This brick home started to form stress cracks inside the crawl space and was sloping away on one side. So, we shored up these foundation issues by installing helical piers under the home.
Unprotected and unreliable, this crawl space caused more problems then it solved. We installed our vapor barrier and dehumidifier to rid it of water evaporation and lower the humidity levels. We also supported the floor above with SmartJacks on steel beam supports to keep the floor from sagging and cracking.
The weight of the house started to be too much for the piers to carry. The floor inside the home was sagging, so we stabilized it by installing our SmartJacks in the crawl space.
The SmartJack system is the only floor-stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of sagging floors - the weak soils below. SmartJacks are fully-adjustable steel piers that permanently stop settlement in its tracks and lift the floors back to their original position.
A brick foundation wall in this customers full-basement was bowing and cracked. The Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. In addition to the Anchor System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was fastened to the wall to prevent moisture from passing through.
