Before & After Photos

Basements, even partially finished ones, need to be protected from water problems. This Columbia, South Carolina basement in particular would experience water trickling into it periodically. This wouldn’t be a huge problem if the owners weren’t using the space for storage, which, of course, they were. The owners wanted a system that would both capture the water and remove it from the space entirely.

The perfect solution was to install our patented SuperSump pump and WaterGuard drain system. The WaterGuard collects the water out of sight and then deposits it into the SuperSump pump. Both systems are installed below the floor and then covered with cement. Only the lid and the pipes are visible on the SuperSump.

The installation of these products will insure that the basement no longer suffers from leaking water.

Crawlspaces, more often than not, have doors. Some don’t necessarily have the best doors in the world, but they do have them. It’s common. However, this Ridgeway, South Carolina home did not have a door.

It had exactly what you see here in the ‘before’ photo. The actual entrance was completely without a door. This gaping hole was an invitation to all critters and creepy crawlies to come on inside. On the other hand, it did have a wooden hatch. But, this hatch, just like wooden doors, was no good for a crawlspace. Because crawlspace entrances are low to the ground, they are hard to maintain. The ground is damp and that wood is liable to warp and rot straight away.

In the ‘after’ photo we’ve taken care of this problem. We’ve given this home one of our patented EverLast crawlspace doors. This door is made completely of inorganic material that is waterproof and resistant to mold growth. The EverLast door also has a heavy weatherseal strip to seal off outside air.

It still has the hatch, but now it is actually protected from the outside and sealed so that it doesn’t allow the air in to raise your heating and cooling bill.

Our crew installed push piers to support the foundation of this owner's home, located in Canon, GA.

Our crew installed a supplemental beam, and SmartJack supports to support the floor joist system. When installing SmartJacks with or without supplemental beams, the goal is to stabilize and stop further damage to the structure, not necessarily to level floors. 

This home in Franklin, NC had some major foundation issues on the back side of their home. There were several smaller cracks, but one huge one, which is shown in this before and after. These cracks were mainly due to foundation settlement and needed push piers in order to correct these cracks and for the home to have a sturdy foundation.

The "before" photo shows off shows this gap that was fixed using the push piers. As the tape measure shows, this gap was about an inch wide, which is pretty significant when referring to a crack in a home. This was already past the point of being an issue and needed to be taken care of sooner, rather than later.

The "after" photo shows how big of a difference the push piers that our crew installed, made. The gap was almost completely closed, and with a little mortar, the crack will completely disappear. These push piers do a great job in transforming a home and make it much safer for the homeowners to live in.
