Before & After Photos

This crawlspace was caving in from the roof because the beams that held it up were sinking into the ground over time. SmartJacks apply strength to the crawlspace and are special because they can be adjusted over time in case the crawlspace sinks even more. 

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 homeowner had a sidewalk in front of their home that was sinking into the ground. We used a Polylevel injection system to raise the concrete sidewalk for the homeowner. In the After photo, there is no longer a space between the step and the sidewalk, and you can also see that the corner of the sidewalk is no longer flush with the ground, and has been lifted up to the correct height. 

A house in Lexington, Kentucky, had a wall in the basement that was bowing. The homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky to find a solution to this problem. After meeting with a Certified Inspector, the homeowner decided to have the PowerBrace System installed to support the walls. A PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is secured tightly against the wall and attached to the floor and floor joists. There is an adjustable bracket at the top that can be tightened over time. This gradual tightening over time may be able to reverse the wall failure. 

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.
