Atlanta Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently purchased this home that was built in the 1800s. There has only been one addition to the home in 1920. Over the years, the homes support system began to fail, resulting in sagging and uneven floors. Our crew solved the problem by providing permanent support in the customers crawl space using our SmartJack Support Post System. 

Foundation piers were installed to stabilize this failing foundation and help lift it back to its original position.

Inadequate support in this customers crawl space led to sagging floors in their living room. To level and stabilize the floor, we installed a SmartJack Support Post in the crawl space. 

This homeowner reached out because they were unhappy with the current status of their basement. They reached out to Atlanta Basement Systems to get a free estimate on getting the basement fixed up. One of our System Design Inspectors went out to the house and walked the homeowner through the current problems and potential solutions. The two biggest issues were that water was getting into the basement and this was causing issues with the foundation.

In order to fix this, one of our crews installed multiple PowerBraces to stabilize the foundation walls. These steel beams stop further damage and also straighten out the walls again. Additionally, the crew waterproofed the basement by installing the  WaterGuard drainage system along with the CleanSpace Wall System. Now the basement is protected from water intrusion and the walls are stabilized and strong!

This customer was faced with foundation issues in his basement. He was noticing droopy floors, and these can become a very big issue. When the structural integrity of the foundation is messed up, this can be the result of many different issues. The most common that we see has to deal with water and high moisture levels in the space. The crew was able to get out and determine the causes of his issues, and install equipment that resolved all of his issues. The crew installed a waterproofing system in this customers basement, along with SmartJacks and supplemental beams, that helped to stabilize the foundation of his home. The waterproofing system included CleanSpace, the CleanSpace vent seal and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidfier. These working parts all join together to ensure that no water or moisture can enter the basement and cause further damage. The CleanSpace is a durable liner that allows the water to seep behind, and it encapsulates the basement leaving water out of the space. The CleanSpace vent seal covers all of the vents in the basement, ensuring that the moist, humid air from the outside cannot enter and cause changes in the relative humidity levels. The SaniDry Sedona is our top-of-the-line, highly-efficient dehumidifier that keeps the air dry, and keeps the relative humidity down during all four seasons. The SmartJacks were installed alongside the supplemental beams, and this is what fixed the customers concern of droopy floors. The SmartJacks are steel beams that are installed into the concrete, and all connected. Once connected, they are tightened in place and this helps to stabilize the floors from below. This basement system was restored, and was waterproof and stable.
