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.

This customer in Nashville, TN decided on a full encapsulation for his crawl space. He had a lot of insulation that need removal first. Fiberglass insulation in a crawl space tends to soak up moisture and humidity, growing mold and eventually causing it to "drip" off the ceiling. Crawl space insulation is important. A number of comfort and energy problems are caused by inadequate or incorrect crawl space insulation. Any crawl space can be wet and damp, so the insulation must hold up in those conditions

This customer addressed the issue by installing SilveGlow Insulation Panels, Rim Joist Insulation, and Spray Foam. Before installing we rid his crawl space of mold caused by the old insulation and then added Drainage Matting to the floor and CleanSpace to the walls and floors.

The owner of this Nashville, TN home noticed that his home's garage was experiencing moisture and flooding during rain events. As many of us do, the homeowner had been using his garage as additional storage within his home. Acknowledging the potential damage that a flooding garage could not only cause to the structure itself, but the items stored inside the garage as well, the homeowner called us to complete a free inspection and offer an estimate for a solution. 

Upon completing the free inspection, we recommended the installation of TrenchDrain drainage channels along the entrance of the home's garage. After jackhammering a trench along the entrance of the garage, the TrenchDrain is set and cemented in place. The drainage channel collects rainwater and moves it away from the home via underground PVC pipe. Attached to the far end of the PVC pipe is a LawnScapes grate that is designed to prevent clogs from fallen foliage and other yard debris. With the natural grading of the land surrounding the garage and the garage itself, this system will keep the home dry for years to come. 

The homeowner is satisfied with the quality of work that was completed.

This customer in Nashville, TN needed foundation repair for a separating Chimney. We Installed a Helical Pier with a low profile bracket to fix the issue for them. 

As most houses are built, the chimney's foundation is added to the home's foundation (some are poured at the same time). A full masonry chimney can weigh tens of thousands of pounds.

If your chimney's foundation (or the soils underneath that foundation) are unable to support the weight of the chimney, it will begin to tilt. A helical pier system can repair this damage.

Your chimney or smokestack is tilting and separating from your home.

Telltale Signs:

• Leaning or tilting of the chimney
• Cracks where the chimney foundation meets the home foundation
• Damage to the roof where flashing meets the chimney
• Gaps between the chimney and home walls that have been filled in with mortar, foam, or caulk.

How to Fix It:

We repair tilting chimneys with the Foundation Supportworks Helical Pier System. However, structural issues with your chimney are often connected to other potentially serious foundation problems. The same problems that caused your chimney to lean and show signs of failure can apply equally to your foundation.

We fix tilting, leaning chimneys! Call us for a free chimney foundation repair quote today!

The homeowner of her house Nashville home had a serious problem with standing water in the basement. It occurred after each heavy rain and was causing damage on the interior of the house. She decided to give us a call and find a permanent solution for this problem.

Our design specialist arrived and inspected the basement outside and inside, and was able to identify some areas which were causing water getting in. 

He recommended our waterproofing solution - TripleSafe sump pump system to get rid of water, and CleanSpace to help minimalize moisture on the basement walls. Since this system was installed, this basement has been dry and homeowners feel a huge relief!

We installed our waterproofing system in a Nashville church that used to have problems with water getting in its basement during heavy rains, ending up causing mold growth on the basement walls due to too much moisture. This was a big project! We needed a lot of material due to the church size.

We started with installation of the WaterGuard system. It's a system of specially-designed pipes installed along the perimeters of the basement walls. They are placed in trenches and covered with gravel. To finish it and leave behind no mess, only a nice, clean look, we pour a fresh layer of concrete on top. 

Then, the TripleSafe sump pump was installed with a battery back-up that keeps the pump working in case there is a power outage or the pump fails. TripleSafe pumps water through drain pipes outside, where it escapes through an outlet called LawnScape Well. We instal it at least 10 feet away from the house to guarantee water won't return to the basement. And that's how we keep this basement free of water all year long, even during heaviest rains!

Dean N had noticed a small problem in his home. His floors were a little "bouncy" and uneven. His doors sometimes stuck as well. He knew while it wasn't a big issue now, that it could be a very big one in the future, so when he went browsing for foundation specialists on Home Advisor, he found us and decided to book a FREE inspection with one of our trained specialists. 
Our specialist met with Dean at his home and looked around. He told Dean all about our SmartJack stabilizers that were made of  galvanized steel so he never had to worry about them rotting away like wood. Our stabilizers can also be cut down to any size to fit the length of all crawl spaces and the best part.. they can lift your sunken flooring to their original position over time! 
We are very happy we could help homeowners like Dean find a product they can rely on. 

Anthony P loved his home, but he started noticing some foundation issues occurring that worried him. The floors were uneven and doors had a problem with sticking. As well as cracks were appearing on his walls and only getting worse over time. He searched around for the best company with trusted products and found us. 
Our inspector came to Anthony's home and looked around his crawl space and home. He took photos of his problem areas, so Anthony could see exactly what the inspector was talking about without having to go down there himself. Anthony's crawl space had a bit of a moisture issue and his wood beams were not strong enough to hold up the weight of his home anymore. 

The solution was obvious! Anthony needed strong steel stabilizers to help support his home. 
Our crew came in and installed our SmartJacks.

