Having problems with settling or uneven foundations? We have the expertise to help get your foundations back in tip-top shape! Foundation settling can often be identified by things like cracked walls and floors, bowing or leaning walls, and cracks around windows or doors. But whether you need help with a residential or commercial foundation problem, installing foundation piers and jack posts are the best way to repair cracked floors and fix a sinking foundation. Bowing and leaning walls can also be fixed with wall anchors and I-Beam wall braces that will keep your walls tall and strong.
Our commercial helical piers provide lateral stability to foundation walls and retaining walls with unbalanced earth pressures. These helical anchors are versatile and allow you to immediately load and test the anchors. They have the predictable capacity, can be installed in areas of limited access, and once installed, have no messy gout to clean up. Truly a must for any commercial building with uneven foundations.
Water damage in a basement can be a daunting problem to tackle, but with the right tools, there is an easy, long-lasting solution. A problem with waterproofing can often stem from sump pump failure or leaky pipes. One of the best ways to fix these problems is to install a professional-grade sump pump like the TripleSafe sump pump, in addition to a dehumidifier to keep the area dry and healthy.
If you're looking to fix a flooding problem in your basement, waterproof walls and floors are a stylish way to seal out moisture and bugs while making the space energy-efficient.
The damaging effects of radon span of minor health risks to causing cancer. By installing a radon mitigation system, you can lower the radon levels in your home.

This client in Franklin, TN was experiencing elevated moisture in their crawl space and reached out to Frontier for assistance. We began by removing all debris and insulation from the crawl space to prepare for laying the drainage matting. The space was then isolated from the earth by installing CleanSpace vapor barrier along the dirt ground and crawl space walls. Finally, the space was treated for mold and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep this beautiful crawl space moisture controlled for years to come!
This customer in Franklin, TN called Frontier because had a sagging crawl space floor and moisture issues in his crawl space.

Our recommendation is to install SmartJacks in the crawl space. The SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

We completed the installation of our basement waterproofing system in this Franklin, TN home. The homeowners were fed up with the water that their home's basement was routinely taking on. They called us in to complete a free inspection of the space and provide an estimate for their basement to be waterproofed by our company. Upon completing his inspection of the space, our design specialist recommended WaterGuard trench drains and a TripleSafe sump pump.
The TripleSafe sump pump is designed with three pumping mechanisms, all housed within the same pump, which trigger sequentially if the subsequent pump fails to keep up with the amount of water entering the sump. The TrenchDrains will lead water away from the perimeter of the basement and into the TripleSafe. This will keep the basement dry and protect the home from future water damage.
The homeowner was happy with the proposed solution and the quality of work that was completed for this project.
Greg B. had quite the moisture issue in his home. He noticed a musty smell in his crawl space and slightly throughout his home. His garages concrete slab also started cracking a bit due to large cracks on the side that the original installer should have sealed so moisture does not get through.
Greg knew he had an issue, but wasn't quite ready to seek professional help, but when he saw our commercial on t.v. he decided to give us a call and take advantage of our free estimates and inspection deal.
Our inspector came and took a look around Greg's home. He took photos everywhere he went, so Greg could see the problem areas. Our inspector told him all about our moisture barrier products and Greg was sold. It was time to fix his home!
Our skilled foremen came in and encapsulated Greg's crawl space with our CleanSpace liner, a super durable 20mil thick material with 7 layers of polyethylene and polyester cord reinforcement.
They also installed the EverLast crawl space door. This door has an airtight seal that will prevent any moisture from sneaking in, plus it will never rot unlike wood crawl space doors.
Our foreman also used PolyLevel to lift the concrete slab in the garage and sealed the cracks with NexusPro.
Greg B. is so happy he got the work done and loves having a healthy home!
Those little red markings in the concrete are part of the prep work just before PolyLevel is injected to lift and stabilize the driveway.
Repairing cracks in your concrete can prevent more serious problems from developing. Here at Frontier, we use materials that are long-lasting for a more permanent solution. NexusPro is our weapon of choice.
These homeowners in Franklin Tennessee had their crawl space encapsulated and one of the final steps is getting the EverLast crawl space door. EverLast doors are designed to replace leaky, deteriorating wood crawl space doors that normally come standard with a home. They seal from the inside and keep the moisture and unwanted bugs out.
These homeowners in Franklin Tennessee were experiencing high moisture levels in their crawl space and wanted to get it corrected. They contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection and a design specialist was sent to their home to address their concerns. Together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation with CleanSpace was the right solution for this home. CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick vapor barrier designed to keep water and moisture out of a crawl space.
The EverLast door is designed to keep water and moisture out of crawl space by sealing from the inside. While the normal homeowner does not often go into their crawl space or utilize this area the affects it has on the rest of your home are significant. Air filters through the house like a vacuum from the bottom up, having an EverLast door can help seal out the moisture and water.

