Stress-Free Concrete Raising & Wet Basement Repair in Montgomery County, TN

One of the most commonly found issues homeowners call us about are foundation issues. We lead in fixing foundations and restoring homes back to normal.

Chrissy and her husband Dustin purchased a home and were experiencing a bad smell and a stain on the corner of their basement that was caused by water entering the basement. Once the crew got there they started to install Waterguard to waterproof their basement. Brightwall was added to the walls in the garage to brighten up the space. They plan on finishing the rest of the basement. Chrissy says "I noticed right away when I got home and they were finishing up that the musty smell was gone. It was like having a new home again."

A home that was built in 1830 has been in this particular family for almost 200 years!! They just had the framing re-done and foundation work done due to the old age of the home. They noticed that it felt humid all the time in the house and had recently noticed that the crawl space was leaking. 

They had not noticed any mold in the house. but knew that the musty feeling only meant trouble for the integrity of their home. They called another company to come out and give them an estimate but ultimately it came down to this family not trusting that the job would be done right the first time so they called us, Frontier Basement Systems, to do the job! 

We encapsulated their crawl space. They now do not have to worry about controlling the Earth's moisture, preventing mold and rot and they get to save energy! 

This family had a nice pool area in their back yard that had concrete that was gradually sinking as time passed. There were big cracks and divets around the whole pool deck area and they wanted a permanent solution to prevent further damage that would eventually cause very costly damage to their in ground pool. 

Our PolyLEVEL system raised the concrete and provided a permanent solution for their pool deck headache! Take a look! 

A family in Clarksville, TN moved into their home 5 years ago. They were constantly struggling with cold floors and high energy bills. They knew that there were ways to fix this problem and called us, Frontier Basement Systems, to come out and offer them a solution!

A customer of ours that has been living in their home for 26 years and plans to live there for the rest of their lives, recently added on to their home. The addition had welcomed in unwanted water in the crawl space, and the water was sitting underneath their house. 

They smelled mold and mildew, they were worried about controlling the ground water seepage, the Earth's moisture, and wanted to save money on their energy bills and keep their crawl space dry ALL the time. 

We installed our Clean Space system and also used spray foam insulation to conquer all of their goals! We strive to provide a permanent solution to all our customers and I am pleased to annouce that we did this for this family! 

This Clarksville home owner had a basement that was retaining water, and causing water damage to the organic material in the basement. It was not usable space and this family wanted to keep the water out of their basement! 

We installed our Waterguard and SumpPump system to keep the basement clean and dry! They now have a usable basement and moisture free home! 

This homeowner's crawl space had a cheap, thin liner that did not protect this home. The homeowner had suffered from allergies and asthma. He knew that it was a result of his damp, moldy crawl space. That's when he had called Frontier to get his free inspection, and sure enough, there was mold starting to eat away at the foundation. Mold releases mold spores into the air that can cause asthma and allergies to develop.

Thanks to our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, not only is this crawl space clean and dry, but it now brings cleaner air into the house.

A call came in with foundation concerns, the homeowner was building a pole barn in Puryear TN and noticed quickly there was a problem with the foundation. A balanced floor was important for the new building. Our inspector went out to take a look. After looking around and taking some measurements the homeowner was right there were a few foundation concerns. They could however be addressed pretty easily. For this project PushPiers with standard bracket assembly and slab piers with steel beams were used to reinforce the foundation. 9 Slab Piers, 17 Push Piers and steel beams under slab.

This homeowner was concerned about his home lot sitting a bit lower than all the other lots in his neighborhood. A good heavy rain would bring streams of water pouring on to his property so he was concerned about water collecting in the crawl space causing foundation piers to sink, rot, and fall apart.

We first started by taking the black liner that was not protecting his home out of the crawl space. We installed a number of products that helps with moisture control such as our SaniDry, CleanSpace Liner 20 Mil, Delta Drainage Matting, Small Everlast Door, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and the TripleSafe Complete with 2 pumps for that extra coverage.

With the crawl space completely encapsulated, moisture and water is no longer a worry for this homeowner. We gave him the best permanent solution using our WOW customer service!

These homeowners were very concerned with the amount of water in the crawl space. Their foundation had started to rot right under their feet. They wanted a permanent solution to help protect their home from mold, moisture, and further deterioration on their home.

We installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system to lock away all moisture, humidity, and mold from causing any more damage to the home. This space is now clean, dry, and can help reduce utility bills!

Clarksville homeowner called in because of bouncy floors in the living room. It was important to them to lift and level the sagging floors so they could lay hardwood flooring. The floor installers will not lay hardwood floor until they have it repaired.  After talking with the homeowner and an inspection the solution was to add a 10' steel beam through the center of the span in the living room with 2 smart jacks.  Height from dirt to floor joist in the back is 33" and 30" toward the front of the house. The homeowner was beyond pleased with the work. Said she loved everything and the people.

This homeowner has lived in the home since it was built in 1980. They noticed they might have a foundation problem years ago but having it checked was not a priority. They first noticed problems in the back bedroom. Since then there have been cracks in the flooring.

The inspection revealed some of the supports under the home had failed; sub floor and joist had rotted out. The findings were concerning for the safety of the family.

The solution was to replace the rotten materials and encapsulate the crawl space so this wouldn't happen again. With the crawl space encapsulated and humidity controlled this homeowner can rest at ease.

Plan of action:

Replace 51 linear feet wood beam

Replace 23 floor joists

Replace two sheets of subfloor under the dining room

Replace one sheet of subfloor under the toilet area

Regrade for Drainage

TripleSafe Complete (inc 2 pumps and UltraSump)
Delta Drainage Matting

Cleanspace Liner 20 Mil

Most of us don't go into our crawl space very often, only when necessary for some. Cold floors in the winter are one of the symptoms that will be noticed in the living space of the home.  The four years this family has lived in their home they have noticed mold in the crawl space and cold floors in the winter. Allergies can also be affected by an unconditioned crawl space. Because members of the house do have allergies, controlling the mold and mildew is important. Excited for a permanent solution to all of their concerns this family was ready for a healthier home.

This Clarksville home had uneven floors, cracks in the dry wall and other issues associated with a sinking foundation. What made getting repairs done a priority was not being able to close the back door, obviously a safety concern as well as heating and cooling the home.

This rotten Rim Joist was removed, supporting the wall temporarily with Shoring. The installation was removed to ensure that any future moisture won't get trapped in the material and cause any damage to the new joist.

This home had a thin plastic liner installed in their crawlspace 10 years ago, unfortunately these liners aren't as durable as a CleanSpace 20 mil thick plastic liner, and water had still continued to enter the space.

Cleanspace is tough - puncture and tear resistant, with an anti-microbial additive to fully ensure that all water vapor is kept away from the foundation structure and mold does not have a place to grow.

A family in Cunningham Tennessee has lived in their home for 16 years.

For the past 12 years they have noticed cracks in the foundation and a leaky basement when it rains.

The family already knew the cracks in the foundation was allowing the larger amounts of water into the basement after heavy rains. The family has seen as much as two inches after heavy rains.

Mold, property loss, and useless space where the most concerning issues they were dealing with. The family wanted to take advantage of this additional square footage and make use of it.

A permanent solution, at the right price, with a warranty were important to in making the decision.

To stabilize the foundation wall seven 9' PowerBraces were installed.  As well as an additional cross bracing to the 5 PowerBraces on the long wall.

The PowerBrace is a zinc coated beam that allows for tightening over time as needed. The PowerBraces distributes the weight load evenly so flooring isn't damaged.

With those installed and the home secure the crews could focus on water management. The family can sleep easier knowing the foundation is solid and secure. With water proofing complete the family can now make that space in to whatever they choose, no longer worried about water, mold, and mildew.

This rental home in Clarksville Tennesee was having some major issues with water in the crawl space. Mold and mildew were a concern. Floor joist was rotting causing floors to sag. The front porch had sunk. Old soiled insulation between the joist was doing more harm than good.

A healthy solution was necessary before this home could be rented again. A water management system was better for the next family and the life of the home.

TripleSafe single sump pump installed in the front, right corner of the property, as well as IceGuard and LawnScape outlets. A discharge line that routes the pump the water away from the home will protect the foundation from sinking as well as standing water in the crawl space.
Electric outlet installed to power the sump pump.
Removed all insulation and debris and disposing of it properly.
Replaced a 30' section of the main beam starting at the left side of the house, lend the beam on top of the 2nd pier from the right side of the house.  Sister floor joist was installed to provide support to the floor.