Peggy and Marty H. have lived in their 1952 home for the past 5 decades. For the past two years they started to notice their floor boards becoming uneven, cracks appearing in their walls, and moisture issues. Their issues were only getting worse over time, so they decided it was time to call the professionals! Our trained inspector came to their home and looked around. He took photos to show the couple what exactly was wrong and what products we had that could fix their problems. 
They agreed that our encapsulation products and SmartJack stabilizers were the best fit for their issues. 
Our encapsulation products (CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and Drainage Matting) are used to help reduce moisture in the crawl space by properly sealing the dirt ground that is often filled with moisture which gets absorbed into the wood beams and causes them to mold. This causes the beams to weaken which is why Peggy and Marty had uneven floors and cracks. We also installed our stabilizers to help lift the floors back to their original position. Our SmartJacks are made out of galvanized steel, so you never have to worry about them rotting away. 

They now have a dry and healthy crawl space they are proud to have!

Yvonne S. has lived in her home for the past 10 years. She noticed her cement flooring in her garage started to crack a little bit, but she left it alone. Over time the cracks got worse and the slabs became uneven. This caused there to be a big tripping hazard in her garage that she knew she had to get rid of before someone got hurt. 

She wanted to hire a company that not only had a good reputation, but was also cost effective. Yvonne took advantage of Frontier Foundation and Crawl Space Repair's free inspection and estimates and had a specialist come to her home. He went over our concrete repair solutions with her and she was excited to get started. 

The solution to her cracked and uneven concrete problem was Polylevel and NexusPro Sealant. 
The PolyLevel method for lifting and stabilizing a sidewalk or other exterior concrete slab is to inject structural polyurethane foam under the sunken section of concrete. The force of the expanding foam will fill all voids and consolidate weak soils.

Denney was having issues with his forever home. The hydrostatic pressure from the soil outside of his basement was causing his walls to bow and crack. This led to major flooding issues in his basement. During heavy rains, he was able to fill up bins of water that came in through the cracks. He noticed the problem almost a year ago and it only got worse. After seeing mold growth and the cracks only getting longer, he decided it was time to call a professional before the structural integrity of his home was altered. 

Our trained inspector, Lynn, met Denney and his wife and their home. Lynn inspected the basement and took a relative humidity test. The test started an 80% RH level, which made his basement the perfect environment for mold, mold spores, and dust mites! 
Lynn came back upstairs and sat down with Denney. Lynn went over what solutions we had that could fix Denney's basement. 

After learning about our CarbonArmor wall reinforcing fiber. Denney was all in!

Lew was having problems with his basement flooding during heavy rains about five years ago. He decided to wait it out, because he didn't use his space for much anyways. Five years later, his basement is still flooding but now serious damage is starting to occur. The wood in the space is rotting, mold is growing, and he was worried about his family breathing in moldy air, as well as his floors weakening from the excessive moisture. He looked around the internet until he found us, Frontier Basement Systems! 

He took advantage of our free inspections and estimates and scheduled an appointment right away! Chris, our trained inspector, met him at his home and Lew told him the issues he was having. Chris looked around his basement and took photos of the damages for reference. Chris then sat down with Lew in the comfort of his own home and went over what products we had that could solve his moisture issues! 

First things first, Lew needed a reliable sump pump that could take all of the water OUT of his home. We had the perfect pump for that! Our TripleSafe Sump Pump has not one, but THREE different pumps that automatically change based on your homes needs.

The first pump is a heavy-duty 1/3 horsepower (HP) cast-iron Zoeller pump that does most of the pumping, handling up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is a 1/2 HP pump that operates automatically if Pump 1 fails or if greater pumping volume is needed (up to 6,200 gallons per hour), and pump 3 is a battery-operated pump that turns on automatically if power fails, so you won't have to stay up at night during a nasty storm worrying! 

We also installed our IceGuard product. It has a perforated top that ensures water will not go back into your basement if discharge lines were to freeze. 

They now have a dry basement and a new place to store their belongings! 
We love helping homeowners find the best solutions for them and their home.

James had lived in his home for over 30 years. Over the years he had some moisture issues in his crawl space that had led to him having to have rotted wood replaced. He didn't want to deal with his crawl space anymore, so he looked into the encapsulation process and what companies in the area could do the work. His family had also suffered from indoor allergens, and with mold, mold spores, and dust mites being a few of the most common of them, it would be hitting two birds with one stone to get his crawl space encapsulated. 
He found our website and decided to take advantage of our free inspections and estimates, so he called us up! We set him up with one of our trained inspectors, John, and he was out in no time to meet James at his home. John looked around the property and crawl space, took reference photos and moisture tests. He then sat down with James to discuss with him what he found and what products we had that could help his crawl space with its moisture issue. 
Both the wood moisture test and relative humidity test was very high. This indicates that there was a lot of water vapor in the air and moisture that got absorbed into the wood support beams. A high relative humidity, such as 73, is the perfect environment for mold, mold spores, and dust mites. John knew exactly what to do with James' crawl space. 

John told James all about how our encapsulation system works and James was very impressed. Our CleanSpace liner is 20mil thick and made out of 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement, which is made to reduce moisture. We install a drainage matting under the liner to help trapped water find its way to the designated drain easier.
James was ready to get the project started!
We also installed a few products to help get the collected water out of the crawl space, like the SuperSump Pump, IceGuard, and LawnScape Outlet. Along with our powerful SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity below 55% and also our sturdy EverLast Door, which has a water and airtight seal! 

James now has the perfect crawl space! He gets to reap the benefits of not only healthy breathing air, but also lowered energy costs!

