Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer was dealing with issues of his foundation settling, and this was causing cracks in his porch. This can become a problem because when the foundation of the home begins to settle it lessens the structural integrity of the home. The customer gave Atlanta Basement Systems a call, and we sent out a sales rep to inspect and determine what we would be able to install that would resolve the issues for this customer. The sales rep was able to determine that this customer was going to need helical piers and NexusPro crack repair. The helical piers are screwed into the ground to the appropriate depth, and the weight of the home is transferred from the piers onto the competent soil. The NexusPro crack repair is a silicone-based sealent, and it helps to prevent water infiltration, and it will not deteriorate during the natural contraction and expansion of the concrete during season change. Once the crew installed the piers and laid the NexusPro, this customer was left satisfied with the results, and had the peace of mind that the structural integrity of his home was no longer compromised. 

This customer called us here at Atlanta Basement Systems with his garage area being a concern. His number one priority of this job was to get the garage lifted and stabilized. He was also noticing cracks on the outside of the home, the pre-existing ones were getting longer and new cracks had developed. The drywall in the garage was also developing cracks, so he knew this is something that he wanted to get fixed. Once the sales representative completed their inspection, they knew the best option to fix his problem was going to be the lintel lift. For the lintel lift they go through and install a curved steel beam on the sides and into the concrete at the base of the garage. Then, the steel beam is straightened out, and this is what lifts the garage up. The beam is then covered with a decorative piece to hide the steel underneath. They also filled in all of the cracks on the outside of the home, to keep up with aesthetics. This customer was left thoroughly happy with the results of this job.

This homeowner gave us a call because they were tired of their sagging floors in their kitchen and around the island. She was already planning on redoing her floors, so she decided this was a great time to go ahead and fix the foundational issues as well. After receiving an inspection and estimate, she asked us to return to the house to do the work.  In order to fix the sagging, we installed 5 SmartJacks, along with steel shims and a sister joist. SmartJacks can be easily installed in a day, and they are installed without over lifting the foundation. 

The beam supporting this homeowner's kitchen was weak and sagging. The sagging beam pulled away from the wall, resulting in visible cracks and a bouncy floor in the kitchen. For permanent stabilization and structure safety, SmartJack support posts were the most effective solution.  

Using helical piers, we provided this customer with a stabilized foundation.
