Sometimes soil is not properly preapred before heavy cement is laid on top and your home's value is damaged due to the sinking slab! And this Tennessee family was not happy about the eyesore that was their front porch. They only saw it getting worse and worse as the days went by, so they decided it was best if they fixed it now before it got any worse!
The homeowners googled concrete repair companies and found us! They took advantage of our free inspection and estimates, and booked an appointment with our friendly inspector, Nick!
He suggested our PolyLevel product to lift the porch steps. He also suggested NexusPro sealant to seal their cracks.
PolyLevel: expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.
NexusPro: a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.
The homeowners agreed with Nick and were excited to finally fix their front porch!
They now no longer have an eyesore and don't have to worry about water infiltrating the crack and making it worse, because of our sealant!

The crack in the brick above the garage door bothered this Clarksville homeowner.
He was worried about the settlement getting worse and causing problems with the function of his garage door or any of the structures above the garage door.
The window in the bonus room above was giving him trouble, starting to stick.
Frontier was able to provide a permanent solution with StableBrick. By using pairs of long StableBrick bars bonded with grout installed in to cut slots, the bars form deep masonry beams with the existing masonry. These beams reinforce and stabilize the existing masonry while redistributing the structural loads.
This Clarksville home had to be re-selling ready, so the homeowners wanted to fix every eyesore and problem wrong with the home! They called us, Frontier Basement Systems, to come and inspect their home. They had basement waterproofing issues as well as an unsealed driveway with a very long crack in it! These cracks don't seem like a very big problem, but they are sneaky! Rainwater seeps in and under the concrete slab, softening the soil under and causing the perfect place for the heavy slabs to sink and settle in at. This is what caused the first long crack, with the promise of many more in the future if the cracks were not sealed!
Thankfully, we have the perfect products for this!
We first had to lift the sunken concrete slabs, so they were all level with each other. They injected PolyLevel foam by boring small (penny sized) holes in the slab. After the void is filled, the expanding properties of the polyurethane foam allows for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab.
Our crew then sealed all of the cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.
The homeowners now have a sealed and lifted patio that they no longer have to worry about being an eyesore or causing their home value to decrease.
We love helping homeowners just like these ones find the perfect products for their home.

This moist crawl space needed our help before permanent foundation damages occurred! The homeowners were worried about mold growing and their wood supporting beams rotting. They were also worried about their family's health. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from downstairs? You don't ever want your family to be breathing in moldy mildew air!
They decided it was time to have their space encapsulated once and for all, so they'd never have to worry about it again!
They called Frontier Basement Systems, and we got one of our trained inspectors out to their home to look around their space, take tests, and then sit down and talk to the homeowners about what kind of shape their space was in and what products we offered that could help them! Our inspector talked all about our encapsulation system and the family fell in love. It was the perfect fit, so we installed everything their space needed to be healthy!

After seeing sings of settlement; sticking door, sagging floors, and drywall cracks these homeowners called Frontier to check things out.
The good news it was not all structural! they had called soon enough that most of their concerns could be addressed by encapsulating their crawlspace, closing it off from the earth below, outside air, and conditioning the space.
