Before & After Photos

This Erlanger, KY basement had old, ineffective braces that were no longer holding back a visibly bowing wall - you can see the lean just to the right of the door frame in the before photo. Our crew removed the outdated supports and replaced them with our PowerBrace system, which uses heavy-duty steel beams anchored to the floor and joists to permanently stabilize and to potentially straighten the wall out over time. You may also noticed we wrapped the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, giving the basement a clean, bright appearance while sealing out moisture behind the bracing system. What was once a failing, visibly bowed wall is now straight, secure, and protected with a modern system built to last.

This sunroom had settled away from the rest of the home causing gaps, cracks, and other problems for the room. We stabilized this room by installing nine push piers around the perimeter of it. The push piers will ensure that this room stops settling. We installed three of the push piers on the left side of the room through the concrete patio. We then covered the patio with concrete, concealing the piers completely.

This chimney was starting to tilt away from the home, leaving the sealant between the chimney and the home compromised. If left unattended, the chimney could become damaged beyond repair. Luckily, the homeowner gave us a call so we could fix it with our peer underpinning system right away. Now, the chimney is stabilized and lifted back to where it was originally built. The homeowner can now seal the chimney for good. 

This home had a horizontal crack in the foundation wall from settling issues. We used a helical pier system to stabilize and lift the foundation. If you look at the blue tape on the before picture, you can see the gap in the wall. In the after photo, you can see that the gap is gone.  

We underpinned the corner of this Covington, KY, home with our helical piers in order to stop the foundation from settling. In order to underpin the corner, we first had to expose the footer by excavating around the corner. We then drilled our screw shaped piers into load-bearing soil found deep in the earth. We then attached the ends of the piers to the footer by using our "L" shaped brackets. We then attempted to lift the foundation with our hydraulic system. We finished the job by backfilling the trench with the dug up soil.
