Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Boone, NC home was facing serious foundation settlement issues. The signs were clear sinking soils, cracks along the structure, and visible shifts in the foundation walls. These symptoms are common in mountain regions where unstable, moisture-heavy soils can no longer support a home’s weight.

To provide a permanent fix, our team installed a series of push piers. These steel piers are driven deep into stable bedrock, transferring the home’s weight away from failing soils and onto a solid foundation layer. Once secured, the piers not only stop further settlement but can also help lift the foundation back toward its original position.

This foundation repair system is the best solution for long-term stability in Boone’s challenging soil conditions, protecting the home from future structural damage and giving the homeowner peace of mind

During a home inspection for this Boone, NC property, multiple concerns were identified in the basement, including moisture issues and cracking along the foundation walls. To address structural instability and provide long-term support, our team installed the SmartJack Support System.

The SmartJack steel support posts are engineered to stabilize and reinforce sagging floor joists and beams. Each post is secured to a heavy-duty base and adjusted to provide strong, permanent support to the structure above. This system helps restore proper floor alignment while strengthening the home’s overall foundation system.

With the SmartJack system installed, the basement structure is now properly supported, helping protect the home from further settlement or structural movement while giving the new homeowners peace of mind as they move into their Boone property.

Years of water seepage had damaged the structure of these block walls and started to form cracks. We stabilized them by installing carbon fiber strips along the wall and holding it tight.

In this Morganton, NC home, our team completed a full crawlspace encapsulation system featuring a durable vapor barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SilverGlo wall insulation. The vapor barrier was installed to seal out ground moisture and protect against humidity and mold growth. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to actively control moisture levels and improve air quality throughout the home. To boost energy efficiency, SilverGlo insulation was installed along the crawlspace walls, helping maintain consistent temperatures year-round. This complete system creates a cleaner, drier, and healthier crawlspace for long-term protection.

Humidity, mold growth, and a ripping plastic covering was starting to create problems for this crawl space. It was only a matter of time before the thin plastic would fail and bring the home under code and cause problems such as mold growth from high humidity. We installed our CleanSapce vapor barrier which is designed to protect crawl spaces from moisture getting into the air, and it is extremely durable.
