Before & After Photos

This customer was dealing with issues of his foundation settling, and this was causing cracks in his porch. This can become a problem because when the foundation of the home begins to settle it lessens the structural integrity of the home. The customer gave Atlanta Basement Systems a call, and we sent out a sales rep to inspect and determine what we would be able to install that would resolve the issues for this customer. The sales rep was able to determine that this customer was going to need helical piers and NexusPro crack repair. The helical piers are screwed into the ground to the appropriate depth, and the weight of the home is transferred from the piers onto the competent soil. The NexusPro crack repair is a silicone-based sealent, and it helps to prevent water infiltration, and it will not deteriorate during the natural contraction and expansion of the concrete during season change. Once the crew installed the piers and laid the NexusPro, this customer was left satisfied with the results, and had the peace of mind that the structural integrity of his home was no longer compromised. 

This home had some areas that were out of level and uneven. During his inspection Waylon saw some concerns, like a wall crack,  that demonstrated that the foundation needed lift and better support. In order to address these concerns, Isaiah and his crew removed all the debris from the crawl space and then installed SmartJacks. The SmartJack system uses corrosion-resistant steel that won't rust. Additionally, the posts are installed on sturdy bases that won't continue to settle over time. The SmartJacks can be slowly raised to carefully raise the foundation without over lifting. This crawl space and home are now protected and stabilized. 

We installed SmartJack Support Posts to lift and stabilize the floor above this crawl space. In the event of future settlement, SmartJack steel piers can be easily adjusted. 

After Waylon, our Resident Sales Pro, did an inspection of this crawl space he noticed some serious foundation support issues. His suggestion was to install multiple SmartJacks, along with a supplemental beam. SmartJacks are great for crawl spaces because they can be easily adjusted to fit into any space. They're installed on a solid base of engineered fill so that they don't sink over time. After talking the homeowner through the problems and how we can fix them, he scheduled a date for us to install the SmartJacks. Now this homeowner can have peace of mind, not having to worry about their floors or foundation. 

Helical tiebacks were installed to permanently stabilize this client's cracked retaining wall.
