Before & After Photos

In Chattanooga, TN, our specialists addressed a common issue in a crawlspace - sagging beams and floor joists. To stop the problem from getting worse, we installed the trustworthy SmartJacks system. This solution offers support to the weakened parts of the crawlspace and can be adjusted for added reinforcement if necessary.

We recently visited a residence located near Chattanooga, TN to evaluate sagging beams in their basement. This issue is widespread in many homes, as cheaper beams are often used by home contractors, which can gradually bend over time. To tackle this problem, we utilized our SmartJacks system, which reinforces weakened beams and provides a permanent solution.

Before we got involved, the crawl space under this Chattanooga, TN, home had its fair share of issues. The floors above had started to sag, and that unmistakable damp smell had begun to creep up into the house. The homeowner tried to ignore it at first, but eventually, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. When he called us, he was hoping for a solution that would make his crawl space as worry-free as the rest of his home.

When we arrived, it didn’t take long to see what was going on. After we laid out our plan, we got to work on a complete transformation. We started by installing a SmartJack System to give the floor above a strong, lasting foundation. As soon as these steel jacks were in place, the homeowner could feel the difference. The floors felt sturdy and dependable again. Moisture control was next on our list. Knowing how humid Tennessee can get, we installed an IceGuard Discharge Line outside, which protects against any water backup during freezes. Inside, a SuperSump Pump would now handle water removal, keeping the crawl space dry no matter the season.

To top it all off, we upgraded the entrance with an EverLast Door. We also added a new light fixture with a switch, giving the homeowner easy access to check on his crawl space whenever needed. When we finished, it was a whole new space. What was once a damp, dark crawl space with structural issues is now dry, stable, and easy to access. This Chattanooga homeowner can now breathe easier, knowing his crawl space is doing its job.

This porch in Chattanooga, TN was sagging and not only looked unattractive, but could potentially lead to safety hazards. To fix it, the team used PolyLyft to strategically inject the slab. As the PolyLyft filled the voids beneath the porch, it expanded and raised the slab with it. 

In Chattanooga, TN, a homeowner contacted us for assistance in waterproofing their garage due to persistent water infiltration, especially after heavy rainfall. Following an inspection by our home inspector, we recommended the installation of a water collection and redirection system. Specifically, we chose to install our WaterGuard drainage system, designed to efficiently collect and divert water away from the area. Notably, WaterGuard is distinct from traditional drain tile systems, as it's installed just beneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor, providing effective water management.

To ensure comprehensive protection, we also introduced the TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three layers of defense against potential water-related issues. It's worth mentioning that our client opted to include a backup battery pack, which ensures continued pump operation even during electrical blackouts.
