Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Steve from Foundation Repair Boonville, IN just purchased this home and it had several issues such as Sagging Floors in Boonville, IN, rotten wood, and he thought there were some moisture issues in the crawl space. After searching on Google for companies that could repair sagging floors in Boonville, IN, Steve came across Healthy Spaces. Crawl spaces experiencing sagging, sloping, or uneven floors can be caused by columns settling due to weak soil/poor footings, rot-weakened joists, or support columns spaced too far apart.

Our Foundation installation team installed a new supplemental beam, along with repairing the sill plate and joists. We also installed 4 SmartJacks. Our SmartJack system provides support for sagging and undersized beams, which restores stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Now Steve can sleep with peace of mind knowing his home is back on a solid foundation.

Foundation stabilization technology has changed a lot in the last 150 years.  Unfortunately, many of the foundation components haven't.  This home, like many in the Hartford, IN area, is resting on a yellow brick foundation.  In order to stabilize the bricks and keep the foundation level, concrete pylons were poured at intervals along the foundation.  Now, the homeowners have noticed extreme settling and cracking throughout the home.  The best and most long-lasting way to stabilize this foundation is to clip the pylons and put the entire home on a rugged steel push pier system.  In the before picture, you can see the pylon and surrounding brick.  In the after picture, you can see the installed piers, which have been hydraulically driven to the engineer approved resistance depth and are resting on bedrock underneath. The piers have been capped off and the home is now off weighted from the failing soil onto the piers.

This homeowner in Princeton, IN noticed their floor was starting to sag in certain areas. They didn't want to take the chance of the problem becoming even bigger so they decided to give Healthy Spaces a call.

Our Design Specialist was quickly able to find the problem and designed a plan for this homeowner to fix their floors. Crawl spaces can experience structural sagging due to rot-weakened joists, girders, or posts. In this case, you can see the floor joist shows signs of compression due to the weight of the home - and too few support posts. 

Healthy Spaces installed 4 SmartJack's, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. A benefit to installing a SmartJack system is that they are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. it can also support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 lbs.

Do you have stair-step cracking in your basement walls? Kathie's home in Foundation Repair Newburgh, IN had stair-step cracking all throughout her basement. In one area, the wall started to bow in. The walls begin to fail when there's so much pressure being exerted from the soil surrounding the home. After being referred by her neighbor, Kathie called to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate to repair her basement walls.

Our team installed 18 Wall Repair Newburgh, IN to the failing foundation walls. This wall anchor system will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. This holds the wall in place and will straighten the wall back to its original position over time. 

Randy M, a homeowner in Haubstadt, IN was experiencing signs of foundation issues in his basement. With the stair-step cracking getting worse in his block walls, he knew he had to do something. As you can see in the before photos, Randy created a temporary "DIY" fix to his problem. While it may have worked for a short amount of time, he still saw the cracks progressing to become more defined and knew it was time to call in professional help. 

Design Specialist, Chris Russell, completed a thorough inspection of Randy's basement and listened to his concerns. Chris recommended the PowerBraces be installed in the basement. Why is the PowerBrace system the best solution for the problems that occurred? One of the main reasons is that it allows for potential straightening over time. That means it can actually improve the condition of the wall over time, unlike other I-Beam systems. The zinc coating makes the entire system resistant to corrosion, reduces abrasion and wear, and creates a non-toxic surface. 

Randy's home's foundation is now strong and he doesn't have to worry about the problem getting worse. During his yearly renewals, our service technician is able to tighten these beams for him, maximizing the tightness and stability.
