Horizontal Cracking in the Foundation in Albion, IL

A home in Albion, IL, had a basement with a poor drainage system that persisted for many years. The block walls contained horizontal cracking, which was caused by the foundation settlement. Cracked walls can be a scary sight, but luckily, it is treatable.  When the soil around the home has experienced heavy rainfall, that is now drying up, the foundation is affected. The soil will expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing the foundation to move and form cracks. 

The GeoLock Wall Anchor system is engineered to stop wall failure and will perform in any soil type. This system requires soil on the outside of the foundation for the steel rods to be secured. The wall anchor system can fix severed problems such as leaning walls and wall sliding in at the bottom. The process presents minimal disturbance from installation. The homeowner was satisfied with the finished result!

Homeowner in New Harmony, IN was experiencing stair-step cracking throughout his basement wall. There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, but the main issue is the pressure from foundation soils. Installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the anchors aren't affected by the soil constantly moving. Foundation wall anchors extend out to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond your home, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall. 

Doors Sticking & Unlevel Floors in New Harmony, IN

Mike & Terri of New Harmony, IN, were experiencing their doors sticking, cracks in the interior walls around door frames, and could tell that their floors had a slope and not level. After doing a Google search on companies that did structural repair for sagging floors, they came across Healthy Spaces. After spending some time reading their reviews and looking at past work examples on their website, they decided to give them a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

After doing a thorough inspection, it was discovered that their floor joists were becoming weakened and started bending. Our team installed a new supplemental beam, along with 10 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Our SmartJack system permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in your crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists in the crawl space.

Stabilizing Crawl Space Floor in Owensville, IN

Contractor in Owensville, IN was working with the owner of a commercial building. After doing an inspection of the crawl space, he saw some major concerns that were outside his scope of work. He called Healthy Spaces to get set up for a free inspection, together they all devised a plan to ensure the crawl space problems were fixed permanently!

In the before photo, you can actually see where one of the concrete columns is leaning to the right. Additional problems we found, the crawl space jacks had no support, with mainly concrete blocks and pieces of wood "shimmied" in between the open gaps. Our foundation installers first needed to replace some of the damaged supplemental beam and joist repair before installing 8 SmartJacks in the crawl space. SmartJacks are used to permanently stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. They do not replace the existing columns and piers but add strength and stability to what is there.