PolyLevel foam injection was injected below the porch to raise and level the surface.

The homeowner has reinvested in the investment property securing the additional income. The future families who reside there will have a secure place to call home.

A Clarksville home owner called in because she had black mold in the bathroom of her finished basement. Whenever heavy rains come, water would seep in. They have been in the home over 10 years and plan on staying for a long time. Wanting the whole basement dry all the time, the home owners were motivated for a permanent solution.

The solution for this home was a permanent water management system. WaterGuard water collection and drainage system with inspection ports were installed along the walls where the problem was. The system collects any water that seeps through the foundation block and drains in to a sump pump system.  A TripleSafe Single Sump and an Ultra Sump III were installed to pump water out a discharge line leading to a LawnScape Outlet away from the homes foundation.

Wall restoration was done to the area of wall with black mold present, cutting away the hazardous drywall and replacing with a non-organic wall panel.

A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidification system was installed in the basement to monitor and control the moisture content of the air.

This home is now protected and healthy. The family can breath easy knowing the black mold is gone and no longer harmful.

This Clarksville home was built around 1985, as the home owner enclosed the garage they found there were three walls with hardly any insulation. Of course this made the family concerned about what insulation may or may not be present throughout the home.

Removing old soiled insulation will help a great deal with health and allergy concerns. Some of the older materials were found to be harmful to our lungs and of course as the insulation gets older and dirty from moisture or critters we breath that in the air of our home. Air sealing is also a missing component in the attics of older homes. Although there may be batting down air still leaks through all cracks and holes. Conditioned air escapes, energy is wasted, and the family is still not comfortable in the home.

Mission:

To upgrade and air seal the upper attic.

Plan:

Remove and dispose of existing batting insulation in the attic.

Extend the bath fan vent to gable end of attic.

Seal all air leaks. Closing all accessible penetrations and top plates using expanding polyurethane foam.

Insulate with blow in Cellulose insulation to proper R-value. TruSoft blown in cellulose insulation added to the attic.

A Clarksville home built in 2004 had started having trouble with "settling." The family had noticed sticking doors and windows, uneven floors, and cracks in drywall. They had heard this is normal with the soil in the area and the building going on around them but had done enough research to know that movement, sinking, settling, whatever you wanted to call it was not suppose to happen.

Our inspector went out and found the crawl space had a low spot with a history of standing water.

The floor had dropped 1/2" to 3/4" in the center of the home.

The beam in the garage was creating a point load on the foundation wall and making it sink.

The concrete of the front porch had sank.

Mission:

Stabilize Foundation

Stabilize Floors

Lift and stabilize porch slab

Solution:

Push Pier: Steel push pier is installed inside the crawl space directly under where the existing beam lands on the foundation.

PolyLevel: 11.3x11.3x1.75 Area. Required 72 lbs of foam to lift and level.

SmartJacks: SmartJacks are steel support posts dipped in molten zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. The SmartJack has an adjustable thread and nut at the top which can be adjusted at any time in the future. The SmartJack will rest on an engineered footing with a minimum size of 2’ width by 2’ length’ by 2’ deep to spread the load to a manageable weight on the soil.

3 2x12 span of 24'

5' Spacing;  110PSF Floor Load

Allowable Load Provided by Footing Subgrade is 6,000 lbs.

Allowable load on beam was 1510 PLF, Actual Load on Beam for this home 1,320 PLF

CleanSpace: Encapsulation system. The CleanSpace Liner is a very tough 20 mil. vapor barrier with polyester cord reinforcement and a mold inhibitor woven into the liner.  All penetrations through the exterior foundation walls including the foundation vents are sealed using either closed cell spray foam or polyurethane caulking prior to installation of the liner.  All organic debris and sharp objects are removed from the crawlspace floor.  The CleanSpace liner covers the entire floor in the area shown. CleanSpace Wall liner is attached to all walls and up concrete piers in the crawlspace area.  All seams are sealed and the top edge is sealed to the walls.

For 26 years this family has lived in this Clarksville home. They have had mold in the crawl space before and treated it.

