Certainly! The causative form, using "have something done," is used to indicate that someone else is performing an action for the subject. Here are sentences using the causative form for each of the given situations:

1. The Smiths had their house renovated. - This sentence indicates that the Smiths arranged for someone else to renovate their house.

2. I take care of my car. I have it serviced every half a year. - In this example, the speaker arranges for someone else to service their car every six months.

3. That tooth is giving you a lot of trouble. You should have it taken out. - Here, the suggestion is for the person to have someone (likely a dentist) take out the troublesome tooth.

4. The house was damp, so last winter we had the central heating installed. - In this case, the action of installing the central heating was performed by someone else at the request of the speaker, likely to address the dampness issue in the house.
