Atlanta Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This home had some serious foundation sagging due to the poor support in the crawl space. In the before photo, you can see the weakened damaged wood post, that is bending under the weight of the floor. To solve this issue, we installed SmartJacks, along with a few steel supplemental beams. SmartJacks can be easily adjusted, making them easier to install in tight spaces than other options. Unlike beams or wood posts, the SmartJacks won't rot or shift over time. Now this homeowner can rest assured that they have a solid foundation.

Before we got there, the crawl space was unenclosed, dirty, and damp. To fix this, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system. To do this all debris has to be removed and then the vents have to be sealed. Next, the drainage matting is laid down and the liner is put on top of it. Then the crew has to carefully wrap the bottom of the piers with the liner. To finish off this crawl space, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to control the relative humidity in the air. Now the crawl space is clean, bright, and dry!

This customer was dealing with unlevel concrete all around the property of their home. This was a concern for them because not only does unlevel concrete cause many tripping hazards, it can also result in improper drainage that can lead to water damage. It also causes uneven pressure distribution which deteriorates the structural integrity of the concrete, leading to cracks. This customer called and scheduled an inspection, and this lead to the solution of PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight, high-density foam that is installed into the concrete through pea-sized holes that were drilled. This foam expands and lifts the concrete. It does not add any additional weight and it is water and won't wash away. The PolyLevel helped to alleviate the un-level concrete, and the customer was left satisfied. 

This homeowner wanted to get the basement waterproofed to prevent any water damage from occurring to their home and belongings. In order to do the waterproofing, we installed WaterGuard drainage, along with a SuperSump Plus, and CleanSpace. All of these products will work together to keep moisture out of the air, floor, and walls.

In the crawl space, moisture and weakened piers caused the support beams and floor joists to sag and settle. This led to the floors above to sag and feel bouncy. The most effective solution to repair these issues was to install a steel supplemental support beam and SmartJack support posts.