They are now seeing mold in the home above the crawl space, have set aside some money to properly treat the problem, and are ready to protect their home!

They rarely go in to the crawl space because of their health but do not want that environment to affect the rest of their home. Suffering from allergies is not fun, the humidity levels and mold were only making those symptoms worse.

Floors are cold in the winter, chipmunks were living in the crawl space, rotten wood had been replaced; the home owners were ready for a permanent solution.

Pedro S. had a moisture filled crawl space. He had complaints of his 1979 home's floors sagging and was worried about the possibility of the floors collapsing. He had looked around for other contractors, but no one would give him a free estimate. This was a serious problem for him, because his main concern was the price of the entire project. He found out that Frontier Basement Systems offers not only free inspections, but free estimates too!  Our Inspector, Robert, came out to look at Pedro's home and found the sagging floors culprit. The wood beams holding up the homeowners floors were rotting away. This was the cause of bouncy floors and the walls drooping and cracking. Robert suggested our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer and Pedro agreed that it was a good idea and was happy with the estimate. 

Our crew came in and installed SmartJack stabilizers and steel supporting beams. The SmartJack is an easily adjustable steel pier and is designed to stop settling AND raise your sagging floor. The stabilizer is placed on rocks to help it not settle into the dirt ground. Pedro no longer has to worry about his floors collapsing under his family and himself, because the SmartJack is sturdy and will never mold and crumble away.

Mr. and Mrs. Gillon had problems with excessive moisture and high humidity in their crawl space. Their family had a problem with asthma and there was a slight cat urine odor lingering in the space. The source of the odor could potentially be explained by plants decomposing below the house, which gives off an ammonia scent. This scent could be brought into the home by soil that hasn't been encapsulated correctly, or potentially a stray cat could've gotten into the space via a crawl space vent. 
This brings us to two points: 1)  Mr. and Mrs. Gillon had their crawl space encapsulated in 2014, but the company used a thin liner and the couple were not pleased with the results, which is a good reminder to go with a trusted company that will explain every step of each process and product with you in detail. 2) They had, like many other homeowners, an open vent. It is used to "air out" the crawl space, so it doesn't get muggy and grow mold, however this open vent lets outside air and humidity into your space, which is causing the opposite of the intended effect.

There are many triggers for asthma, some are preventable and others are not. A preventable trigger we often see is caused by poor indoor air quality. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from the air downstairs? When your crawl space has a high humidity level and moisture issues, there is a good chance of its growing mold and mold spores and becoming a quaint home for dust mites. These are the things you don't want your family breathing in and what we expect might be the reason for the Gillon family asthma issues. 

The Gillon had heard about Frontier Basement Systems from a friend and thought they might as well give it another go and see if we were able to solve the issues the other company could not. 
Our inspector, Rob, came out to their home and took photos of their space. He made sure to tell them about our 20mil thick liner that has 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement, aka a much more reliable liner to reduce moisture in the space and keep outside humidity out of the space. He also discussed with them the other products that would be useful for their home, such as our TripleSafe Sump Pump, Drainage Matting, SaniDry Sedona, Mold-X2, LawnScape Outlet, an EverLast Door. All of these products would work together to make the Gillon's crawl space not only dry but healthy too! 

After learning more about our encapsulation process, they were ready for our crew to install, so we got to work!
They are very happy with the crew's work and are glad to have an encapsulation done by true professionals. 

Lawrence's basement would flood after every heavy rain. He's been having this problem since he moved in a decade ago. Then he grew tired of having to clean the mess up, the lack of storage his home had and was growing incredibly worried about mold growth. The water damages thus far have cost him his sheet-rock paneling, storage, and peace of mind. Lawrence had hopes of stay in his home for the long run but needed a permanent solution to his flooding basement problem. 
Lawrence called us, Frontier Basement Systems, and booked a free consultation with our inspector, John. John looked around his basement, took photos, and a few humidity tests. He then sat down with Lawrence and discussed what he found and what products we could install to make his basement flooding nightmare a thing of the past. 

Our crew ended up installing our trusted WaterGuard System. 
The WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system from Basement Systems is an innovative interior perimeter drainage channel designed to effectively solve basement water problems. WaterGuard, along with other Basement Systems products, will keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living space.

