Before & After Photos

Our helical piers were installed in this house's foundation to save the house from sinking. The piers cause little disturbance and are invisible! 

Sometimes its easier to put piers in through the basement floor rather than outside the basement walls. That's what we did here for this homeowner to stop their foundation from settling and causing cracks in their home. 

This customer noticed their dry wall in their basement was receiving small amounts of moisture and was cracking in spots. When they cut the wall to take a look to see what was going on, they noticed the wall was going to need foundation work as well as waterproofing work. We did a interior perimeter waterproofing installation at the bottom of the damaged walls, which will relieve pressure off the walls as well as keep them dry. We then placed PowerBraces on the bowed in walls, which will provide strength to them. Not pictured is a TripleSafe sump pump. 

Seen in the before picture is the side of the brick house that was sinking into unstable soil. This was causing stair-step cracking in the bricks and sticky windows. If left untreated, the bricks on the side of the house could eventually fall off completely, as we have seen before. It's important to catch this problem early on, that way we can actually raise the foundation back without hurting the siding of your house. When we attach the piers, we have a handheld hydraulic device that can raise the foundation back slowly. We were able to close the cracks and fix the sticky windows. This beautiful brick house won't have to worry about settlement anymore. 

Need someone you can trust to repair your foundation? You can trust us! This basement had some bowing walls that were shearing and stair-step cracking. We repaired the walls by installing PowerBraces. PowerBraces are steel beams that are patented for their design, because they prevent damage to floor joists. We are the sole providers of PowerBraces throughout Northern Kentucky. NoteL