Terry had plans to sell his home, but he had a problem with water in his crawl space that he needed to fix first. The water in his crawl space had caused mold to grow and he knew the excessive moisture would soon create an expensive foundation issue, so he called us, Frontier Basement Systems. We had our trained inspector, Stephen, come to Terry's home to look around his crawl space. After taking a few reference photos and tests, Stephen sat down with Terry to discuss what he found and what products we had that could solve his problem. 
A lot of the wood beams in Terry's crawl space had a moisture content rating around 20%. At this rating is when the wood starts to show signs of decay. It is so high from the water puddles evaporating into Terry's home (and wood beams). The relative humidity in Terry's crawl space was 73.3%, which indicates how much water vapor is in the air. Relative humidity above 60% is the perfect environment for mold, mold spores, and dust mites to thrive. If you have mold growth, but no apparent excessive moisture, check to see if you have an open vent because when warm outside air enters your crawl space it is cooled, which raises RH. 
Stephen had a few suggestions for Terry, such as crawl space encapsulation and installing a dehumidifier to keep the RH at bay and to prevent mold from growing back, but Terry was focused on keeping the costs low and the water out.
Stephen then suggested one of our reliable sump pumps, the SuperSump Plus, which has a top-rated 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump that offers reliability and high-volume pumping (like 2,280 gallons of water per hour). It also has a built-in alarm that alerts when the water level rises too high. Stephen also suggested our LawnScape Outlet and our IceGuard product, which will ensure Terry's crawl space doesn't flood if discharge lines become frozen, due to its perforated top. To help with Terry's current mold problem, Stephen also suggested Mold-X2, which is a spray that removes mold staining and another spray that prevents it from occurring again, as long as the environment has changed. 

Terry agreed to the waterproofing products and Mold-X2 and our crew installed them!
He now has a dry crawl space that isn't a watery mess!

Mrs. Games was having a few issues with her home. Her basement flooded every time it rained and her crawl space had a bad moisture problem that was causing her wood beams to rot away. Once she even had 3" of water in her basement and she never wants that again. She can't use her basement for storage like most can, because she doesn't want to chance any of her things getting ruined. Damages have occurred to her floor due to the water and mold has begun to grow. Mrs. Games's crawl space was uncovered and moist, so she knew she needed something to get done to that part of her home, as well. She began to look around for contractors who had crawl space experience and could waterproof her basement. She met with a few of them and ended up choosing us, because of our nationally backed products. 

When our inspector, Robert, came out to her home, he took photos and tests and then sat down with Mrs. Games to discuss with her what he found and what products we had that could help her. Her crawl space's relative humidity was above 80%, which meant that her space was the perfect environment for mold, mold spores, and dust mites to thrive. The high moisture rate infiltrated her wood beams giving them a 43% wood moisture rating. The beams were beginning to rot badly and would be an expensive foundation fix if she chose to wait any longer to reduce the humidity and moisture in her crawl space. 
Robert suggested the following products for waterproofing Mrs. Games's basement: WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, SaniDry Sedona, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and TripleSafe Sum Pump. He suggested these products to encapsulate her crawl space and collect water leakage: Drainage Matting, CleanSpace Liner, and TripleSafe Sump Pump. 

She agreed that these products were best and was ready to have them installed! Our crew also installed the CleanSpace Wall System, and also Mold-X2 to clean and get rid of mold stains as well as use a spray to make sure the mold does not come back. 

These products will work together to ensure that Mrs. Games will not have a moisture or humidity problem in her crawl space, nor a flooding or mold problem in her basement. She finally has a peace of mind again that she hasn't had since moving in. We love helping our community and providing products that they can rely on!

Mrs. Gore had a problem with large amounts of water during heavy rains going down the driveway and having no place to go. The driveway has started sinking due to water infiltration softening the soil underneath. This has caused Mrs. Gore many additional problems, such as hosting a big safety hazard, cracks in her garage and interiors cracks, as well. 
She knew it was time to call a professional before the cracks and damage got any worse. She googled foundation experts in her area and found us, Frontier Basement Systems. We sent over our trained inspector, Robert, to give her her free inspection. 
Robert looked around her property, took photos, and came back to speak to Mrs. Gore. He told her what was happening with her driveway and why it was sinking. He told her all about our 3" Push Piers that go under the foundation of the home and push the home back up to its original position. 
A few technical features for the Push Pier:

• Year-Round Installation
• Warrantied for 25 Years
• Galvanized Steel Design Available

He told her all about our nationally backed waterproofing products and they agreed that this solution was best for Sonya.

Mr. Harrison was having a problem with water coming into his home through the entire side of his house. Whenever it rained heavy there would be flooding in a bedroom, bathroom, and in his garage. He has lived in his home for the past decade and has noticed the water intrusion since moving in. Mr. Harrison was very worried about water damage, mold growth, and rot, and wanted to never have to worry about the flooding again. 
Mr. Harrison saw one of our ads in Clipper Magazine and decided to take advantage of our free inspection and coupon. 

We sent out one of our highly trained and especially friendly inspectors, David, to look at Mr. Harrison's home. After looking around where the water was entering the home, David sat down with Mr. Harrison and told him all about our waterproofing system. Our WaterGuard product was perfect to capture the escaping water from the wall and surface ground, and a plus is only a small part of the flange shows, so it is very discreet in the home. Our TrenchDrain was a great addition to our WaterGuard system in the garage, because it not only effectively captures surface water at stairways, doorways and along other openings, but it is also made out of rugged reinforced plastic that will not crack or dent, so a vehicle can run right over it with no issues at all! 

