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!

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!

Kenneth B. and his family noticed that water would always stay long after the rain was gone. Their drainage system was failing and it was affecting their home's foundation. Kenneth gave Redeemers Group a call and we were able to come out to the property and provide a great solution to this issue. Redeeemers Group was able to come in and install our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system. This system is an innovative interior perimeter drainage channel designed to effectively solve basement water problems. Unlike traditional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard piping won't clog with silt or plant roots. In fact, the WaterGuard basement drainage system includes a 20-year warranty against clogs. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the TripleSafe or another sump pump. We also installed the SuperSump pump system which 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. Now, Kenneth and his family are able to enjoy their home without a flooded garage and driveway.
