Before & After Photos

This poured foundation in Owenton, KY, was failing due to built up hydrostatic pressure. This pressure had caused the wall to move, and eventually crack. The crack would leak from time to time, and it was seemingly growing larger by the season. We ended up repairing the wall by securing it with a helical tieback system. By drilling rods laterally through the wall into the soil beyond the basement, and then securing the wall with anchor plates, we were able to stabilize the wall, preventing it from moving any further. This process then allowed us to seal the leaky crack with our FlexiSpan system. Our FlexiSpan system drains the leak down underneath the floor slab by the use of gravity. This sealing and wall repair system will keep this wall dry and secure.

This back patio slab in Lancaster, KY, had settled by a few inches. We raised the slab back up with our PolyLevel foam injections. You can see the difference in elevation by looking at the gap between the slab and the vinyl siding of the home. By leveling this slab back out and slightly pitching it away from the home, rain & water from the hot tub are now directed away from the foundation of the home. 

In Sadieville, KY, a homeowner faced the serious issue of their property sinking into the ground, especially at the corner of the home. This foundation settlement posed a risk to the structural integrity of the entire building. At The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky, we addressed the problem expertly and efficiently by installing our Helical Pier System. These engineered steel piers securely anchor into stable soil, stopping further settlement. We were also able to lift the foundation back towards its original position by using hydraulics, effectively closing the gap between the siding of the home and the foundation. With our solution, the home is now stable and secure once again.

This wall was shifting so much, almost reaching a catastrophic level. Luckily, the customer noticed the signs and called us to help install PowerBraces to hold this wall together.

We repaired this concrete porch in Richmond, KY, by lifting it and stabilizing it with two different combined solutions. The porch slab was pretty thick, and the footing was pretty deep, so we needed to send our piering crew out to ensure we could lift the porch back up with our helical piers. We then sent out our PolyLevel crew to fill the voids the piers left underneath the slab with our foam solution. You may notice our PolyLevel crew was also able to level out the stairs leading up to the front porch. They also sealed the crack in the sidewalk and the joint between the brick siding and the porch slab using our NexusPro sealant. The easiest way to notice how much we lifted the porch by is to look at the gap between the two concrete steps just beneath the front door in both the before and after picture. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and can get back to relaxing on the front porch with their cat.
