GeoLock Anchor System presents minimal disturbance to the home, lawn, and landscaping. Without the disturbance of their landscaping, it thrilled the homeowners about not having to worry about wall failure anymore!

This Lewisport home was experiencing the common signs of a wall failure problem: stair-step cracking on the inside of their home. Once these homeowners realized that the problem could (and would!) eventually get worse, they quickly gave Healthy Spaces a call to solve the problem.

Our System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, concluded that the foundation would need to permanently stabilize the walls by installing PowerBraces. The PowerBrace is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time. Some highlights on installing PowerBraces are: their zinc coating makes the entire system resistant to corrosion, clean-cut appearance, and professionally installed. 

With a plan set, Kye Devine and his production team came to the home to start the project.

Starr N. from Lewisport, KY was having issues with her floors. She had noticed that they were beginning to slope, creak, and felt uneven. As if the creaking floors weren't enough, she also noticed a musty smell worsening over time, which she thought could be mold. 

System Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, came to Starr's home to provide her with a free no-obligation inspection. He did a thorough inspection of her crawl space, as well as her main floor. When he was finished, he proposed a solution for the sagging floor. He recommended that SmartJack Stabilizers be installed. These are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. This is the best opportunity to lift the above floors and walls back to their original position. This would be a permanent solution, unlike the light-duty jack posts that were currently in the crawl space. These don't work because they can hold very little weight, are difficult to adjust, and don't address the most important problem- the weak foundation soils below.
