Before & After Photos

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. 

Evansville, IN homeowner Thea J. was having issues with her foundation. When she went into her basement, there were 2 walls beginning to bow inwards. This wasn't the first time she had seen this- it had been doing this over the course of many years. She finally decided to ease her mind and give her local foundation repair company, Healthy Spaces, a call. 

Upon making an appointment, System Design Specialist Donnie Stuteville came to Thea's home and completed a free, no-obligation inspection of the issues she was having. He noticed bowing walls and stair-step cracking in the foundation, which is never a good sign. Of course, the signs of wall failure will look different depending on what your walls were built with, and hers were concrete blocks and poured concrete. Donnie recommended installing the PowerBrace System. This system is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time, therefore, it can improve the condition of your wall. Thea agreed and our foundation crew quickly installed the work. Thea is thrilled with the results!

This Evansville, IN family got very anxious every time it would rain because the horrible cracks in their basement walls made for an easy path for water to come in. Foundation wall cracks are nothing to take lightly. Their foundation walls were showing "staircase" cracks, indicating bowing or buckling walls. We determined that our patented PowerBrace system was perfect to fix this. As for the leaking water coming into their home, our WaterGuard would guarantee the water to be kept out, providing a healthy space for their family. 

Our Healthy Spaces team installed PowerBraces to support the basement wall and allow for potential straightening over time. The PowerBraces patented system allows for the tightening of the wall to improve the condition of the wall over time. The beams are zinc coated making them resistant to corrosion, reduces abrasion and wear, and creates a non-toxic surface. The beams also have a clean-cut appearance. The PowerBrace system utilizes a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load of the home, evenly as to not damage your floor system. Secondly, the WaterGuard and new sump pump were installed. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it damages your basement floor. The WaterGuard drainage system sits on the top of the footing inside the basement so the pipes do not get clogged by mud or debris. The sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home. Lastly, the homeowners decided to use Cleanspace as an economical way to cover the basement walls. This 20-mil thick reinforced plastic liner will stop water vapor from permeating the walls, as well as drain wall leaks. The homeowners now have the peace of mind that they've always dreamed of. They are so happy with the finished product. 

Contractor in Owensville, IN was working with the owner of a commercial building. After doing an inspection of the crawl space, he saw some major concerns that were outside his scope of work. He called Healthy Spaces to get set up for a free inspection, together they all devised a plan to ensure the crawl space problems were fixed permanently!

In the before photo, you can actually see where one of the concrete columns is leaning to the right. Additional problems we found, the crawl space jacks had no support, with mainly concrete blocks and pieces of wood "shimmied" in between the open gaps. Our foundation installers first needed to replace some of the damaged supplemental beam and joist repair before installing 8 SmartJacks in the crawl space. SmartJacks are used to permanently stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. They do not replace the existing columns and piers but add strength and stability to what is there.
