Lucy S. had noticed cracked foundation and doors and windows that were not closing. Lucy tried to search for solutions to this problem, but nothing seemed to work. Redeemers Group was more than happy to help her and her family resolve this issue. To solve their foundation settlement issue, Redeemers Group installed slab piers and performed a lift procedure on the home. Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position. Now, Lucy will be able to enjoy her home knowing that their foundation issues are repaired.

Tim J. and his family had noticed that the floor was sagging in their home. The home had never had issues like this before. Tim decided to call Redeemers Group to diagnose the issue. The major components of the solution is to stabilize sagging floors by using the SmartJack® system. The system supports loads of more than 60,000lbs. The SmartJack® system provides solid support for sagging and undersize beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack® supports can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level level door frames. We were more than happy to help this family with their sinking floor problem. 

Our System Design Specialists are the first part of our team to meet with customers and actually see the problems they are facing. They get one on one interaction with the clients and the home. For any crawlspace inspection, the inspector must actually crawl into the crawlspace under the home. This is done to insure a thorough inspection has been completed. It’s not every day that they find visitors under the house, but lately that’s exactly what’s been happening!! They haven’t been the only ones under the homes anymore!! Just this week Wes Cordell was inspecting a crawlspace when a friendly goat appeared out of nowhere!! The goat was super friendly and supplied quite a bit of companionship during the inspection.  We love all types of animals here at Redeemers Group, especially when they surprise us at job sites!!

Every time it rained, water filled this crawl space to the point that it flooded the access point (pictured)This homeowner had finally had enough! She stopped ignoring her problem and reached out a local crawl space expert, Redeemers Group.   Redeemers Group had been serving the Paragould area locally for 14 years! We had never come cross a flooding crawl space we couldn't help. This homeowner's crawl space was no different.Redeemers Group bilged (drained) the flooded crawl space with expert care. Once we had removed the excess rainwater, we got to work completely replacing the rotted wood joisting framing the crawl space, and even added a supplemental beam to help with the over-spanned (over worked) areas under the home. Where the wood was still in good condition, but there was sinking due to the muck and mud from the water, we install Smart Jacks, a super stron support jack system, to hold up the floors and secure the foundation.Then, to deal with water coming in from rain, we installed a drainage system, that was our sump pump would vacuum up any water that got into the crawl space, and the drainage line would zip it away out and away from the home. Thanks to the work of our teams, this customer's crawl space woes were solved for good!

Do you have a very shallow crawl space? Is that stopping you from addressing your problems?  Think again.  Ethan S. or Paragould, AR had crawl space moisture problems.  The excess moisture did a great deal of damage to the joists as well as the subfloors.  Ethan knew he needed to replace all the rotted and broken wood, but also wanted to address the moisture problems to be sure that this wouldn't cause any trouble in the future.  He was concerned about the accessibility in the crawl space because there wasn't a lot of room under the house.  He decided to call Redeemers Group. As you can see in the picture, the height of the crawl space was no issue for the crew.  This is crawl space expert Brian installing our CleanSpaceTM barrier and wrapping the concrete piers.  This barrier stops water from permeating the walls and ground beneath the home.  It also makes for a clean crawl space, keeping out insects and critters.  The CleanSpaceTM vapor barrier is only one part of the crawl space encapsulation system that we installed for Evan.  We also installed our SmartSumpTM to keep potential water out of the crawl space.  Our SaniDryTM Sedona dehumidifier eliminates musty odors in the crawl space by drying and filtering the air. This is designed to be a permanent solution for the crawl space, and Even can be worry free about the new wood under his home.  He will also enjoy cleaner breathing air inside his home.  No matter the size of your crawl space, Redeemers Group will make every effort to design a permanent solution that is clean, healthy, and safe for your home.  Of you need help in your tight crawl space, basement, or need foundation repair; call or click today for a free, no-obligation inspection!

