Before & After Photos

This crawl space was using rocks and cinder blocks to hold up their main beams. We added our SmartJack posts to help strengthen the structure of the crawl space. 

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

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 home had a sinking slab that was causing the walls to crack vertically. Luckily, we are able to fix this problem relatively easily. When we install piers, they are placed so deep down that they reach solid soil that wont ever move. This allows the piers to stay strong and stay still even after the house has been raised, 

The owner of this home had a sinking crawl space that was resulting in sagging floors. In the "before" picture you can see their old jacks were not adjustable, meaning they could not change the height of the jacks to adjust for the sinking crawl space. Their old jacks were also rusting and becoming weaker. Luckily, our SmartJacks are able to be adjusted throughout time, countering the sinking crawl space effect. They are also a lot stronger and durable than the old ones, and will not rust.
