  2. INTRODUCTION After a summer storm in Knoxville, you might notice only the heavy rain, distant thunder, and a few puddles in the yard. Yet home foundation contractors from Guardian Foundation Repair know that what happens beneath the surface can be far more concerning. Water-soaked soil pushes against foundation walls, humid air gathers in crawl spaces, and small cracks quietly expand as the ground shifts. Over time, these hidden stresses can weaken the very structure you rely on every day. In East Tennessee’s storm- heavy summers, damage can progress quickly without warning, making it essential to have experienced home foundation contractors ready to protect, repair, and safeguard your home.

  3. PROTECT AGAINST STORM DAMAGE 02 01 Keep Water Out: Basement Waterproofing Interior waterproofing removes water that enters and seals inside walls to block future leaks. Exterior waterproofing stops water at the source with drainage systems and protective coatings. Keep storms out with interior drains, sump pumps, and exterior sealing. Stops leaks, protects your belongings, and reduces stress on walls. 02 01 Seal Below: Crawl Space Encapsulation Moisture control uses vapor barriers and sealed vents to keep damp air and pests out. Climate protection adds dehumidifiers or sump pumps to maintain a dry, stable environment. Seal moisture out with vapor barriers, vent closures, and dehumidifiers. Prevents mold, pests, and structural damage below your home.

  4. PROTECT AGAINST STORM DAMAGE 02 01 Reinforce Walls: Basement Wall Repair Early-stage repairs use carbon fiber straps to strengthen walls with minimal disruption. Severe damage fixes use steel I-beams or tie-back anchors to restore alignment and stability. Fix cracks and bowing with carbon fiber straps, steel I- beams, or tie-back anchors. Reinforces walls and prevents further movement. 02 01 Control Flow: Drainage & Foundation Repair Water management uses downspout extensions, drains, and grading to keep water away from your foundation. Structural stabilization relies on piers and adjustable jacks to lift and secure sinking areas. Redirect water with downspout extensions, French drains, and grading. Use piers or jacks to lift and stabilize sinking foundations.
