Before & After Photos

The owners of this home in Boonville, IN were experiencing uneven floors throughout their home and were interested in fixing this problem. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and together they decided that the SmartJack system was the best solution. 

SmartJacks are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. They are able to support 60,000 lbs. The SmartJacks were installed directly into the foundation floor, extending 3 feet tall, permanently stabilizing, lifting the home and providing level floors.

Our client in Saint Meinrad, IN, had recently purchased a home a 106 year home that would get water leaking in through the basement windows when it would rain. The purpose of basement windows is to add appeal to your space by bringing in natural sunlight. 

Our team installed our EverLast Basement Windows that are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. They're designed with double-paned which are much more energy-efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. The EverLast Windows will never rot, rust, decay, or need paint. They won't be affected by being exposed to the elements, all the while maximizing the beauty of the basement space. The Low-E double thermopaned glass of EverLast™ Basement Windows saves you on your energy bills. It's a small upgrade that can really make a big difference for your home!

It's important to protect your crawl space from future water that finds its way into the crawlspace through the dirt floors.  A homeowner in Rockport, Kentucky, wanted to add drainage matting to properly protect the space. A dimpled Polyethylene membrane allows water to flow to the sump pump. It also gives an extra cushion for the CleanSpace liner to be secured on top of. 

This Reed, KY homeowner had noticed that his home would never stay the same temperature. It was humid and hot in the summer, and the air conditioner was always running. In the winter, it was frigid, and with the heat running and the floors were always cold as well. The homeowner decided to give us a call to diagnose the issues that were happening.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was to the rescue. When he arrived, he greeted the homeowners and proceeded to do a thorough inspection of the crawl space. It was humid and damp, and the previous vapor barrier wasn't doing its job. Damon recommended a new vapor barrier to keep the crawl space dry and seal away the outside moisture and air. The crew installed a 6mil liner to the crawl space to help with this. 

These homeowners are very satisfied with the end result and have already noticed a financial difference in their monthly electric bills.

A customer based in Rockport IN wanted to solve a moisture problem that has been persisting for the past few years.  The home itself has visual signs of sagging floors such as a slight floor slope and a few cracks in the interior walls.  A floor slope can eventually create a gap between the floor and interior walls, hence the walls showing cracks. When a crawl space is built, the columns are located throughout the crawl space to support the weight of the structure above.  Since the columns were spaced too far apart, the beam was becoming an overload and sagging the columns. This eventually causes the floor joists and girders to become bouncy, and soft, and begin to sag.  A floor that is strong and level will fix the root cause of sagging floors.

To solve the issue of moisture and an uneven floor level, a SmartJack System is installed.  SmartJacks are steeled support systems used to permanently stabilize and level the girders and food joists in a crawl space. These support systems do not replace the existing columns and piers, but add strength and stability to what is there.  The weak foundation soils and moisture conditions are addressed once a two-foot cube of soil is excavated at each SmartJack location.  The hole will be filled with concrete or engineered fill to create a stable, load-bearing footing.  The base is positioned to hold the SmartJack in place and to ultimately distribute loads.  Installing our SmartJack System will prevent any sagging floors in the future and give the homeowner peace of mind.