Mr. Harrison agreed that these products were what his home needed, so he agreed to have them installed, plus a few other products! 
Our crew also installed the SuperSump Plus Pump, which can pump out up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour. Mr. Harrison wanted extra security, so we also installed the UltraSump backup pump, which is battery operated and will automatically power on if there is a power outage. 
We also installed the IceGuard, which prevents water from flooding your space if the discharge lines become frozen and also our LawnScape Outlet! 

Mr. Harrison now has a dry home and no longer has to worry about water ruining his personal items or mold growing in his home! We are so glad we are able to provide reliable products to homeowners when they need them the most!

Linda and her husband have lived in their home since it was built in 1957. They first started noticing foundation issues in 2004, such as cracks on their walls upstairs inside their home and cracks in their brick outside of their home, as well as in their crawl space. Their windows and doors were also sticking and their floors were becoming uneven. The couple had tried to fix the issue with jacks (from another company) but they failed soon after installing and eventually started to tip over. 
They had plans to renovate their home, but they knew they needed to fix their foundation issues first and "make everything sturdy before we begin", as they put it. And we could not agree more, so we were so glad they found us via HomeAdvisor and booked their free inspection!

Our inspector, Stephen, came out to their home and looked over their property. They had many cracks in their walls and uneven surfaces. After taking several photos and tests, Stephen sat down with the couple and explained to them his suggestions in detail. They liked that our products were nationally backed and thought that they were a great solution to their issues. They were ready to start the project! 

Our crew installed 3" Push Piers under the home to lift the settling home back to its original position. They also installed wall anchors in the crawl space to straighten the walls back up that was forced down by pressure from outside soil and water. 
To fix the issue of the uneven floor, our crew installed our SmartJacks system. This galvanized, easily adjustable steel stabilizer will never rust and will be able to lift your floors back to their original position. 

Linda and her husband are so glad they got their foundation work done before proceeding to everything else on their list. Your home's structure is all glued together. If one piece begins falling off, it can take the rest of your home down with it. And now they can rest peacefully knowing they have a long-lasting solution!

Jeffrey L. was having issues with his basement leaking and his wall bowing in. He first noticed cracks 10 years ago and it gradually got worse. Whenever it rained heavily, his basement would flood. It has gotten over 2 inches of water at one time and he knows it will happen again. He had dreams of being able to use his space for safe storage, because as of right now, he knew everything in his basement could possibly get ruined at any time. 
When Jeffrey saw our commercial on Channel 4 News, he called right away!
We had an inspector come out for free to inspect his basement. Our inspector noted the bowing wall and leaks, which had come from hydrostatic pressure from the wet soil outside of the home. The expansion of the soil had became too much for his wall and was causing cracks, which had became a place for water to leak through. 
They discussed possible solutions and decided on our WaterGuard System, CleanSpace Wall System, and CarbonArmor products. 
The WaterGuard is used to catch ground water and water from the walls, which works great with our CleanSpace Wall System, because not only is it white, clean, and a great alternative to painting, but it also reduces moisture and vapor in the crawl space! They also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump and TrenchDrain to collect and pump the water out of the home. 

For the bowing wall, our crew installed Carbon Armor.
CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

Jeffrey now has a dry basement that he can use for storage! He is so glad he does not have to worry about his wall bowing in anymore and getting worse! 

Mary B.'s basement wall corners were leaking whenever it rained heavily. She once had 16 inches of water in her basement. This leaking issue has caused damage to her brand new A/C unit and caused her to not be able to utilize her space the way she wanted to. Mary wanted to be able to use her basement for storage and as a living area. She was worried that the problem would only continue causing her home's integrity. She needed a company that would do the job right and had quality products and workers. 
She found the Basement Systems website and was directed to us, because we were in her service area. She liked all of our waterproofing products, so she called us up and scheduled a free inspection! 
Hunter came out, inspected her home, and then discussed with her the possible solutions. 
Mary liked the WaterGuard System, because it not only collected ground surface water, but also water from the walls due to its engineered "lip". It is also barely noticeable when cemented in! 
After learning more about our products, she was excited to get the project going.
We installed the WaterGuard System, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe Pump (has a battery-operated pump that will automatically kick on in case of a power outage), IceGuard, and SaniDry Sedona (a powerful dehumidifier that will keep the humidity level below 55%).

Mary is now proud to say she has a dry basement that she can transform into a living area! 
Call us today for a free estimate/inspection and take back your space once and for all! 

Rachel M. was having a problem with a leaky basement for the past 6 months anytime it rained heavy. The water was coming in from the garage door and back door. The most water she's had at one time is over an inch. She was previously using the space for storage and had some of her personal items stored in the basement. Her carpet had already been ruined by the flooding and she was worried about her furniture becoming damaged. She had already started to see mold growing from the excessive amount of moisture. 
Rachel's long term goals were to have a dry finished basement with carpet. 

She originally set out to find a good sump pump and in the process stumbled upon our website. Rachel liked all of our waterproofing products and was hooked when she saw that we offered free estimates and inspections. She was eager to learn more, so she called our appointment center and booked an inspection with John. 
John inspected her home and then discussed with Rachel the waterproofing products that could help her flooding issue. 
We have an all-star sump pump- The TripleSafe Sump Pump. This pump has 3 different pumps that automatically switch based on your space's needs. One of the pumps is battery operated, so even if your power goes out you won't have to worry about your pump failing on you when you need it most! 

We installed our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, TrenchDrain, WaterGuard System, and Lawnscape Outlet. The WaterGuard System does a great job at collecting water from both the ground surface and wall and directs it to the designated pump! 

