Corbin, KY's Trusted Basement Waterproofing & Concrete Repair Contractor

A home in Corbin, Kentucky, had a wall in their basement that was starting to deflect inwards. The wall started to move inwards due to built up hydrostatic pressure outside the basement. Because the movement was caught very early in the failure process, we were able to strap the wall with our CarbonArmor straps to ensure stabilization. These straps are made of a carbon fiber, and are a relatively new technology. Many customers like them for how thin they are, which allows then to be concealed behind drywall. If this customer waited longer to fix the problem, then we probably would have had to use our steel braces, which are thicker than the CarbonArmor. These straps were glued to the wall with multiple layers of epoxy, making for a relatively quick and minimally invasive operation. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.

A homeowner in Corbin, Kentucky, noticed that one corner of their house had started to settle, leaving cracks in the walls and visible gaps around the foundation. Concerned about the stability of their home, they reached out to us for a long-term solution.

Our crew installed three helical piers around the settling corner of the foundation. These piers were drilled deep down into stable load-bearing soil, then attached securely to the footing of the home. By wrapping the corner with helical piers, we were able to stop further settlement and restore lasting stability to the structure.

Now, the homeowner can rest easy knowing the foundation is supported and protected from future movement.
