Job Stories

Donna from Corinth MS called Redeemers group after seeing our advertisement on television. She was noticing that her exterior driveway slabs, and her interior family room slabs were settling and cracking. Alex, our project design specialist, went out to her home to provide Donna with a free on-site estimate for repairs. Our installation team lifted and leveled the settling concrete slabs with our product PolyLevel, which will eliminate any trip and fall hazards, and any pooling water issues. They sealed the joints and cracks in the concrete with our prouct NexusPro.

Cynthia P. of Corinth, MS noticed exterior cracks in the bricks of her home.  This was a real problem because she intends to sell the home and wants to make sure that the property value is intact.  She wants to do some cosmetic repairs and renovations but needs to have a stable foundation first.  She called Redeemers Group. Antonio, one of our foundation specialists, went out to Corinth to assess the issue.  After a thorough inspection, he was able to pinpoint all the trouble areas and the causes of the settlement.  He designed a permanent solution that would not only address these problems, but also meet Cynthia’s needs of returning a profit on the sale of the home. The project started with Tip, one of our foundation experts.  He and his crew attacked the foundation issue using our Helical Pier system.  These helical piers are driven down into the earth as to not disturb the soil and cause more issues.  The foundation is then attached to the piers using a special bracketing system.  Finally, pressure is added to the system to lift and stabilize the foundation. After Tip’s crew finished, it was time for Brennan and crew.  They would use our PolyLevelTM to backfill any voids left after lifting the foundation.  This would stop any future soil issues that could affect the foundation.  They would also address the sinking concrete porch in the back of the house.  The porch was sinking and pulling away from the rest of the house.  With our PolyLevelTM System, we were able to lift the porch back into place and ensure that it was level. This house is now permanently stable.  Cynthia has the peace of mind that she deserves knowing that she can list her house at full market value.   

Gabriel and Emily of Corinth, MS recently moved into their home and quickly discovered structural concerns beneath their floors. During a routine plumbing and flooring repair, they noticed a large hole in the crawlspace, posing a serious risk to the main support beam. The existing support columns on either side of the hole were in danger of shifting, which could lead to significant floor damage or collapse. Additionally, moisture buildup and mold growth under the home raised concerns about long-term structural integrity and air quality. To prevent further deterioration and costly repairs in the future, encapsulation was recommended as a necessary solution. To address these issues, the repair plan involved installing two SmartJacks™ and a 10-foot beam to reinforce the main structure. The sinkhole beneath the home was filled with white rock, along with existing bricks and concrete blocks found in the crawlspace. Old support pillars in the affected area were removed to ensure stability. Before encapsulation could begin, Gabriel and Emily were advised to remove obstructive ductwork that was limiting access to key areas. Once cleared, insulation and moisture barriers would be installed to seal the space, preventing future mold and wood rot. SilverGlo™ insulation was applied only to the remaining exposed crawlspace walls, while the sump pump was strategically placed for optimal drainage control. With these repairs completed, Gabriel and Emily’s home is now protected from foundation failure and moisture-related damage. They no longer have to worry about costly structural repairs or persistent mold issues in the future.

Structural Issues in a Historic 1904 Corinth Residence Miss Lisa G.’s beautiful 1904 home in downtown Corinth, MS, began showing signs of structural distress. Rotten support posts and a settling main beam caused the interior walls to sag, leading to shifting transom windows and uneven floors throughout the 954-square-foot crawlspace. The home’s age and craftsmanship made it particularly vulnerable—especially with true 2x10 joists spanning 15 feet and 2x6s spanning 8 feet in critical load areas. Without intervention, the continued settlement could have led to more severe structural movement, compromised safety, and further damage to the original glass windows. SmartJack Crawl Space Support System Provides Targeted Stabilization Redeemers Group’s foundation experts designed a customized solution using the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System to stabilize the failing structure. Due to limited clearance—just 12 inches from joist to floor in some areas—installation required precision and care. Technicians strategically placed SmartJacks beneath the sagging beam to lift and support the floors while avoiding excessive pressure that could crack the delicate glass above. The team achieved measurable improvement in floor stability and wall alignment without compromising the transom windows—exactly in line with the homeowner’s priorities. Preserving Historic Integrity Through Expert Foundation Repair By combining modern engineering with a respect for historic preservation, Redeemers Group successfully stabilized this early 20th-century home. The SmartJack system restored structural integrity, reduced floor sag, and prevented future settlement—all without altering the home’s historic character. This project demonstrates how Redeemers Group’s crawl space repair methods deliver durable results, even in challenging, shallow-access environments. If your historic home is showing signs of sagging floors or settling walls, contact Redeemers Group today for a free inspection and lasting foundation stabilization.

Stephanie C. had started noticing that her home was not getting cool in the summer or warm enough in the winter. Her and her husband had also noticed that there were critters coming out of nowhere. They figured that it was the crawl space and attempted to cover the area with materials from a home store. This fix was only temporary. Redeemers Group came in and offered the family a permanent solution to their crawl space issues. One of the main components of their waterproofing solution included the installation of a SuperSump Sump pump and IceGuard. Each one of these is essential and works together effectively to keep any basement or crawl space dry. The SuperSump pump system is specifically designed to handle the amount of water that a basement collects during heavy rains. It can pump 2220 gallons per hour at an 8-foot discharge head quietly and efficiently. There’s no doubt that Stephanie C. can now enjoy a dry, healthy basement and crawl space. Redeemers Group is pleased that we could solve Stephanie’s crawl space problems in Alamo, TN!