The best part about it is its nearly invisible when installed and its rugged plastic construction will never corrode or decay!

Lawrence now has a dry basement and a safe place to store his personal belongings again without having to fear they'd get ruined. 
We love helping homeowners like Lawrence find the best possible solution to their problems!

 A homeowner called in about her basement walls leaning inwards. She was very worried about the stability of the foundation of her home. She has owned the home for a number of years and has watched as the problem continued to worsen. When she noticed the blocks had started to crack, and moisture was starting to get in. She decided she couldn't put it off any longer, A neighbor had told her about a company that did some work for them (Frontier Basement Systems) and recommended that she give them try, that's when she decided to call us, Frontier Basement Systems.

 When she called into our call center, Our call center specialist understood how worried she was and set a free inspection appointment with one of our inspectors (Robert) for the following day. Robert was able to inspect her basement and determine that the leaning or bowing walls could be fixed using our Wall Anchor system. After talking with the homeowner and answering any and all of her questions, Robert was able to give her a Free quote right then and there. She was also able to have Robert set the appointment to have the work started. 

 On the day of her appointment our crew called to introduce themselves, let her know that everything was on track for her basement repair work and what time she could expect them to arrive. As soon as our crew got to the home, they once again went over everything that she wanted to be done, and began the work.

 Wall anchors are installed by digging a small hole in the soil a few feet from the foundation of the home, then a steel rod is drilled thought a 1-inch hole in the basement wall which is then connected to an earth anchor, that is seated deep within the augured hole. A wall plate placed on the interior of the basement wall is secured to the rod, the hole is backfilled and sod replaced. Once all components of the wall anchors are connected and tightened, the basement wall is permanently stabilized.

 The homeowner was so happy with the work and the crew that she called back in, She said, "They were amazing from start to finish. They kept me very updated throughout the entire project. They were respectful of me and my property and cleaned up the entire mess when they finished up. They walked through the work afterward and went over all of my questions and maintenance."

The Clarksville family had a beautifully finished basement. Unfortunately, ground water surrounding the home's basement did not care, the water intruded the home anyway.

At first the family noticed a few smells, then on really heavy rains some damp carpet, and over time rot to the walls and baseboards.

Not sure why this was happening they called Frontier for a free inspection.

The home was built into a hill in 1996, backfill soil surrounded 3 sides of the basement walls.

The ground water was now seeping in through the foundation walls and pooling in the basement. Because the basement was finished some of the damage was hidden behind drywall, carpet, or flooring. The landing of the stairs leading down to the basement was the more surprising discovery.

The water seeping through the walls typically runs down the wall and pools in the floor. However, the water in one corner found the landing of the stairs first and was rotting out the wood below the flooring.

The good news was Frontier was able to provide a solution. WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system would be installed to collect and direct the water to a sump pump that could then push out and away from the home at a safe distance and grade. No need to dig up the exterior of the foundation. Some of the flooring could be saved and placed back in its original space.

The solution even provided a way to continue the system around the wood burning fireplace so water could flow to the sump pump properly and the fireplace was not disturbed.

The family can rest easy now knowing the basement is properly protected on the 3 walls that was their main concern. If they choose to add full perimeter later, they have that option.

This sump pump system can be cleaned and maintained with no disruption to the family or home.

Water Guard was installed in this home to absorb and collect the water leaking from the walls.  A sump pump was also installed which takes this collected water out of the basement.  From there smart pipe was added and this takes the water away from the home.  As you can see our team does a beautiful job returning the landscape as close to perfect as we can!  This homeowner was having terrible smells within their home and believed it was from standing water in their basement and boy were they right!  Frontier came out diagnosed the problem and shortly after installed everything needed for a permanent solution.  Happy homeowners who no longer can smell their basement!  They can even use this space as extra storage.

Colleen H. knew it was only a matter of time before someone got severely hurt from her uneven porch. The cement portion of her porch had sunk almost 2 inches from the surrounding brick causing a very big issue. Colleen had hopes of selling her home soon, so this is a problem that NEEDED to be fixed as soon as possible. 
She researched the best concrete repair company in her area and found us, Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair. She had looked through our photo galleries and was very interested in our PolyLevel product. 

