Before & After Photos

Homeowners Robert and Juliet of Lynville, IN began to worry when they saw visible cracks in their foundation. This is often a sign of your home settling. It was bulging out due to swelling soils.  The soil was swelling because groundwater was present. That created another problem--leaking walls.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was called out to help these homeowners. Upon inspection, they decided that the PowerBrace System would be the best fit for the problem. The PowerBrace System is designed to permanently stabilize your home's foundation. Its purpose is to support basement walls and allows for straightening over time. It has a joist reinforcement method which helps with distributing the weight evenly. This eliminates the worry of damaged wood floor joists that are common with other foundation correcting systems. 

Homeowner Mike, who lives in Boonville, IN, has noticed that his floors have begun to slowly sag over the years. After doing some research, he reached out to Healthy Spaces to have his situation assessed. Design Specialist, Donnie Stuteville, looked at her issue and proposed him a SmartJack System. 

The SmartJack System is made of zinc-plate and hot-dip galvanized steel to prevent rust and eliminate weakening from moisture, mold, and wood rot. They had a load capacity of more than 60,000 pounds making them ideal for stabilizing a home's sagging floor. The concrete is dug up and filled with tightly-compacted crushed stone to provide the proper weight barring exertion needed for each column. Once the holes are filled, the SmartJacks are installed and cemented down to the floor and connected to the girder system. Each SmartJack is tightened to permanently stabilize the floor, and even potentially lift the floors back to level.

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.

New homeowners, Carl & Becky, moved into a home in Hartford, KY. It was flagged on the inspection report for their crawl space floors sagging. They could see that there was an area where their floor was sloping. After reading through our google reviews, they gave Healthy Spaces a call for a free inspection. 

Our System Design Specialist worked with Carl & Becky to put together a proposal they felt comfortable with and a plan that restores the value of their home. Together they decided Healthy Spaces would need to install 16 SmartJack's and supplemental beams. The SmartJack System provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.
