Sagging Floors and Crawl Space Settlement on the North Side of the Home Antonio “Tony” needed crawl space structural repairs after the north side of his Brookland, AR home had settled and caused noticeable floor sagging. He had purchased the home two years earlier and planned to stay long-term, so getting the floors back to relative level mattered for comfort, peace of mind, and protecting the home’s property value. During the crawl space inspection, the floor joist system showed signs of high moisture, but the wood still had good overall stability, with only two small areas recommended for wood repair near the back door area and the northwest corner of the home. SmartJack Crawl Space Support System Installed for Corrective Lift To address the settling floors, the Redeemers Group team installed a SmartJack crawl space support system along the north side of the home, extending from the northwest corner back toward the area behind the garage. The repair included approximately 40 feet of supplemental beam and eight SmartJacks to help lift and stabilize the sagging floor system. Four additional SmartJacks were also installed directly beneath the main east-to-west beam in the middle of the crawl space where settlement had occurred between the existing pillars. Before installation, Tony was advised to have copper plumbing lines moved for proper clearance so the supplemental beam could be installed correctly. Why SmartJacks and Moisture Protection Mattered for Long-Term Crawl Space Repair This crawl space repair was important because sagging floor joists and settling support beams typically worsen when structural support and crawl space moisture are not addressed. The crew dug the required 2-foot by 2-foot by 2-foot SmartJack footings, followed the engineered project design, and completed multiple walkthroughs with Tony throughout the installation. The SmartJack system successfully provided lift and stabilization, and Tony was impressed by the improvement in his floors and the added stability for his home. While moisture protection options such as crawl space encapsulation and LumberKote were recommended to help protect the wood long-term, Tony chose to complete the structural repair first and planned to revisit moisture control within the next year or two. Call Redeemers Group for Crawl Space Repair in Brookland, AR If your floors are sagging, uneven, or settling, your crawl space may need structural support before the problem gets worse. Contact Redeemers Group today to schedule a crawl space inspection and learn whether SmartJacks, supplemental beams, wood repair, or crawl space moisture control are the right solution for your home.

James and his family have a wonderful pool in their backyard. The pool deck slab on the right side of the pool steps settled away from the pool with lippage of over 1" with adjoining slab. There are three pool deck slabs settled away from the pool on north end of the pool, left of the pool step. However, he noticed that there were cracks and uneven concrete surrounding their pool. James called Redeemers Group and we were able to find the perfect solution. To resolve this issue, we installed the PolyLevel® system which uses high-density polyurethane expanding foam to raise settled concrete foundations and slabs. The state-of-the-art polymer injection is a fast-acting, affordable alternative to mudjacking and concrete slab replacement. Installers use specially-designed equipment to inject structural-grade polymer into penny-sized holes bored in the slab. After the void underneath the concrete slab is filled, the expanding foam will lift and level the slab. PolyLevel® is a quick-curing solution and the polymer is waterproof and will never wash away. James and his family are now able to enjoy their pool without any uneven concrete. 

Bo M. had noticed that the foundation of his home was unstable. He tried to work on these issues on his own, but these solutions were only temporary. Redeemers Group was happy to help Bo secure his home’s foundation. In order to resolve this issue, Redeemers Group installed our push pier system. When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure must sink downwards into the ground. This is true with homes, concrete floors, chimneys, and many other structures. 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. Once this was completed; Bo’s home was foundation problem free. We are thrilled that we could help Bo and his family.

Eric F. of Paragould, AR has enjoyed over 20 years in his home, and while the concrete had held up well, subtle signs of settling began to appear. Uneven slabs had developed in two spots on the driveway, one section of the sidewalk, and a portion of the pool deck. The most severe issue was at the entrance of a detached garage, where significant settling created a gap large enough that Eric temporarily filled it with a brick. Wanting to preserve the value of his home and ensure safety, he chose to take action before things worsened. Our team implemented a targeted lift-and-seal solution, raising the affected concrete sections to restore smooth, even surfaces. While Eric opted not to proceed with the full 2-Part Concrete Protection System, he agreed to have all cracks and joints sealed across the driveway, sidewalk, and pool deck—ensuring that moisture stays out and the surfaces remain protected. Prior to the installation, Eric removed the temporary brick at the garage threshold so we could properly address the void and realign the slab. The completed work delivered lasting stability, improved safety, and greater curb appeal—all without unnecessary expense. With his concrete now secure and sealed, Eric can enjoy his property with renewed confidence. If you're noticing uneven slabs or cracking concrete, contact us today for a free estimate and see how simple, cost-effective solutions can restore peace of mind.

Mold had been growing in the crawl space for some time before the homeowner caught on. She was tipped off by nasty smells and sinking floors; this meant that the humidity had gotten high enough in the crawl space that the wood had started to rot away! Luckily a local waterproofing and crawl space company, Redeemers Group, was able to come and take a look at her crawl space. The System Design Specialist braved the dark and dank foundation to find that, yes, the humidity was much higher than it should be, and the water content in the wood was much much too high. The wood had begun to rotm and she required some of it to be replaced and the crawl space needed to be encapsulated to make sure the newly replaced wood would not meet the same fate as it's predecessor. Redeemers group replaced the wood where needed, fogged the mold to kill any existing mold in the crawl space, and installed clean space to fully encapsulate the crawl space and make sure the humidity stayed under contrrol for decades to come!

Janice M. had noticed that the foundation of her home was unstable. The crack on the outside of her home continued to grow. She hired other contractors over the years, but the foundation issue would not go away. Janice decided to give Redeemers Group a call to help with this issue. The first task that was completed was to install piers to support the foundation of the home. When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure must sink downwards into the ground. This is true with homes, concrete floors, chimneys, and many other structures. 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.  Once this was completed; Janice's home was foundation problem free. We are thrilled that we could help Janice and her family.

AnnCorinne and Gilbert L. have called their Cleveland, MS home their own for over 20 years. When they attempted to sell it a year and a half ago, an inspection revealed rot in the crawlspace—a discovery that caused the sale to fall through. Determined to resolve the issue before making further renovations like new flooring, the couple prioritized structural repair to ensure their home would be safe, stable, and ready for future updates. During the inspection, parts of the crawlspace were inaccessible due to plumbing obstructions beneath the kitchen. However, it was evident that the rim band in that area, as well as beneath the master bathroom, was deteriorating. While the rest of the crawlspace remained in good shape with no major mold or wood damage, we recommended a focused repair: 24 feet of rim band replacement and joist sistering along the affected span. The plan was designed to correct existing damage while remaining flexible in case the full extent of joist reinforcement wasn't necessary. With careful planning, AnnCorinne and Gilbert were informed that their kitchen cabinets and bathtub would need to be removed to complete the job properly. By taking this proactive step, they are securing their home’s foundation and creating a safe, stable base for future remodeling. This repair marks the beginning of a thoughtful and well-structured home improvement journey. Facing Structural Issues?
