Before the project, a home in Hendersonville displayed troubling signs of foundation shifting, including interior wall cracks and sagging floors. Upon inspection, it became evident that high levels of humidity had exacerbated the situation, prompting the need for a comprehensive encapsulation endeavor. Installation of a Clean Space Vapor Barrier followed, effectively sealing out moisture and fortifying the crawl space environment. To bolster the foundation, durable steel beams were incorporated to resist rot and mold, ensuring enduring stability. Additionally, SmartJack Stabilizers, constructed from galvanized steel, were employed to elevate the floors back to their original position. The project's completion marked a remarkable transformation, turning the once raw crawl space into a dry, steadfast, and mold-free sanctuary, reinstating the home's structural integrity and instilling a sense of tranquility for the homeowner.
Homeowners in Madison, AL, were seeing signs of foundation settlement, such as sticky doors and wall cracks. Upon inspection, our expert identified that the relative humidity level in the crawl space was alarmingly high, with the wood moisture content also elevated. These conditions can significantly affect the foundation, leading to sagging floors and foundation settlement. To address these issues, we installed SmartJack Stabilizers, made from galvanized steel, to lift the foundation back to its original position. With the successful installation of SmartJack Stabilizers, the foundation was effectively lifted and stabilized, preventing further settlement and ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Before our intervention, a home in Shelbyville, TN was plagued by sagging floors and musty odors originating from its crawl space. A thorough inspection by our expert revealed telltale signs of foundation troubles, such as unlevel floors and cracks in both the floors and walls, indicating the shifting of the structure. Inside the crawl space, we discovered excess moisture, which not only contributed to the unhealthy musty odors but also caused significant damage to the wooden framework of the home, creating an overall hazardous environment. We installed our CleanSpace Liner, a 20-mil thick barrier over drainage matting, which efficiently sealed off the crawl space from ground moisture, drastically reducing humidity levels. For the foundation problems, we implemented steel beams, known for their durability and resistance to rot and mold, providing essential support to the structure. To lift and stabilize the sagging floors, we employed SmartJack Stabilizers made from galvanized steel, successfully restoring the floors to their original position. These comprehensive solutions not only secured the foundation but also created a healthier and more stable environment in the crawl space, enhancing the overall integrity and comfort of the home.
