Local Basement & Crawl Space Contractor in Myrtle, MS

John M. of Myrtle, MS had been dealing with recurring floor settlement issues along a hallway in his home, despite having support work done a few years earlier. While temporary fixes had been attempted, the floor continued to sag, prompting John to seek a long-term, reliable solution. Having previously trusted Redeemers Group to install push piers on the corner of his home—a project he and his wife were extremely satisfied with—he reached out again for expert guidance.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified that the previous contractors had altered the original structural supports by replacing columns with block columns and a 6x6 beam. Unfortunately, these makeshift supports had begun settling, contributing to the ongoing issues. To permanently resolve the problem, we proposed removing the inadequate supports and installing eight SmartJacks and 55 feet of steel supplemental beam beneath the central beam of the home. Additionally, another five SmartJacks and 40 feet of steel beam were needed to stabilize the west-side beam supporting the master bedroom, bathroom, and living room. John asked us to remove the old material from the crawlspace so he could dispose of it himself.

During the inspection, we also found high mold concentrations at the front of the crawlspace and recommended LumberKoat to protect and preserve the wooden framing. While there were signs of settlement near the back door and foundation wall, and we recommended five push piers with angle iron for reinforcement, John opted to hold off on pier installation for now, considering reframing the door himself. If your floors are sinking or sagging despite past repairs, don’t settle for short-term fixes. Contact Redeemers Group today to schedule a professional foundation inspection and protect your home from further damage.

John M. of Myrtle, MS and his wife were having concerns regarding their home. The back corner of the home has cracked and settled.  They are the original owners of the home. They’ve lived here for more than 20 years and have no plans to move. This is their forever home. Their back porch was also sinking.  They spend a lot of time on their porch and to keep enjoying the view from that porch, they needed to get this resolved.  They tried to have this addressed about 10 years ago, but the company they contracted with installed inferior products.  The problem remained and that company went out of business.

We designed a solution that will permanently stabilize both their back porch and their home.  First, we used our PolyLevel® Concrete Injection System to lift and level the porch.  We also sealed all joints and cracks with our NexusPro® Sealant.  We used our push pier system to address the foundation settlement happening with the house.  Our push piers are driven deep into the earth until they meet what is called load bearing strata.  This is the point in which the piers can go no further and rest on this stable soil.  They are attached to the house and pressurized, pushing against the load bearing strata until the house begins to lift.  This is will permanently stabilize their home and ensure that no further settlement will occur in that area.

John and his wife are very pleased with the results, stating: “Chet, Brian, Mike & Randy were very knowledgeable about their work and worked well together. They were very respectful and included us in decisions. We would highly recommend this company for your needs.”  We are thrilled to have given them the peace of mind of knowing that their home is stable, and they can enjoy their back porch forever.
