Esom Hill, GA's Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Contractors

In Esom Hill, a homeowner noticed increasing concern as cracks began forming in their walls and their floors started to sag noticeably. Recognizing these issues as signs of deeper foundation problems, they reached out to us at Atlanta Basement Systems. Our promise of delivering a dependable, lasting solution through a remarkable customer experience aligned well with their needs. Our System Design Specialist then systematically assessed the premises. The inspection revealed that the home's structural integrity was compromised, particularly at floor level, due to weakened floor joists. The decision was made to proceed with our reliable SmartJack® System to rectify the problem.

Once plans were finalized, our production team took over. They expertly positioned galvanized steel columns on a robust 12-inch steel base, ensuring the SmartJack® System's firm foundation. This setup effectively distributed the weight of the home, targeting the weakened basement points. The installation process also included securing the adjustable top brackets to the existing girders, allowing for precise adjustments of the threads. Through careful alignment and adjustments, the team managed to lift the floors back towards their original level, resolving wall cracking and reducing floor bounce.

Post-installation, the homeowner experienced a notable difference as their home’s floors returned to stability and the cracks ceased widening. By addressing the problem with precision and professionalism, we restored both safety and peace of mind to the homeowner.

In Esom Hill, a homeowner reached out to us at Atlanta Basement Systems facing an unsettling issue—sagging floors stemming from their crawl space. Upon their initial contact, our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection to assess the situation. During this visit, our experienced System Design Specialist, Robbie< performed a comprehensive inspection, revealing significant issues with the crawl space support system resulting in significant sagging in the floors above.

Understanding the structural needs, we recommended the SmartJack® System as the most reliable solution. This system is designed to stabilize crawl space beams and support the floor joists, effectively lifting the floors toward their original, intended elevation. The SmartJack® System also minimizes floor bouncing by strengthening the weakened floor joists and distributing the weight more evenly.

Once the proposal was set, our skilled production team moved into action. Josh and his crew meticulously worked on-site. They prepared the crawl space by reinforcing weak foundation soils and creating a robust base of engineered fill for proper weight distribution. The team then precisely measured and cut galvanized steel columns, placed them on a 12-inch steel base, and secured the installation with adjustable top brackets to the existing girders.

In the final phase, heavy-duty threaded rods were adjusted, removing the sag and reinstating the integrity of the floors. After careful finishing and clean-up, the homeowners were left with a reliable, long-lasting foundation solution. Our commitment to a remarkable customer experience was on full display, restoring both the home’s physical structure and the homeowner’s peace of mind. Through this job, we reinforced our mission to be the trusted experts in foundation repair, delivering exceptional, stable results that homeowners can rely on.

Recently, a homeowner in Esom Hill contacted us regarding a serious issue with their basement. The problem was a bowing basement wall, which posed a risk to the structural integrity of their entire home. Our System Design Specialist, Waylon, then visited their home to perform a thorough evaluation. Using expertise and precise evaluation techniques, the specialist identified that the basement walls were indeed bowing inward, suggesting possible foundation failure. Our recommendation was to install the CarbonArmor® system to stabilize the walls effectively.

Our highly trained production team began by preparing the basement wall surface to ensure optimal adhesion. The CarbonArmor® straps, crafted from carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, were then strategically applied to the wall. Leveraging the system’s extraordinary strength, far exceeding that of steel, we secured the straps using a high-strength epoxy resin. This formed a strong bond, both with the carbon fiber and the wall itself. Our exclusive ArmorLock brackets complemented the process, preventing the wall from future movement.

This intentional approach resulted in a permanent and non-invasive solution. The resolution of the foundation issue provided peace of mind, affirming our commitment to delivering remarkable customer experiences and reliable, lasting solutions.