Our knowledgeable foreman told Colleen all about our concrete repair solutions and she was sold! 

PolyLevel utilizes high-density, expanding polyurethane foam to raise slabs back to a desired level. This is done by boring small (penny sized) holes in the slab, and using specially designed equipment to inject a structural grade polymer into the void.
After using PoleLevel, our foreman sealed the cracks with NexusPro Sealant so no rainwater was able to infiltrate and cause the soil to weaken and cause even more issues. 

Colleen is very happy she chose us, because now she is confident she can get her home sold!

Patricia D. had a lovely driveway that began cracking throughout the slab. She knew her home's value was decreasing and the cracks would only get worse, so she googled concrete specialist experts that could restore her home. 
She found us and loved our photo gallery photos and products. Our inspector came to Patricia's home and talked to her more about our concrete repair solutions. The broken slabs on the driveway were slightly unlevel, so they needed to be lifted with our PolyLevel high density, expanding foam. After all of the lifting is finished with, the cherry on top of this job is the seal. 

Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair's NexusPro sealant is a permanent solution to cracked seams. It is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.

Patricia is pleased with the turnout and is so glad she decided to get her problems fixed before the cracking caused more damage. 

This Clarksville couple had noticed their concrete porch steps had began sinking. It sunk more and more every year. The homeowners knew this would cause the home's value to go down and it was time to get it fixed before it got any worse. They decided to find a company that could fix it once and for all and for a good price! 
They googled concrete repair specialists in their area and found us. They couldn't resist a free inspection, so they scheduled an appointment asap. 
After our inspector came to look over the sinking steps and discussed our trusted solutions with the homeowners, our very experienced foreman came to repair the issue. 
We used PolyLevel to lift the slab and used NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the crack so water would not infiltrate the slabs! 
PolyLevel is an 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 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. It fits into homeowners' busy lifestyles, too - drying time is a fraction of that needed for other urethane-based caulking products.

The homeowners now has a peace of mind and a great looking porch!

Our customer called in high levels of radon in her Clarksville, TN, home. Given the EPA's recommendation to take action for radon test results above 4pCi/L, and our customer had readings between 10-20pCi/L, it was imperative to implement measures to lower the radon levels in the residence to ensure the homeowner's safety. We added a radon mitigation system with a Premium Radon Fan.

This customer in Clarksville, TN needed crawl space repair to his home. The beams holding the home up were starting to rot and become structurally unsound. Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.

Floors over crawl space foundations sag due to many reasons, including inadequate or shifting supports beneath floor joists and lumber deterioration due to mold and rot.

As a floor sags, this problem is often associated with other issues, including cracking drywall, skewed door and window openings, and a potentially moldy, musty odor in the house. Our SmartJack® system is designed to straighten and strengthen sagging floors over crawl space foundations. We also have other products that can eliminate crawl space moisture problems like rot and corroded metal surfaces.

The SmartJack™ system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack® supports can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level level door frames. Because of its design, the SmartJack™ can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The SmartJack™ is also compatible with a crawl space vapor barrier system, allowing you to address crawl space mold and humidity issues while repairing your structural issue.

This customer in Clarksville, TN had a tree fall on their property and cause cracks through the foundation of the home. To fix the situation, we installed Push Piers around the exterior side of the home where the tree had fallen to stabilize the foundation. This will make sure there is no further damage to the foundation or exterior of the home. 

When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure must sink downwards into the ground. This is true with homes, concrete floors, chimneys, and many other structures.

Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position.

This beautiful Melrose neighborhood home was built in 1925. The homeowner decided to do a complete home renovation from top to bottom, including his basement and crawl space. Since this home was built in 1925, it was supported by rotting 2x4 beams under the subfloors and cedar tree trunks. To support this home permanently, we worked with a structural engineer to custom-make support beams to go under the subfloor to attach to Smart Jacks that would replace the cedar tree trunks. These beams weighed over 3,500 lbs., and our installers carried them into the basement by hand. It took many hands to help get this project completed. His basement waterproofing also included the SmartJacks, a vapor barrier in the crawl space, a WaterGuard and LawnScape System, CleanSpace on the stone walls, and a radon mitigation system.
