Respected Foundation Repair Company in Lebanon, TN

This customer in Lebanon, TN called Frontier after some big storms came through and flooded their basement. As soon as the water was out, we got to work with a waterproofing system. For this customer, we recommended a DryTrak® Monolithic Floor Drain. As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak® installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement. If you have a monolithic foundation, meaning that your floor and footing were poured as one piece, this is the only drainage system that's appropriate. DryTrak® is also perfect for other applications when jackhammering the floor is not an option-- in basements with radiant heat, for example. We also installed some Trench drains in areas where there is foot traffic, like doorways and other outside entry points. We finished the project with a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona, IceGuard drainage, and a LawnScape system to drain any water out of the basement. 

This customer in Lebanon, TN spoke to a Frontier Representative at a home show we exhibited at. He explained he was seeing cracks in the exterior brick walls on the front of his home and the garage, which was located on the side of the front wall. We immediately set up an appointment for a Design Specialist to come out to his home to assess the issue. We found the foundation of the front of the home was sinking, causing wall failure and it was spreading to the side where the garage was. This is an issue that will continue to grow if not addressed. We proposed a solution to stop the settlement. The solution included 8 Push Piers to lift the home back up and prevent any further damage with this permanent solution.  

This customer in Lebanon, TN called Frontier for a crawl space encapsulation due to excessive moisture issues in his crawl space. Encapsulating and sealing your crawl space controls these moisture issues by sealing it which effectively separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry, increasing the home's value, and adding additional storage space. We cleaned out all the debris including the removal of the insulation between the floor joists, installed Drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier on all walls and floors, a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, drainage lines, an Iceguard and LawnScape system, and finished the project with the installation of a new secure crawl space door. 

This customer built a new building on his property to house his RV. He requested exterior drainage lines around the building, while this is not a common thing we do, but was the best solution for this customer. We dug trenches, installed drainage matting, then the drainage lines and filled the trench with clean gravel, and covered and packed it with dirt. This way no water will enter the building and it will be diverted further down the property into the yard. 

The owners of this Lebanon, TN had begun to smell a musty odor permeating from their home's crawl space as the Tennessee weather began to warm up. Being concerned about what this smell may mean for the health of their home's crawl space, the owners requested a free estimate from our company. Upon completing the free inspection, our highly trained design specialist noticed a large quantity of mold growing in the dark, damp crawl space. As a solution to the mold and humidity of the space, our design specialist recommended a full crawl space encapsulation- complete with the installation of an energy efficient SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

The homeowners agreed to move forward with the encapsulation and SaniDry Sedona installation in their home's crawl space. The SaniDry Sedona is designed to be a "set and forget" machine- despite bi-annual filter maintenance- adding to the home owner's peace of mind, without adding to their to-do lists. The SaniDry Sedona will keep the humidity of the crawl space low and deter the future growth of mold and other allergens

The homeowners are happy with the quality of work that we completed in their home!

A house in Lebanon, Tennessee had issues with moisture and mold growing on the basement walls, so the homeowner reached out to us and scheduled a free inspection. During the inspection our design specialist identified all the problematic places and also discovered a stair-step cracking on the foundation walls. After a discussion with the homeowner, we installed our waterproofing system WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and a moisture barrier CleanSpace  was also added to the walls.

We supported the foundation walls with galvanized steel beams that will support the cracking foundation and will eliminate the cracks over time. 

Zachary noticed his wood porch was getting a little bouncy. He feared the whole porch was ruined and needed to be rebuilt. Zachary did not want to worry about the porch failing on someone as they were walking on it, so he decided to look around for options before having the porch rebuilt. 

Our inspector came to his home and looked around his property. He told Zachary there was another solution to the uneven/bouncy porch. 
He told Zachary all about our SmartJack System and Zachary was relieved to find out their was a more cost efficient and quick way to fix his porch. 

All his porch needed was a little support! 

The best way to permanently fix sagging problems is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your porch's joists. Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post. The steel SmartJack piers can be cut to size, based on the height of your space. A threaded post cap enables the installer to raise a sagging floor back to its proper level. All SmartJack parts are protected against rust with a thick galvanized coating.

Zachary is thrilled to have a peace of mind again!

Customer had poor drainage which resulted in pooling water and moisture issues. How we corrected the problem for the customer:  Install TripleSafe Liner, Air Tight Lid Kit with WaterWatch Alarm in crawl space to identify future plumbing leaks. * Install CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in area shown on drawing. The CleanSpace Liner is a very tough 20 mil. vapor barrier with polyester cord reinforcement and a mold inhibitor woven into the liner. Prior to installation of the liner, all penetrations through the exterior foundation walls including the foundation vents will be sealed using either closed cell spray foam or polyurethane caulking. All organic debris and sharp objects will be removed from the crawlspace floor. The CleanSpace liner will cover the entire floor in the area shown. CleanSpace Wall liner is 12mil thick and will be attached to all walls and up to 10 concrete piers per 1000 SqFt in the crawlspace area. All seams will be sealed, and the top edge will be sealed to the walls. Drainage Matting is included and provides a buffer between the CleanSpace liner and the earth allowing drainage to pass across the crawl space floor, and below the CleanSpace Liner, which helps to control groundwater seepage and adds durability to the CleanSpace liner. * Install CleanSpace Drainage Matting under CleanSpace liner. * Remove Debris up to 1,000 square feet. * Install SaniDry Sedona Basement Air System as indicated in job diagram, to keep humidity low. The SaniDry will be drained into existing drainage system.
