Before & After Photos

Check out this project we did for Sarah C. of Hot Springs National Park, AR.  Here joists were sagging due to moisture.  We used our SmartJacks® crawl space support jacks to lift and stabilize the structure. For added protection, we applied LumberKote® Wood Sealant to all the wood under the home.  Sarah can rest assured that moisture will no longer pose a threat to the stability of her home.

Here we see a great example of what Redeemers Group can do for a failing Lintel. We were able to push the bricks back up and into place, then install new support behind the cracks, to ensure it will never sink or fail again!

Foundation Settlement and Structural Instability Threatened Home Integrity

Significant foundation settlement and inadequate structural support caused visible drywall cracking and ongoing floor instability, requiring a comprehensive stabilization and waterproofing solution to prevent further damage.

Over the course of a year, the homeowner in Mountain Home, AR began noticing cracks forming in the drywall—clear signs of foundation settlement and structural movement. The home’s design relied on a single center fly-over steel beam, leaving large sections of flooring and load-bearing walls unsupported. This lack of proper support led to sagging floor joists, uneven load distribution, and increasing concern as the homeowner prepared for future renovations. A crawlspace and basement combination further complicated the issue, requiring a customized approach to avoid obstructing key access points like the basement doorway and storage areas.

SmartJack System, Push Piers, and Custom Beam Installation Delivered Lasting Stability

To address the structural issues, a tailored solution was implemented using a combination of SmartJack support systems, supplemental beams, joist sistering, and foundation push piers. A 30-foot supplemental beam was installed along both the front and rear of the home, supported by strategically placed SmartJacks—six in the front to address heavier load demands and four in the rear. Joist sistering reinforced weakened spans, particularly under high-traffic areas like the bathroom, while adjustments were made near the storage room to preserve accessibility without compromising structural integrity.

Additionally, eight push piers were installed along the southeast corner to permanently stabilize the settling foundation—five from inside the crawlspace and three requiring exterior concrete removal and replacement. The team overcame challenging excavation conditions, including large subsurface stone, and adapted installation methods where necessary. Minor customizations, such as shimming select joists to reduce floor noise, were completed at the homeowner’s request while maintaining transparency about best practices.

Integrated Waterproofing and Encapsulation Enhanced Long-Term Protection

Beyond structural stabilization, the project incorporated advanced waterproofing and encapsulation strategies to protect the home from future moisture-related damage. A CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed throughout the crawlspace and basement walls, seamlessly integrated with a Dry-Trak drainage system to channel water into a new sump pump system. The discharge line was upgraded with a Spee-D drain to redirect water away from the driveway, improving both function and curb appeal.

This integrated approach ensured not only immediate structural correction but also long-term durability by addressing underlying moisture concerns—a critical factor in preventing future foundation issues. The combination of engineered support systems, customized installation methods, and moisture control solutions provided a comprehensive repair that restored stability and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Identifying Serious Crawlspace Settlement and Structural Risks

This project involved a home in Mountain Home, AR where the crawlspace had been settling for years, creating structural concerns that affected floors, doors, and interior walls. The homeowner, Jay B., a veteran dealing with health challenges, had previously attempted repairs himself and had even received a quote from another company. However, the settling continued, causing cracks in multiple rooms and making it harder for him to ensure his wife would have a safe, reliable home to live in or eventually sell. After our inspection, Jay sought a permanent, trustworthy solution that stayed within his budget while still restoring the home’s stability.

Delivering a Targeted SmartJack Solution for Long-Term Stability

We provided a tailored repair plan that focused on the most affected support areas while respecting the homeowner’s financial considerations. By installing a series of SmartJacks along the main beam, we delivered a powerful and lasting lift, even within the constraints of a gravel crawlspace and limited access points. Despite HVAC and plumbing obstacles, our installation team successfully maneuvered through the tight entry and low-clearance areas to position the system correctly. This approach offered far better long-term performance than the competing option Jay had previously been offered, giving him the peace of mind of a dependable structural repair.

Restoring Interior Functionality Through Proven Structural Methods

The effectiveness of the SmartJack system became immediately clear. The installation closed cracks in the full bathroom near the door and ceiling, restored the functionality of a sticking door, and eliminated cracks on both sides of the half bath—including the wall facing the laundry room and the front interior area. These visible improvements underscored the importance of using engineered support systems designed specifically for crawlspace settlement. By applying methods that directly address the root cause, we delivered stability, safety, and long-term value to the home.

Kristie G. of Conway, AR was noticing that her garage wall was pulling away from the rest of the structure.  She also noticed some cracking in an interior wall.  These are classic signs of foundation settlement.  While visiting the Conway Home Improvement Show, she met Redeemers Group and set an appointment for a free inspection.  Our foundation expert Jim went to Conway to diagnose the problem.  After explaining to Kristie what was causing these issues, he provided her with a permanent solution that she readily agreed to.  Chet and crew used push piers to permanently stabilize the foundation.  They were also able to lift it back into place to close all gaps that had formed.  Kristie was relieved and quite impressed with the care that was taken with her home.  That is what we at Redeemers Group call a remarkable experience and we are proud to have been able to provide that.
