Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Hillsborough home was experiencing sagging floors and structural instability due to unsupported floor joists in the crawl space. As shown in the "before" photo, there were signs of shifting and inadequate support including makeshift cinder blocks and exposed soil, which offered no long-term protection or reliability.

To permanently resolve the issue, our team installed a reliable SmartJack system. The "after" photo shows the secure galvanized steel jack anchored on a pre-engineered footing designed to lift and stabilize the floor system. Now, this homeowner can enjoy a level floor and lasting peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully supported.

This historic home in West Hillsborough, NC showed signs of structural concern in the crawl space, where existing support jacks had been identified as temporary and no longer adequate to properly support the home. The homeowner also experienced moisture issues during the summer months, raising concerns about long-term stability and crawl space conditions.

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing SmartJack support posts, a permanent solution designed to stabilize sagging floors and reinforce crawl space support beams. The SmartJacks were carefully positioned on solid footings and adjusted to provide reliable, long-term structural support beneath the home.

By replacing the temporary supports with engineered SmartJack systems, the crawl space is now better equipped to handle the home’s load, helping protect this older structure from further settlement and floor movement. This upgrade provides peace of mind and a strong foundation for future moisture-control improvements if needed.

This Sanford, NC home was experiencing foundation wall movement, visible through horizontal cracking along the block wall. Horizontal cracks are a common sign of pressure from surrounding soil pushing inward against the foundation. If left untreated, this type of movement can worsen over time, leading to bowing walls, structural instability, and costly repairs.

Our team installed structural reinforcement beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further inward movement. By addressing the issue early, we restored strength and stability to the foundation, helping protect the home’s structure and providing long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.

Due to open air flow and moisture from the ground, this crawl space was experiencing negative health effects. We cleared it out and sealed the entire area to keep moisture sealed off.

Seven years of sinking and shifting made the concrete around the home crack and depress. We lifted and restored the concrete with our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions.