Rachel now has a dry basement that she can start renovating and making it a place to store her items safely! She loves that she no longer has to worry or clean up any watery mess! 

James B. was having a settling issue with his forever home. He noticed exterior cracks forming 5 years ago and lately they were only getting worse. The cracks were becoming longer and wider, and appearing in multiple places. 
They needed a company that had a good price and a good warranty. Luckily, one of James' colleagues recommended us. He called us and we offered him our everyday deal of a free inspection and estimate! 
Our inspector, Nicholas, met with James and after inspecting his home, he discussed possible solutions to the problem. They agreed that our 3" steel Push Piers were the best solution for the home's settling problem. He told James that the home's settling could be from numerous things, such as erosion or the home's soil not being properly prepared before having a home built on it. But whatever the problem, it always should be fixed as soon as possible upon seeing the first signs of cracking! 
Our crew came in and installed our brackets deep into the soil beneath the foundation. 
In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, close cracks, and improve window and door operation.

Our foundation push pier systems include a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, as well as our performance warranty. They are a very affordable and long-term solution to foundation settling. James is happy that he no longer has to worry about the cracks getting worse and can rely on our nationally backed products. 

Ryan P. was moving back into his 1979 home, but first he needed a few things fixed. For the past few years, he has noticed his floors dropping and becoming uneven. Ryan was worried that one day they might collapse on him, so after talking about it with his friends, he was referred to us!
Our inspector, Nicholas, came over to inspect Ryan's home and talk with him about our solutions, products, price, and warranties. 
Ryan had already gotten estimates from other companies, but did not like the price that they gave him. He liked everything about our company, so he chose to work with us! 
Nicholas found that there was an excessive amount of moisture in the crawl space from pools of water and mold had begun to grow on his wood beams. The lack of support was causing the floors to drop, so Nicholas had two solutions for Ryan. 
The first being crawl space encapsulation. The liner reduces moisture and vapor in your crawl space. The other product we installed, the SaniDry Sedona would keep the humidity level below 55%. 
The other solution we had for Ryan and his uneven floors, was our SmartJack System. These steel galvanized piers are cut to size and can lift your floor back to the original position. 

Ryan now has a supported foundation and a dry crawl space. He no longer has to worry about his floors failing on him!
We are thankful he chose to trust us with his home! 

This Nashville family just moved into their 1950's home and found out that the basement had a serious leaking issue. 
Whenever it rained, the basement would have puddles and puddles of water.
They were worried about their things rotting and never being able to use their basement because there was always water everywhere. They were tired of the stress that it brought them anytime it rained. The family had tried to fix the problem themselves for the past 5 months, but the drains and sandbags used were no help.
They looked around for waterproofing companies and took bids, but they were looking for a company that not only had a good price, but a great warranty as well. We are a nationally backed company with warranties that customers love, so when they found our company on the website they decided to give us a chance. We sent over our inspector, Nicholas, and he gave them solutions to their issues and explained our waterproofing products. They liked our solutions, so our crew started on waterproofing their basement! 
They installed the WaterGuard to collect water from the walls and ground surface, the TrenchDrain, a sturdy drain for entryways, our TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and CleanSpace Wall System to hide the ugly stained walls! 

They love the way their basement walls look and love the fact that they don't have to stress about their basement flooding even more!
Plus, they can use their basement for storage now! 

Mr. Lawrence moved into his 1940's home a year ago. He just recently started noticing the water intake in his basement was getting worse and worse. When he had 4 ft of standing water in his basement, he knew he needed professional help. Mr. Lawrence got his basement encapsulated, and he also got a new product and area for the collected water to pump out of.. our LawnScape Outlet in his lawn!
Previously, the water that was pumping out of the basement was going out of a pvc pipe and onto their concrete driveway. There was water continuously pumping out and that was causing unsightly mold to grow right on their driveway!

Our crew installed the pvc pipe on the side of the house, which led to our LawnScape Outlet in their backyard, which is conveniently placed a few feet away from their home. The pvc pipe is buried and only the green outlet was left showing.

After the mold is power-washed off their driveway, they won't have to worry about it getting worse. The outlet is camouflaged in their backyard, not unsightly at all!

Mr. Lawrence is a happy customer now that he has an encapsulated basement and better outlet for the unwanted water to come out of!

The family bought this 1979 home 10 years ago and have noticed some changes in the past year making one of the doors harder to open and close. They are now ready to sell their home, but the door won’t close properly and there is a gap at the top. This must be addressed before putting the home on the market.

High humidity and the weight of the home have affected the integrity of the joist and supports. Without proper support, the wood began to sag and pull on the exterior walls of the home causing cracks and shifting of the door.

Project Summary:

Permanently Stabilize Floors

Specifications:

Install 3 SmartJacks to support the floor joist system above.

Install Supplemental beam

Lift & Level Floors

With floors properly supported and the frame square, the door can function properly.

If not repaired, the problem would have only gotten worse and the home would not have passed inspection. 

Instead, it is now ready for a new family to purchase and enjoy life.

Warranty:

Frontier Basement Systems warrants that the SmartJacks will stabilize the affected area against the further settlement for five (5) years from the date of installation, or Frontier will provide the labor and materials, at no cost to Customer, to make any necessary adjustments to the SmartJacks.

Additionally, the manufacture of the SmartJacks warrants that SmartJacks will, under normal use and service, be free from defects in material and workmanship for twenty-five (25) years from the date of installation.