Stephen and Shelly C. of Lakeland, TN have been noticing drywall cracks inside the home for many years.  They also started to appear in the exterior brick outside.  This was a problem because they wanted to repaint and refresh the home now that their kids had moved out.  They knew that foundation settlement could be the issue, so they called Redeemers Group. Foundation specialist Cam went out to Lakeland to inspect the home.  He discovered what Stephen had suspected; the foundation was settling.  Cam was able to design a permanent solution for the home that would include our push pier system as well as our PolyLevelTM concrete injection system. Now, typically people think of the concrete poly injections as a solution for exterior concrete.  This is correct for the most part.  But PolyLevelTM is often used in conjunction with piers. Lifting a house back to its original position can leave voids in the soil beneath.  PolyLevelTM is used to backfill those voids to be sure that no other settlement issues arise.   Foundation expert Chet and his crew were tasked with completing this project.  They removed the landscaping to dig the holes.  This was tricky because there were irrigation lines running where they needed to dig. They were able to move these lines, install the piers, and get the irrigation set back into place.  Piers were placed around the front and the east side of the house, around to the back.  There was no way to get any heavy equipment to the back of the house without causing damage to the landscaping, so those holes were dug out by hand. After the piers were set and pressurized, it was time for concrete expert Dalton and his crew to backfill with the PolyLevelTM injection.  They used great care to insure minimal damage to the interior floors.  After these injections, the house was fully, and permanently stable.  Mr. and Mrs. C. are very pleased with the results. They can now carry on with their home updates without worry.  They even left a 5 star rating and glowing review of the process and the crew!  

Carroll T. had noticed that the crawl space of her home was moist and she was worried that the moisture would affect her home. Redeemers Group came in and offered Carroll and her family a great solution to their crawl space issues. One of the main components of the crawl space solution included the installation of the SuperSump® sump pump and the CleanSpace®   System. Both systems are essential to keeping any basement or crawlspace 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. The CleanSpace® System separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.  With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-milpoly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace® will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. Another part of the solution is to dehumidify the basement ® and the BrightWall® system. BrightWall® is a 100% waterproof rigid plastic paneling for unfinished basement walls. It's durable, washable, and will not support the growth of mold or rot. Installed along with our BrightPost™ padded column wrap, it transforms your basement into a bright, beautiful space for decades to come! We are glad that we could help Carroll T. enjoy a dry, healthy crawl space. Redeemers Group is pleased that we could solve Carroll’s crawl space problems in Ashland, MS.

We were called out to this Eads, Tennessee home that is being prepped to be put on the market. The realtor had told the homeowner that the sunken driveway was going to be a big detractor for interested buyers that would perceive that the entire circle driveway would have to be replaced. She estimated that buyers would devalue the home as much as $10,000 because of it. Therefore, it was a no brainer for the homeowner to have us lift the parts of the driveway that had sunken down.  There were multiple places that the driveway was sinking significantly. One challenge with this drive was the decorative brick spacers between each concrete slab. Our team leader was able to bring the concrete slabs back to level as shown in the photos. The homeowner did not ask us to level the decorative brick spacers. Concrete lifting is meant for concrete only, and not decorative brick. Interestingly enough, some areas of the brick also achieved lift back to level. The homeowner planned to remove the brick, pressure wash it, pack dirt down under it, and relay the brick to be level with the restored driveway. (This is why the decorative brick appears to be still sunken down in the photos).

This customer had a very flooded crawl space. In fact, the first day out on the job had to be spent completely pumping out the water! We removed the water, then returned to install a full drainage system to move water out from the crawl space and far out away from the home. This all begins with the sump pump that pulls water that enters the crawl space into a drainage line that forces the water way out into the yard and away from the home where, if left unchecked, would do major damage to the house over time.Luckily this customer called us to solve the flooding before things got out of control. Have you called your local waterproofing and foundation experts to help you? Don't wait, flooded crawl spaces will only get worse with time!

This homeowner noticed a small crack in his garage when he first moved in three years ago. His home was newly built, so he figured it was due to settling, and everyone told him that it was normal and "houses settle all the time, even newly-built homes."But, as the snow and rains came and went, he notice the crack getting bigger, and now new ones were appearing.He did the smart thing, and called his local concrete repair company and asked us to take a look. Our System Design Specialist came out and correctly diagnosed the issue: water was seeping under his concrete slab and causing voids to form, which in turn was leading to his concrete sinking and cracking.   Luckily, he had called in time; Redeemers Group was able to stabilize the garage slab by injecting a proprietary polymer foam. Once the slab was stabilized, we sealed the joints to close the crack AND to make sure no more water got in and disrupted the soil beneath the slab. The homeowner was so grateful, he went on to trust the concrete experts, and asked for preventative sealing of all his existing concrete to ensure he never had to deal with cracking or settling again!
