Settling Floor Supported in Osceola, IA
This homeowner wanted to get his house fixed up before his daughter came to visit him. He knew that his floors had been settling in the middle for some years, however he hasn't wanted to pay much attention to this problem until the present. After having many people tell him that they couldn't fix it, he gave us a call to see what we could do to help.
We sent System Design Specialist Kevin French to inspect the support underneath the floor, and see what was happening. Kevin took a look in the crawlspace and saw that there was no climate control system in the crawlspace which had allowed the supports to sink down and not hold up the floor anymore. After showing this to the homeowner and reassuring that this problem can be fixed, the homeowner was relieved that someone had finally given him a solution. Our team went out to the home and installed SmartJacks and a supplemental support beam to lift the floors closer to being flat. These products helped to strengthen and stabilize the floor so that the home was more secure.
The homeowner was thrilled that we were able to help him. He thought the crew did an amazing job and he can't wait until his daughter comes to visit now. Check out the new crawlspace supports in this home!
Crawlspace Encapsulation in Bondurant, IA
This homeowner was worried about mosquitoes and mold in her moldy, wet crawlspace. She was also concerned about her children because the mold and high humidity are associated with harmful allergens. She had heard of our services and she wanted us to give her a permanent solution for her home to be dry and with low humidity.
We sent System Design Specialist Kevin French to inspect the crawlspace and determine what was causing the mold and mosquitoes to live there. Kevin found that the crawlspace was completely wet and that the AC condenser line was dripping into the middle of the crawlspace without any drainage system. The water was just sitting there, causing the crawlspace to be wet, and the humidity to grow mold quickly. Our team wanted to protect this homeowner's home right away, so we sent a crew to start encapsulating her crawlspace. Our team utilized CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to encapsulate and protect the home from moisture, a sump pump with a proper discharge pipe to bring water away from the home, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to bring down the humidity level and purify the air.
The homeowner was so happy with the way everything turned out and he was very appreciative of all the things the crew was able to do for him. Check out his newly encapsulated crawlspace!
Protecting Concrete in Branson, MO
This homeowner has lived in his house for many years. He noticed that the concrete on his driveway had started to crack and flake, however he wanted to maintain it for as long as he decides to live there. He had about our services from his friend, so he gave us a call to see how we could help him.
We sent System Design Specialist Nick Tiberghien to inspect this homeowner's concrete and determine a comprehensive solution to fix the concrete problems. Nick found that due to a lack of control joints for expansion and shrinking, the concrete slabs ran into each other and started to crack. The pitting and flaking on the concrete was another result of the concrete expansion. Nick talked to the homeowner about options to fix this, so he had one of our teams come out and power wash the driveway so that they could begin repairs on a clean surface. The team utilized SealantPro to protect the concrete's surface from further damage from pitting and flaking, then they used NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints of the concrete from expanding further.
The homeowner is so happy that his driveway was fixed and he thinks it looks great. Check out his sealed and protected concrete!
Wall Failure Fixed in Omaha, NE
This homeowner had been struggling for many years with her basement walls. They started to fall apart and she was worried that she would need to replace the entire foundation. After a while, her church stepped in and decided they would help her finance getting her walls professionally fixed, so they gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Neil Kwiatkowski to inspect the walls and come up with a solution that would stabilize the homeowner's failing walls. Neil found that the shelf walls that had been holding up the foundation were being supported by 4 sheets of ply wood, and that many of them had already crumbled. Our team knew just what to do and they got to work installing the EverBrace System. This system works to stabilizes a foundation wall.
The homeowner was very thankful for all of the work that was done and she was really impressed with the results. Check out her new EverBrace System!
Sump Pump Replacement in Kansas City, MO
This homeowner struggled with water in his basement for a while, however the problem came to light because he has a roommate moving into his basement. He needed to have the space for his roommate to live without worrying about water problems, so he gave us a call for a free estimate.
We sent System Design Specialist Dillon Gubbels to inspect the basement and determine where the water was coming from. Dillon found that water was seeping in through the floor and there was no drainage system for the water to escape out of. When he found this problem, Dillon talked to the homeowner about fully waterproofing the basement, however the homeowner preferred to fix the immediate problem for now, and consider the full waterproofing at a later time. Our team installed a SuperSump+ in order to pump water out of the basement so that the homeowner would not need to worry about water pooling in his basement.
The homeowner was very happy with the process and he felt as though the crew was very helpful to him. Check out his new sump pump!