Mike G. had mold growing on the 2nd level of his home and had a bad mice problem. He had gotten other companies advice but was still searching for the perfect company. Luckily, he was referred to us and liked our encapsulation process that Robert, our inspector, had talked to him about. When Robert and Mike met, Robert inspected his home and then discussed different solutions, products, and what would be the best option for Mike and his problems. He decided on encapsulating his home with our CleanSpace products, Vapor Barrier and Drainage Matting, to reduce moisture in the crawl space and give water a channel to flow into the designated drain. He also wanted our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which will keep the humidity level below 55% (mold, mold spores, and dust mites thrive at 60%) and it also is hooked to a drain, so he doesn't have to worry about a messy cleanup.
Mike is happy with his dry and clean crawl space that no longer looks inviting for mice to make their home too.
We are thrilled to be able to help Mike and provide him with practical and lasting solutions!
Mr. Lawrence was experiencing foundation issues in his 1980's home that he had just recently moved into. He complained of bouncy and cracked floors. He was worried about the condition of his bathroom floor the most. All of these issues came from moisture in his crawl space, which led to mold growing on his wood foundation. The mold got worse and his wood panels began to rot; this caused the floor above to become "bouncy." If the rotting became any worse and proper support was not installed, the bathroom floor could have easily fallen through.
Mr. Lawrence and his significant other were on the hunt for the best and most affordable solution. They were looking for companies that provided quality, a great price, and trustworthy warranties.
They got in contact with Frontier Basement Systems and were happy with the solutions we presented.
Our inspector, Chris Trigg, talked to them about our SmartJack system and answered their questions, then our crew got to work,
Carlos Guox and his crew installed our steel SmartJack and steel supporting beam. The SmartJack is a high-capacity, fully adjustable pier that is designed to stop settling and raise your sagging floors!
Thanks to SmartJacks, Mr. Lawrence's joists have enough support to hold the weight of people and furniture AND he no longer is the owner of bouncy floors!
Franklin foundation was settling and needed to be raised.
This Franklin family was concerned about cracks in the brick and wall cracks in the sheetrock.
Another contractor had told them that one wall was leaning out.
We found the building to have settled ½' in several areas and 5/8' at one corner. We also found a crack no one else had found. It helped explain a crack on the back of the house which had been incorrectly diagnosed by another contractor.
A thorough inspection and explanation set us apart from the competition.
Considering the load of the home by type of structure, roof, foundation, measurements and the product to be installed, Ten 3 inch push piers were installed at 5-foot spacing.
The 288 Push pier low profile assembly utilizes high-strength round steel tube and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift sinking or settling foundations. the foundation bracket is secured against the existing footing and pier sections are driven hydraulically through the foundation bracket and into the soil below using the combined structural weight and any contributory soil load as resistance. Pier sections are continuously driven until a suitable load bearing soil is encountered. At that point, the structure either begins to lift or the target pressure load is achieved. The weight of the structure is then transferred from the unstable soil to the foundation brackets, through the piers, and to firm load-bearing soil or bedrock.
8 Push piers were installed along the exterior of the foundation and 2 on interior corners each driven down to load-bearing soil at an average depth of 10'2.
With the load of the home secure on suitable load bearing stratum, this family can rest easy.
This family from Franklin, TN came to us for help with their home, showing signs that the foundation and flooring was in need of some stabilzation.
By installing both Smartjacks to support the floor joists and Push Piers to raise and hold the foundation back to level the home is now supported and permanently stablized against any further movement of the soil.
Homeowners in Franklin, TN had purchased their forever home and noticed that the crawl space was flooding everytime it rained. Sometimes they had up to 2 inches of water lingering underneath their home. They were seeing mold, and experiencing cupping hardwood floors.
What was the most important to these folks, was that there was no more water in their crawl space, no more mold, and to keep it this way forever.
We were able to provide them with the permanent solution they were looking for by installing our Clean Space vapor barrier! These homeowners now have a peace of mind with out permanent solution!
This family bought their home 2 years prior and were living with uncomfortable rooms and sky high energy bills. They wanted to keep the lady bugs out of their attic, and were concerned about the lack of insulation in their attic. Their main concern was lowering their energy bills and had already replaced their 6 HVAC systems and replaced the windows throughout the house.
After an inspection from Frontier, they began to understand how the whole house is system that works together or against itself depending on how the house is built. They decided to go with our open cell spray foam insulation to seal holes that air was seaping though, and use our higher grade insulation to keep the heated and cooled air inside the house!
