Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This beautiful mountain home in Banner Elk, NC was experiencing settlement beneath its large stone fireplace and chimney a common issue when heavy structures sit on weak or poorly compacted soil. Our team uncovered the failing areas and installed durable helical piers beneath the foundation to permanently stabilize and support the weight of the chimney.

These photos show the excavation around the base, the installation of the pier brackets, and the home’s exterior where the chimney was beginning to shift. With the new helical piers in place, the fireplace is now fully supported, protected from future settlement, and secured for the long term.

This crawl space was completely unprotected and causing musty air and humidity issues in the home. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier sealed the entire area and solved these problems.

This troubled crawl space had standing water throughout, musty odors, and high humidity. Our crew gave it a brand new look with a CleanSpace encapsulation complete with a TipleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier, drainage matting, and a few other of our top-quality patented products. Water doesn't stand a chance against this crawl space now!

Our foundation pier system was installed to address foundation settlement issues, providing stability and support to the structure by transferring the load to more stable soil layers below.

Outside soil pressure can cause foundation walls to crack and bow inward. Our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system stabilizes these walls by installing steel I-beams that counteract the pressure, preventing further movement and potentially straightening the wall over time. The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system is designed to provide long-lasting support, often lasting for the lifetime of the structure when properly installed and maintained.
