Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement owner had a semi-finished basement that had received I-beams from a different structural contractor. These beams that were installed did not stand the test of time and were breaking down. On top of that, their basement was also receiving water leaks. They called us this time to get it right for good. We ripped out the beams and installed our PowerBraces, which won't crack like the other ones they had installed. We also waterproofed with an interior perimeter system consisting of concealed WaterGuard drains, a SuperSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The customer no longer needs to worry about wall failure or water leaks. 

This basement in Owenton, KY, was experiencing immense amount of water pressure outside the foundation. The horizontal crack along the wall in the before picture is right where the frost line is in the soil outside the basement. A wall may bow and crack horizontally near the frost line due to frost heave — a natural but damaging process that happens when moisture in the soil freezes and expands.  We relieved the pressure by first waterproofing with our subfloor drains and our sump pump. We then stabilized the walls by installing our steel PowerBrace I-beams. We also added a CleanSpace vapor barrier behind the beams to help drain wall leaks down into the subfloor system. The homeowner was happy to know that they no longer have to worry about their leaky bowing walls. 

In Williamstown, drought conditions brought in the Fall of 2024 have exaggerated the effects of settling, resulting in many houses to sink. For this house, we installed piers on the footers to transfer the weight of the home onto stable load-bearing soils. We then raised the foundation using hydraulics, which effectively closed the gap seen in the before picture.

This home in Georgetown, Kentucky had a foundational problem that could lead to complete destruction of their home, not to mention it was also causing flooding. After we inspected the problems, we suggested power braces and a waterproofing system to ensure a dry and healthy home. The family agreed and we began our installation process. Power braces, made of high-quality steel, were expertly placed along the basement walls to reinforce and support the foundation. Their adjustable design allowed for potential corrective measures, ensuring long-term stability. Alongside the power braces, the team installed a sump pump system in the basement floor along with a drain system. This smart solution would efficiently collect and redirect any incoming water away from the home's foundation, preventing water buildup and flooding. With the power braces and sump pump working in harmony, the home was now fortified against foundation issues and water woes, making it a safe and dry haven for her family and belongings.

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.
