Before & After Photos

Having a waterproofed crawl space means that you can have a worry-free mind every time it rains. A couple in Boonville, Indiana had reached out to Healthy Spaces after visiting one of our social media posts about crawl space encapsulation. The encapsulation had interested the couple in waterproofing their crawl. On the day of the inspection, there were signs of water coming into the crawl space and it was humid. 

The two openings were tightly secured with new access well such as the EverLast crawl space door. To control the amount of water that came up through the dirt floor, the dimpled polyethylene membrane matting is sprawled out. The matting directs the water towards the sump which will then carry the water out and away from the home. CleanSpace is fastened to the upper parts of the walls and on top of the drainage matting. CleanSpace has multiple layers of plastic with different characteristics of flexibility and puncture and tears resistance. The dream of encapsulating the homeowners' crawl space had finally come true and we were happy to be a part of it. 

Our client in Fort Branch, IN, had a basement with a support system that was uneven and unable to properly handle the weight of the home above. This issue was causing structural instability, and if left unaddressed, it could have led to serious problems like sagging floors or more significant damage to the property over time.

Our team installed the SmartJack XT system and a Supplemental Beam, providing the necessary support to stabilize the structure and prevent uneven, sagging floors. The SmartJack XT and Supplemental Beam are both fully galvanized to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability. Additionally, the jacks can be adjusted as needed in the future to maintain proper support, safeguarding the home for years to come.

This Celestine, IN home was have a problem with expansive soils pressing inward on the block foundation basement walls.  The pressure was causing bulging and cracking, which besides being ugly, was actually showing the foundation needed reinforcing in those areas.  

The standard repair is usually to anchor the wall by driving rugged steel wall anchors from the interior of the basement through virgin soil out to an anchor in the yard.  The wall anchor system is not functional in every situation.  There was a challenge to repairing this wall because there wasn't adequate easement on the side of the house to allow for wall anchoring.  Due to the extremely tight quarters, anchoring was out.  Instead, Chris, the design specialist, suggested reinforcing and stabilizing the wall with beams called PowerBraces.  Powerbraces anchor above the wall and below it to keep the wall stable and the foundation movement from affecting safety.  The installation took just a couple days and was an immediate relief to the worried homeowners!  

With cracking in this Edwardsport, IN basement walls happening before homeowner, Seth S. eyes, he knew it was a project much larger than he could fix himself. A few years ago, the crack started out small, but over time it widened and grew. He decided to give Healthy Spaces a call about his foundation issues, and an appointment was quickly set. 

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to Seth's home and did a thorough inspection of his basement. Once they put a plan together, our foundation crew came out and installed PowerBraces to support the walls. The PowerBrace is an adjustable steel I-beam system with two important benefits: stabilizing bowed or tilting walls, and (over time) forcing bowed or tilting wall sections back to their original position. All PowerBrace components are manufactured to exacting standards, with an anti-corrosion zinc coating that will keep them looking like new for decades to come!

A homeowner in Washington, IN, wanted to sell their home soon but wanted to take care of the cracks in the basement wall. This is a clever approach since this will increase the value of their home after. Foundation issues impact three important parts of your life, such as the impact on the safety of your home, your home’s value, and your peace of mind that is at risk. The cause of cracks in the walls is because of foundation settlement. Settlement is the movement your home experiences when the soil below can no longer support its weight. By repairing the cracks in the walls, the home has a chance of creating a higher value for itself.  

To bring the wall together again, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System wall is set into place. Wall anchor systems comprise galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded in the soil out away from your foundation wall. They connect the wall to steel wall plates with galvanized steel rods. A benefit of a wall anchor system is the ability to be tightened during dry periods. The GeoLock wall anchors have a higher soil capacity, so they provide greater stability and are designed to straighten the failed wall. By taking action and improving the foundation of their home, they can now sell the home in the future with no trouble.