Radon mitigation in Nashville TN

The average radon reading for this school was 27 pCi/L. The first test read 28.7 pCi/L  so a duplicate test was run, those results came back at 25.2. 

For radon test results above 4pCi/L, the EPA recommends action.

Lowering Radon levels was important for this school to keep the faculty and students safe.

Radon mitigation system

The intent of this project is to lower radon levels below 4 pCi/L; through the removal of existing baseboard. Then sealing the footing foundation wall joint around the inner perimeter using NexusPro Joint Sealant.

System Details: 

(4) Radon Mitigation systems

Radon discharge lines run overhead and above roof line using two Premium Radon Mitigation Large Fans to discharge out the exterior wall 

In some areas, the existing flooring had to be folded back to expose the footing wall joint.

Upon project completion, Frontier will provide a 3rd Party Test kits for post-testing.

The faculty, staff, and students are no longer in danger of these high levels or long-term exposure to this gas. Taking necessary actions to protect the lungs and health of all those that frequent the learning center.

Why:

This Nashville home had a finished basement that the home owner really enjoyed using. However, the basement would leak with heavy rains; drywall and wood flooring had been ruined. Damages,l mold, mildew, and causes were all concerns. Restoring this space properly and permanently was important to the home owner.

Product List:

Detach Stairs

DryTrak Drainage System

Wall Restoration

Electrical Install

TripleSafe Single Sump Pump System

Plan of Action:

1)Remove 22 linear feet of existing water damaged drywall up EXACTLY 37 INCHES. This will meet with the height of the existing shelf. The drywall is sitting on 2x4 studs BUT the drywall is 2" OFF THE WALL
2) Chalk a line on the existing wood flooring and use a skill saw to cut a line in the wood flooring to give us the necessary space to install our drainage system.
3) We will remove the bottom 3 or 4 stair treads, stringers, trim, as necessary in the way for us to properly install our DryTrak baseboard system.
4) Install Everlast wall restoration system 37 inches high to restore the finished wall we cut out. We will restore 22 linear feet with the Everlast panel. It comes with new plastic baseboards, metal studs, and chair rail. Everlast wall has a 50 year water damage warranty from the manufacturer. Everlast will is not organic therefore it cannot mold or rot.

5) Install 27 linear feet of 12mil CleanSpace wall liner on the basement walls where the DryTrack System is going.
6) We will use a floor adhesive glue to glue back down the cut pieces of wood flooring.
7) Install the TripleSafe single sump pump and discharge out.
8) We will bring a licensed electrician to wire two electrical outlets directly from the panel box to the sump pump to plug in to.

This home owner no longer has to worry about rainy days and water in the basement. He can rest easy knowing the home is protected.

This Nashville home tested for radon levels over 15pCi/L.

The US EPA marks action level at 4pCi/L, meaning a building over that level needs to mitigate the radon gas present in the space.

Radon is a gas created by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks.  Not a bid deal, right? Well if a home or building is sitting on top the pressure if even greater and the gas has no where to go except bottled up in the home.

The solution is simple, mitigate the gas. By providing an exit for the gas the pressure is released and the gas is diffused.

Radon levels are scary because it is the number one leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. (Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer for smokers). The higher the levels the greater the risk.

Frontier installed a Radon Mitigation System with a Premium Radon Fan and vent. The vent with fan suctions the gas out of the home and the pipe released it in to the atmosphere. The gas is dispersed and diffused, no longer a threat to those around. 

Top to Bottom, Home Encapsulation!

A 1930 home in Nashville was in need of new insulation. The attic and crawl space had insulation but not sure how old.

The thermostat was struggling, rooms were uncomfortable, the heating and cooling unit had to work way to hard.

With FREEZING winters behind us and HOT summers a head of us, making this home comfortable was important.

Making the home energy efficient was top priority for this family. Controlling moisture and humidity to prevent mold was also on this family's accomplish list.

From the top, out with the old.

Insulate the Attic,

1. Remove old insulation.

2. Seal all air leaks.

3. Cover Can lights and seal.

4. Blow in TruSoft Cellulose insulation.

5. Install new scuttle hatch cover.

Cleaning out the old insulation of the attic was first. Our crews vacuumed out the old soiled insulation, exposing the floor and frame.

To make the attic as energy efficient as possible sealing air leaks was first. Using a foam all cracks and holes were sealed, even can lights covered and sealed. This attic was not used for storage and did not house the HVAC or duct work so a TruSoft blown in cellulose insulation was the perfect solution for the family. The blow in insulation provides a budget friendly project that results in much lower energy bills. An air tight attic scuttle hatch cover finishes up the attic encapsulation for this home.

Meanwhile in the crawl space, to treat the cold floors, sagging floors, and water concerns encapsulation of this space was performed.

Insulate the crawl space,

1. Debris was removed.

2. Earth was regraded for drainage.

3. Lateral line dug and placed to collect ground water.

4. Waterguard Drainage System is installed against the footing of the foundation to collect water and take away from the foundation.

5. Delta Drainage Matting was laid down across the ground of the crawl space.

6. 2' Insulated panels were cut to fit and installed at the joist and sealed with ZypFoam

7. 20mil CleanSpace Liner lines the entire below grade space and sealed at the rim joists.

8. New customer crawl space door.

With everything sealed and insulated form top to bottom this old home is now ready for all Tennessee weather! The family will be comfortable, heating and cooling will be much easier, energy bills lower,  and the air healthier.

This family will appreciate these updates for years to come.

