Before & After Photos

The Homeowner was in their crawlspace and noticed a few cracks in the wall. Thankfully none of them were leaking and no water has made its way into the crawlspace/floor area. They gave us a call to come take a look to see what we could do to help give them peace of mind before something were to happen. After taking a look, we realized we could fix the problem using our Flexispan crack repair system.

Flexispan is a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant. we then apply a strip of porous foam over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This solution allows any future seepage of water move down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system without been seen.

This homeowner has noticed a portion of his flooring has sunk and is looking for a solution to have it corrected permanently. They gave us a call and after our technician took a look, we suggested a few solutions. First off, in order to fix the sagging floors, we installed SmartJack supports in order to support the floor joist system above. We also installed a supplemental beam/girder as additional support. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona to ensure the humidity will be low moving forward. 

You ask what causes sagging floors. Floors above crawlspaces are vulnerable to all kinds of problems. High humidity and weak foundation soils may cause support columns to shift and settle which in turn causes your floors to sag and bounce. 

How does the SmartJack System stabilize the sagging floor?

1. Place supplemental beam.

2. Our production team excavates a 2x2x2 hole at each SmartJack location. 

3. We then fill the hole with a compacted engineered fill and set the high-strength cast aluminum SmartJack base

4. We measure, cut and assemble steel SmartJack columns.

5. We connect the SmartJack to the existing supplemental beam then tighten and lift. 

A home owner wanted their foundation fixed. DryZone was able to fix their tilting and cracked foundation using these beams which helped support the home.

With a call to DryZone, this homeowner was able to have his driveway lifted, leveled and all the joints and cracks sealed! What a difference in a day for this home!
