The owners of this home in Richmond, KY, had built an addition to their home, and overtime, the additions foundation settled into the ground. Because the addition was on a seperate foundation from the main home, the settlement caused cracks to appear right where the two seperate foundations were connected. Home additions are prone to settling for the simple fact that they are usually built on separate foundations from the main home. This footing of this addition's foundation was also pretty shallow and too close to the frost-line, which can cause frost-heave to accelerate the sinking process. Whatever the reason, we stabilized the foundation by underpinning the footing with our helical pier system. We started by exposing the footing, then we drilled our piers straight down underneath it. We then attached the piers to the footing after we knew the piers had reached load-bearing strata for sure. At the end, we backfilled the trench with soil to conceal the system. This addition's foundation is now under warranty for the lifetime of the structure from settling.
This Richmond, KY homeowner reached out to us after noticing a persistent musty odor in their home and rising energy bills. Their crawl space, like many in the area, had a dirt floor and minimal protection from moisture, leaving the space damp and vulnerable to mold, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality.
Our inspection confirmed their concerns. The crawl space had high humidity levels, signs of water intrusion, and exposed insulation that was falling down.
To fix the problem for good, our team performed a full crawl space encapsulation. We installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier across the floor and walls to permanently separate the crawl space from the earth. Underneath, drainage matting allows water to drain properly toward a new SuperSump® pump system, keeping the area dry even during heavy rains.
We also insulated the walls with SilverGlo® rigid foam panels, helping to make the home more energy-efficient year-round. Finally, to control humidity and prevent mold growth, we installed a SaniDry Sedona™ dehumidifier, designed specifically for crawl spaces.
Thanks to these improvements, this homeowner now has a clean, dry, healthy crawl space — and peace of mind knowing their home is protected from the ground up.
