The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This house was built on a slab foundation, meaning the footers were pretty much on top of the dirt. We often witness foundation problems for structures built on slabs because the footers do not sit beneath the frost line, (the frost line is where the soil is able to freeze underground). Because the footers of the foundation sit above the frost line, the soil beneath it often goes through periods of shrinking and expanding, causing havoc on the foundation. Although scary, we were able to fix this side of the structure relatively easily by underpinning the foundation with steel piers. After lifting the foundation back with the red attachment on the piers, (seen in the after picture) we then take the attachments off and backfill the piers, leaving them completely concealed from the ground. 

The wall in the garage of this home was bowing in from built up water on the outside soil of the garage. In order to keep this wall stable, we installed a system of PowerBrace steel beams. PowerBraces are not just your everyday steel beam product. They have unique qualities like special brackets that prevent damage to floor joists. They are also made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like other options. The result of this project brought peace of mind to the homeowner that their wall won't shift again.

This driveway in Paintsville, KY, had concrete slabs that had settled over time, creating bumps, uneven spots, and minor cracks throughout. Our crew repaired the issue by carefully injecting polyurethane foam beneath each slab, using precise amounts to lift them to the correct height. The foam expanded to fill voids and raise each section, restoring a smooth, level surface across the entire driveway. The result is an even, stable driveway that looks and functions like new. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see the transformation.
