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.
This homeowner reached out to us because their porch was sagging on one side and it was disconnecting in places. After an assessment by one of our System Design Specialists, they decided it could be fixed with the installation of helical piers. Helical piers are great for stabilizing light structures like this porch, and they lifted it back to the original level. Quickly fixing problems like these allow homeowners to save a lot of money and stress by addressing the problems before they get worse.
This customer was dealing with a moist and humid crawl space, which was leading to mold growing on the wood in the space. Once mold begins to grow in the crawl space, this is allowing impure air to filter throughout your home. This can lead to many different health issues for the family, and once mold begins to grow, this can lead to further issues with wood rot. This customer knew they needed to get this issue fixed in their crawl space. To rid the mold before the encapsulation, we used soda blasting, which remediates the mold and gets it out of the space, leaving the crawl space clean and to filter throughout the home.
This customer got into contact with us here at Atlanta Basement Systems with concerns over the cracks in her concrete driveway. They have worsened over time, and she wanted to get them handled. One of our system design specialists, Josh, was able to inspect her home and he was able to give her the solution to her problems. To fix these cracks, they used NexusPro crack repair, which is put into the cracks, sealing them off. NexusPro will not allow water infiltration, and it will not deteriorate during the natural contraction and expansion of the concrete. This customer was left pleased with the results.
This customer was having problems with the concrete around his home. He was noticing cracks and areas where it was unlevel. This can cause issues for the homeowner because the concrete surrounding a home is helping to stabilize the foundation of the home, and if the concrete takes too much damage it can begin to decrease the structural integrity of the foundation of the home. Concrete will crack naturally during contraction and expansion as the seasons change. However, here at Atlanta Basement Systems the NexusPro Crack Repair that we use ensures that this will not happen. For this customer we also used PolyLevel, which is a structural grade foam made up of polymers and it helps to lift and level the concrete to the desired height. It is installed into small holes that are drilled into the concrete. The NexusPro is a silicone based sealant that will not ruin during the natural contraction and expansion of the concrete. This customer was left pleased with the results, and will not have to worry about the structural integrity again.
