Before Crawl Space and Foundation Repair:
Visible Cracking
After putting off repairs for several years, Greensboro homeowners knew they couldn’t ignore glaring problems any longer. Along with a settling corner and crooked and cracked chimney, they could tell a section of their first floor was sagging and uneven.
Nasty Crawl Space Conditions
The owners were also aware of dirty and humid conditions in the crawl space beneath their home.
Concerned with their home’s health and safety, the owners were ready to nip these problems in the bud once and for all. They knew they could count on Groundworks Companies like Tar Heel Basement Systems for lasting repair solutions.
After Crawl Space and Foundation Repair:
Waterproofing and Encapsulation
After his thorough evaluation, an inspector recommended solutions customized to meet the homeowners’ repair needs and goals. Two installation crews completed three projects within five days.
First, one crew completely transformed the crawl space with encapsulation installations, including waterproofing solutions, a dehumidifier, and a vapor barrier.
Floor Stabilization
The crew also stabilized the crawl space floor joists and the above floor with crawl space support jacks.
Once the crawl space tasks were completed, another crew installed push piers underneath a settling corner and chimney that was pulling away from the house.
Seeing the Positive Effects
The homeowners were glad they finally tackled these essential repairs so they no longer have to worry about structural concerns or health issues. Working with their trusted local Groundworks Company made the process much easier on the homeowners with constant communication and support every step of the way. The owners were very pleased with the outcome and especially with how easy it was to get along with the installation teams while they were working on the property. They praised the crews’ courtesy, attention to detail, and efficiency.

If you need foundation work done, do yourself a favor and request Jay Yount at Tar Heel Basements. I had several companies come out, and Jay was the only one who approached my sagging floor issues with real expertise and a no-nonsense attitude.

Tar Heel basement systems goes over and beyond their obligations to satisfy their customers even several years past. They came out and retaped some of the seams in the vapor barrier and cleaned the barrier where some water had pooled. I highly recommend them and their service technician (Jacob ) went over and beyond his duties to satisfy me as a customer. He readjusted my dehumidifier to the proper settings. Get them to help you! You won’t regret it! Superior service!

Foundation settlement can be a serious concern, as it may lead to significant structural damage if not addressed promptly. How serious? That depends on factors like how long the issues have been going on. Neglecting foundation issues results in visible structural damage and potential safety risks for the home’s occupants.