John C. of Booneville, MS inherited his family home 15 years ago and is now taking on the challenge of updating it—starting from the ground up. His first priority is transforming the basement into a usable space, with plans to build a staircase from the upper level and eventually use the area for storage. But before any improvements could begin, he needed to address a critical issue: water intrusion from every wall, pooling across the basement floor and threatening long-term damage. Our inspection revealed three walls below grade and one front-facing wall that was cracking due to external soil pressure. To permanently stabilize that wall, we proposed installing a PowerBrace system—an effective solution for reinforcing foundation walls showing signs of inward movement. For waterproofing, we designed a comprehensive system to capture and redirect water away from the basement, ensuring the space remains dry and ready for future renovations. A fireplace ledge in one corner of the basement remained dry and leak-free, so we ran a feed line around it to preserve its integrity while maintaining proper drainage across the rest of the area. With waterproofing in place, John’s next steps include constructing retaining walls and installing either sliding or double doors to finish off the basement entry. This project marks the beginning of a larger, phased renovation that will breathe new life into a home rich with family history. By starting with a stable, dry foundation, John is setting the stage for future upgrades that will add both comfort and value. Ready to reclaim your basement?

Mack from Dyersburg MS called Redeemers Group after receiving a postcard in the mail. He was noticing that some of the floors in his home, over his crawl space, were uneven, causing his crown molding to seperate from the ceiling. He set up an appointment to have our foundation specialist, Kurt, come out to his home and provide him with a free on-site estimate for repairs. Our installation team installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System in his crawl space, which restored stability and straightened his uneven floors.  

This customers pre-fabricated home was placed over a tough concrete slab. Unfortunately, over the years, while the slab did not crack, it did begin to shift and sink into the ground. This caused the slab to pull several inches away from the base of the prefabricated home's walls! How scary! This customer called a local concrete and foundation repair company for help. Redeemers Group sent a System Design Specialist to diagnose the problem and prescribe a cure. In this case, water had gotten under the concrete slab foundation and created voids and an unstable ground where the weight of the home was causing the slab to sink. Luckily, the concrete repair specialist had just the solution. We injected PolyLevel, an expandable wonder-foam that would fill the voids, left the slabs back into place AND bear the weight of the home. This is so important, because any old foam couldn't do the job. PolyLevel foam is special, and is created just for this purpose, so the customer would be on solid ground for as long, or longer, than the concrete slab actually lasted.

Christopher N. of Dyersburg, TN contacted us about a sinking concrete slab beneath his backyard shed. The foundation had begun to settle unevenly due to long-term soil erosion and animal burrowing beneath the structure. Over time, this compromised the stability of the shed and posed safety concerns. Having lived in the home for seven years—a place that once belonged to his late brother—Christopher wanted to protect the property and restore the shed’s foundation before the damage worsened. After assessing the site, we determined that PolyLevel™, a high-performance polyurethane foam, was the best solution for lifting and stabilizing the settled slab. We discussed the possibility of temporary damming around the shed's perimeter to contain the foam during injection. Knowing Christopher was in up in age, we offered to assist with rolling out his four-wheeler and motorcycle from the shed, while he cleared the remaining contents before our team arrived. The PolyLevel™ application was a success—raising the slab, closing gaps, and reinforcing the shed’s foundation without the mess of traditional concrete replacement. Christopher can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his shed is back on solid ground. If you’re experiencing similar foundation issues in Dyersburg or the surrounding area, contact us today to schedule a free inspection and learn how PolyLevel™ can restore your concrete slab quickly and effectively.

Problem: Settling Garage Slab and Water Intrusion Threatened Structural Stability Anne R. contacted our team to assess a sinking garage slab in Dyersburg, TN, where the concrete had settled and cracked in the back right corner. The garage, which had been added after the original home construction, sat on a complex concrete base with varying thickness—reaching over 12 inches at the rear. Compounding the issue, the home was positioned downslope from the street with a steep ravine behind it, creating natural drainage challenges. Our inspection identified a void beneath the garage slab, caused by water runoff traveling down the driveway and pooling near the structure. This ongoing erosion risk meant the slab could continue to settle if left untreated, making garage foundation stabilization and water management critical. Solution: PolyLevel Injection and Spee-D Drain Installation for Long-Term Protection To address the underlying issue, we recommended a targeted approach focused on void filling, slab stabilization, and improved drainage. While push piers were discussed for lifting the slab, the homeowner prioritized preventing further movement. Our team installed a Spee-D trench drain system across the driveway to capture and redirect water away from the garage, connecting it to a buried discharge line that carried runoff safely down the slope. Inside the garage, we used PolyLevel® foam injection to fill the void beneath the slab, stabilizing the concrete and achieving a modest lift. Cracks in the garage floor were sealed using professional-grade crack repair materials, ensuring a more uniform and reinforced surface. Why It Matters: Preventing Future Settlement with Proven Concrete Repair Methods This project highlights the importance of combining concrete leveling techniques with proper drainage solutions to prevent recurring structural issues. Without addressing the water intrusion, any lifting solution alone would have been temporary. By installing a drainage system and stabilizing the subgrade with PolyLevel, we helped reduce the risk of future settlement and extended the life of the garage slab. While some movement may still occur over time without pier support, the homeowner now has a significantly more stable and protected structure. Proactive repairs like these are essential for maintaining property value and avoiding costly structural damage down the line.
