Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Greensboro home was showing serious foundation symptoms, including a visibly leaning wall, cracks in the brick exterior, and settlement caused by unstable soil beneath the foundation. These issues not only impacted the home’s appearance but also threatened its structural safety.

To permanently stabilize the foundation, our team installed Helical Piers. These steel piers are hydraulically advanced deep into stable soil layers, creating a secure support system that lifts and holds the home in place. By transferring the weight of the structure from weak surface soils to stronger, load-bearing strata below, the foundation is now reinforced, the leaning wall has been corrected, and the home is protected from further settlement.

Water was leaking into this basement at the wall/floor joint. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement to collect water and direct it to the sump pump to be removed from the basement. This eliminates the possibility of this customers basement from ever having to deal with a wet basement again. 

In the event this water heater ever leaks, our TrenchDrain system will capture the water and redirect it to the interior drainage system to be pumped out of the basement via discharge line. 

This Greensboro basement showed serious foundation symptoms, including crumbling block along the base, horizontal cracks, and signs of water intrusion that weakened the wall. Left unaddressed, this type of damage can lead to dangerous bowing and further structural failure.

To fix the problem, our team installed a series of GeoLock Wall Anchors. These anchors work by connecting heavy-duty steel plates inside the basement to anchor plates buried in stable soil outside. A steel rod ties them together, and by tightening the system, the wall is immediately stabilized and can even be straightened over time. This non-invasive solution permanently halts further movement, reinforces the foundation, and protects the home for years to come.

This Greensboro, NC crawl space was experiencing multiple issues that put the home’s stability and air quality at risk. The original crawl space had torn, ineffective plastic lining, failing insulation, and makeshift block supports that were no longer providing reliable structural strength. Symptoms included musty odors, high moisture levels, and sagging floor joists caused by inadequate support and poor moisture control.

To solve these problems, our team installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to permanently stabilize the floor system and prevent further sagging. We also encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, creating a sealed environment that blocks out ground moisture, reduces humidity, and protects the home from mold, pests, and structural damage.

With SmartJacks and CleanSpace in place, this Greensboro crawl space is now dry, stable, and energy-efficient giving the homeowner a healthier and more secure foundation.