This client had purchased the home 2 months earlier when our inspector came out to check for water issues. During heavy rains water comes in under the basement door. this had done significant damage to the drywall in the basement. In the short time the home owner had been there they had already seen over 1/2 of water, damaged wood floor and lower half of drywall.

Wood flooring is a dead organic material that will absorb the moisture and swell. The level of wood moisture is important to protect wood flooring or furniture. Drywall absorbs water like a sponge creating mold and odors in the home.

The family plans of living in the home for a long time and understood this would most definitely happen again without a permanent solution. With plans to finish the basement, proper water management was absolutely necessary.

To address the water coming under the door a trench drain was installed to collect water and direct to a sump pump.

An UltraSump with a float switch collects water and pumps out and away form the home through a discharge line.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier controls the humidity of the home. The dehumidifier also drains into the sump pump system.

A permanent solution for this home owner's water problem will protect the home, personal belongings, and the health of the family. With all concerns and priorities addressed, a permanent solution, and a nationally backed warranty this family has a happy ending to their water problems.

This home technically has a crawl space on a really steep slope so one side is only about 4 blocks where the other is as tall as a traditional basement.

The family has lived in this Nashville home for 3 years and loves the idea of the extra space but wants a few things addressed before really taking advantage of it. .

The shorter end can have the traditional encapsulation where at the taller end needed a little water management.

Ideally the family would like to have it leveled and a concrete slab poured for additional storage.

The typical complaints are a concerns that are also important to fix; cold floors, family members with allergies and asthma, and high humidity.

We came up with a permanent solution that would accomplish all of these things.

The solution for this home was to encapsulate the shorter portion of the crawlspace with our CleanSpace 20mil vapor barrier.

Air Seal and SilverGlo in Rim Joist to prevent air leaks and drafts.

The taller portion did require some dig out with leveling for the concrete pour. It is now easy for the family to access and use for storage

A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier system is installed to help control humidity levels of the home making the air healthy and comfortable.

The family now has added a ton of usable space to their home, cut back on utility bills, and protected from mold, mildew, and wood rot.

This home owner was selling the house but the home was in need of serious repair before transfer. A structural engineer had several concerns regarding the foundation.

Concerns:

Permanently Stabilize Foundation,floor, and walls.

Replace Concrete Stairs

Repair Cracked Retaining Wall

Waterproof the Basement

Solution:

Steel Push Piers. The steel pipe and bracket system is hot dipped in molten zinc to prevent corrosion and rust.

The Push Pier has a secondary external sleeve at the upper portion of the pier directly under the footing to prevent lateral bending and failure of the pier.  A friction reducing collar is at the starter tip of the pier to create a space on the sides of the pier and drive the pier down to far greater lengths. Piers are driven down to load bearing strata and or bedrock to reach a pier pressure of at least 1,500 PSI confirming load bearing strata.

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 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.

Sister Floor Joists.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. using a 12"x28" wall support.

Concrete steps removed and replaced with new

Pour new concrete reinforced steps with a thin expansion joint between the newly poured steps and the brick.

WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system to permanently prevent water seepage. The WaterGuard will be installed with a layer of drainage rock. Finally, concrete will be poured over WaterGuard system and the floor will be restored flush.

TripleSafe Complete pump system. Primary pump will be a high-end 1/3 HP cast-iron Zoeller M53 Sump Pump with a mechanical float switch. Secondary pump will be a high-end 1/2 HP cast-iron Zoeller M98 Sump Pump with a mechanical float switch. Both the pumps sit on top of clean pump stands inside a perforated, below-grade twin sump liner and will run off AC Power. An UltraSump battery operated pump with automatic charger will also be installed along with a 120 amp sealed maintenance-free battery so the pump remains functional even during power outages. The Ultra Sump III will protect against flooding if your power or circuit breakers fail. Finally, an airtight lid with an airtight floor drain, in case of plumbing leaks, will be installed to prevent moisture from escaping from the sump liner.

 A WaterWatch alarm will alert the homeowner in the event of pump failure.

Concern: Smell coming from crawl space.

The home owner is aware of the moisture in the crawl space and already has a pump.

Problem: The home has poor drainage under the home, specifically at any joints or cut outs. Water is just sitting in the old sump pump creating a nasty smell througout the home above. 

Solution:

80 feet of SmartPipe. SmartPipe offers a water management solution for this home. The custom-engineered design provides a route for  water in the crawl space to travel to the pump and be pumped from the home.

SmartPipe has holes on top and front under a filter fabric allowing for ground water to pass. It also has larger holes on the back side for water from the crawl space walls, footing, and wall joist to pass. The drainage lines collects the water and runs to the existing sump pump.

This Nashville family can get back to enjoying their beautiful home without the musty and moldy smells.

Since the flood of 2010 this Nashville basement will flood during heavy rains.

A drain was installed in the basement floor when the home was built this seemed practical since the utilities were there.

In 2010 Nashville had a great flood, even ground water was going any where it could. Homes like this one had water coming in through the drain. Over time as the area grew, land was developed, water routes were altered.

Since this time this home has had flooding with every heavy rain.

Main concern: Water getting in the HVAC unit and causing damage.

The space is also used for storage so the goal was to protect the utilities and personal belongings, providing peace of mind for future rains.

The Solution:

Triple Safe Single Pump System

IceGuard

LawnScape Outlet

The pump liner collects all water and moisture. From there a single M-53 Zoeller cast iron sump pump moves the water through to the discharge lines.

