Before & After Photos

Foundation wall cracks are nothing to take lightly. That's why this family in Poseyville, IN called Healthy Spaces. Their foundation walls were only getting worse with time, indicating bowing or buckling walls.

We sent a System Design Specialist out to inspect their home. We determined that our patented PowerBrace system was perfect to fix this. PowerBrace is made of steel I-beams that are connected to the joists above the foundation wall to offer maximum support. After the installment of PowerBrace, this family can now feel safe in their basement and, more importantly, their home.

With the PowerBrace system, it can be tightened over time, especially during your Annual Maintenance appointments, to bring the wall back to its original position. 

These Henderson, KY homeowners were very concerned about the stability of their foundation wall.  It was bulging out due to swelling soils.  The soil was swelling because groundwater was present.  That created another problem--leaking walls.  The homeowners met with Damon Cheatham of Healthy Spaces and together, they designed a cost-effective, custom solution to both problems.

 First, the installation team would jackhammer out a trench around the perimeter of the basement to install Waterguard, a french drain-like system, that would capture the wall and floor moisture and direct it into a sump pump to be removed from the basement.  Second, the installers would place a wall moisture direction system called Brightwall on to the walls.  This will direct the wall leakage into the Waterguard before it comes into contact with the interior basement air.  This will keep the relative humidity lower and reduce the risk of mold growing in the basement.  Brightwall also has the added benefit of making the basement look brighter and cleaner--a real wow experience!  Third, the installation team installed several Powerbraces along the wall to stablize and reinforce it.  The Powerbraces are secured at the top and bottom to provide a rigid and structually sound reinforcement to the block wall.  As you can see, it looks like a completely new basement.  

Homeowner in New Harmony, IN was experiencing stair-step cracking throughout his basement wall. There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, but the main issue is the pressure from foundation soils. Installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the anchors aren't affected by the soil constantly moving. Foundation wall anchors extend out to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond your home, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall. 

Mike & Terri of New Harmony, IN, were experiencing their doors sticking, cracks in the interior walls around door frames, and could tell that their floors had a slope and not level. After doing a Google search on companies that did structural repair for sagging floors, they came across Healthy Spaces. After spending some time reading their reviews and looking at past work examples on their website, they decided to give them a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

After doing a thorough inspection, it was discovered that their floor joists were becoming weakened and started bending. Our team installed a new supplemental beam, along with 10 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Our SmartJack system permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in your crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists in the crawl space.

A home in Albion, IL, had a basement with a poor drainage system that persisted for many years. The block walls contained horizontal cracking, which was caused by the foundation settlement. Cracked walls can be a scary sight, but luckily, it is treatable.  When the soil around the home has experienced heavy rainfall, that is now drying up, the foundation is affected. The soil will expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing the foundation to move and form cracks. 

The GeoLock Wall Anchor system is engineered to stop wall failure and will perform in any soil type. This system requires soil on the outside of the foundation for the steel rods to be secured. The wall anchor system can fix severed problems such as leaning walls and wall sliding in at the bottom. The process presents minimal disturbance from installation. The homeowner was satisfied with the finished result!
