Leading Foundation & Concrete Repair Experts in Hot Springs National Park, AR

Doug E. of Hot Springs National Park reached out to us seeking additional stability for his home and a long-term solution to prevent mold and wood rot. Although the structure had not experienced significant settlement, Doug was proactive and wanted peace of mind before any issues could arise. His main concern was protecting the crawlspace, and he expressed immediate interest in applying a mold and rot prevention product to preserve the integrity of the home’s wooden supports.

Upon inspection, our team found the crawlspace walls were constructed of plywood, a material particularly susceptible to moisture-related damage over time. The layout of the crawlspace offered ample working room near the north side, but clearance became much tighter toward the south end, narrowing to just 15 inches at its most restricted point. Despite these spatial challenges, we confirmed that conditions were suitable for applying LumberKote, our trusted wood protection product designed to seal and safeguard against fungal growth and decay.

Doug chose to move forward right away with the LumberKote application to proactively protect his home’s crawlspace. While he is holding off on the SmartJack® stabilization system for now, he plans to monitor his home through the coming winter and reassess if structural reinforcement is needed. If you're looking to protect your home from mold, rot, and future damage—whether it's for peace of mind or preventive care—contact us today to schedule your crawlspace evaluation and get ahead of potential problems.

Doug E. of Hot Springs National Park, AR reached out to us looking for greater peace of mind regarding the stability and health of his home’s crawlspace. While the house hadn’t experienced significant foundation settlement, Doug and his family wanted to take proactive measures to protect their investment. In addition to structural concerns, they were particularly interested in mold and rot prevention, especially with colder, damper seasons on the horizon.

During our inspection, we found that the crawlspace walls were constructed from plywood and that the structure, while currently stable, could benefit from future support to reinforce its long-term durability. The space offered good working clearance on the north end, but gradually tightened toward the south side, with the narrowest section measuring about 15 inches. Given the layout and Doug’s forward-thinking mindset, we recommended installing SmartJacks at a later time—after observing how the house reacts over the next winter. In the meantime, the family was eager to move forward immediately with LumberKote, a protective coating designed to combat mold, mildew, and wood rot in crawlspaces.

Doug chose to proceed with the LumberKote application as the first step toward safeguarding his home’s structure. With the product applied throughout the crawlspace, the wood surfaces are now sealed against moisture intrusion, fungal growth, and deterioration. The homeowners paid by check and plan to complete final payment the same way, showing their commitment to this preventative upgrade. This thoughtful investment ensures the home is protected from rot-related issues, laying the groundwork for future structural improvements.

Comprehensive Concrete Lifting and Crack Sealing to Prevent Future Damage

Phillip R. of Hot Springs National Park, AR reached out to us with concerns about his lakeside walkway and retaining wall. The upper retaining wall, which sits directly on top of the concrete walkway, had developed significant cracks and noticeable settlement. Compounding the issue, the walkway itself rested atop a larger retaining wall—creating a multi-layered structure vulnerable to shifting and deterioration. Years of exposure to moisture and fluctuating ground conditions had caused widespread cracking, raising both aesthetic and safety concerns.

To address these issues, we removed all deteriorated wooden joints and replaced them with durable NexusPro® joint sealant, designed to provide long-lasting flexibility and water resistance. We also identified two major concrete slabs that had settled unevenly and carefully lifted them to restore a level walking surface. Every visible crack throughout the structure was thoroughly sealed to prevent further water infiltration and future damage. Although we explained that lifting certain areas might prove challenging depending on subsurface conditions, the customer appreciated our transparent approach and elected to proceed with a full, 3-part Concrete Protection System.

Safety was a top priority for Phillip, especially given the walkway’s proximity to the lake. We emphasized that when wet, the sloped concrete could pose a slipping hazard—potentially leading to dangerous falls into the water. By choosing a comprehensive repair, Phillip significantly reduced this risk while also enhancing the structural integrity and visual appeal of his property. If your retaining wall or walkway is showing signs of settlement or cracking, don’t wait—contact us today for a free inspection and expert concrete repair in Hot Springs National Park and surrounding areas.