The patented IceGuard prevents wintertime freeze-up of discharge lines, providing an escape route if needed. 

A 4" discharge line is buried and ran 15 feet away from the home at a down grade a LawnScape Outlet caps off the end. This fitting is a way to eliminate visible discharge lines in the yard.

A home purchase is one of the largest investments you can make. so enabling our customers to protect that is something we think very highly of here at Frontier Basement Systems.

Although we work every day to fix cracked, broken, settling and sinking homes and their foundations, we understand that each persons home and budget is highly individual and emotive and we have experts who work very hard to find the perfect solution that everybody can be happy with.

Don't hide the problem with patching over cracks, fixing the issues permanently and properly will ensure that the problem does not get worse and you aren't putting your home in danger of further structural damage as the weight shifts to areas not designed to bear it.

This Nashville home had a concrete basement pad which had sunk, needing to be raised and needed further stabilization of its foundation.

We were able to do this by installing Push Piers to the area of the building requiring the extra support, these low profile brackets are applied to the foundation and secured to the next solid layer of bedrock by a section of steel piping. There is no ongoing maintenance required and installation is complete within a matter of hours.

The investment in finishing a basement is always a good one - the extra living space is an increase in value and be more attractive to potential buyers.

The versatility of options are endless, extra family room, storage, or even a gym!

It is imperative that any finishings are completed using materials designed to withstand sub-ground level conditions. Basement to Beautiful wall panels are custom engineered foam panels with integral studs which are fastened directly onto the foundation walls, they have the highest insulation rating and have channels for wiring to be run through. They will remain unaffected by any flood water or moisture damage when paired with an Everlast wall panel as they are also manufactured with no organic materials.

Swimming pool safety is always a top priority whatever the weather. So when the surrounding concrete starts to sink this makes trips and falls all the more likely.

PolyLevel is ideal for the surrounding patio slabs because it's quick to install and the neatest option with very little of the area being disturbed.

Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that is emitted from rocks and soil. Radon can easily enter a building through cracks and gaps in the foundation, mixing with the interior air you breathe every day.

Impossible to see or smell, radon gas can cause cellular changes in lung tissue that eventually lead to lung cancer. It kills about 21,000 people in the U.S. every year.

This Nashville family now has the peace of mind in their newly purchased home and can focus on their new baby!

This home needed its foundation and floors permanently stabilized to remedy its unlevel floors and stop further damage from cracks in the structure.

The minimal disruptions and quick installation of Push Piers provided the ultimate solution, by digging down and installing against the bedrock or stable soil layer, the foundation was lifted and restored.

The family was so pleased with the outcome of our work that it earned us a 5 star review across the board - well done team!

With plans to finish the basement in the future the water that comes in with rains is not encouraging. This home had water leaking from the windows, door, and base of the wall. The home has had this problem for 10 years, over that time personal items have been ruined and there is a significant amount of square foot that could not be used. The homeowners would like to keep the entire basement dry, all the time.

The goal is a dry a basement for this older 1920s home on a monolithic slab with stone walls. Our inspector listened to the homeowners concerns, did a full inspection of the home, and designed a custom permanent solution for the family.

CleanSpace Wall System 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier. This is a great solution for an unfinished space; attractive and effective.

WaterGuard sits on the footing of the foundation, out of sight with no disturbance to the usable space.

DryTrak sits at the base of the wall and collects water, routing the water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the basement. This was used on the walls that WaterGuard cannot be installed.

A trench drain was placed at the foot of the steps for any water that might come in from under the outside door.

LawnScape IceGuard and Outlets provide a place for the water to escape safely away from the foundation of the home even in the event of a freeze or clog.

This basement is now permanently dry with safe useful space. The home owner has peace of mind and all the square footage back to use as needed.

This Nashville home had cracks in the basement wall, allowing for up to 2 inches of rain leaking in with heavy rain. After living with water leaks, stress, mold, and lost time for over two years this home owner was ready for a permanent fix. The home owner wants to keep the entire basement dry ALL the time! Once the foundation is fixed, this space can be finished for family living space adding additional value to the home.

The foundation walls of the basement are designed to hold the weight from top but not the weight of the soil from the sides. When large amounts of rain fall quickly and absorb in to the soil that pressure pushes against the wall creating stress. The GeoLock Wall Anchors reinforce the wall to support this hydrostatic pressure.

This Nashville,TN home was in need of some repair to the basement due to cracking in their concrete floor. Our job assignment was to lift and level the flooring and fill the cracks. This home project included using our PolyLevel injection system, which will expand underneath the concrete slab and lift the flooring back to its prior position. After the flooring is stable, we can then go in and fill the cracks with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. With our professionally trained staff and our highest quality products, no job is too tough to tackle for Frontier Basement Systems!

This home owner was concerned with a moldy, musty smell that he kept smelling in certain areas of the home. He knew that there was mold growth in the crawl space and was worried that it could flare up health risks. That's when he had called Frontier to get his free inspection, and sure enough, there was mold starting to grow on the foundation. Mold releases mold spores into the air that can cause asthma and allergies to develop.

We started by taking the black liner that wasn't protecting the home from moisture, out of the crawl space. We installed a number of our products that help with moisture control such as the SaniDry Crawlspace Air System, CleanSpace Liner 20 Mil, Delta Drainage Matting, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and our TripleSafe Single.

Thanks to our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, not only is this crawl space clean and dry, but it now brings cleaner air into the house. We provided the best permanent solution through our WOW customer service!

Here we installed watergaurd and a sump pump to fix this leaky basement.
