How does the floor of your crawl space look? Is it dirty? Infested? Wet? Haven't looked in years? If so, its okay! We specialize in crawl space repair, and for this homeowner in Raywick, KY, we were able to help them encapsulate it with our CleanSpace moisture barrier. No longer is it a pain for them to crawl in their crawl space! There are also tons of other benefits with encapsulating your crawl space like; improved air quality in your home, reduced energy bills, and prevention of structural damage!

Hydrostatic pressure is the most common issue for basements that we see. When your foundation was first built, the builders have to dig up soil around the foundation and then have to backfill back around that foundation with the same soil. Because the soil was dug up, it's not as compact. This creates a clay bowl effect around your home, where water is more inclined to saturate the soil around your foundation because the soil was once broken up. With all this water sitting on the outside of your foundation, it creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the walls. In order to relieve this water pressure, we installed an interior waterproofing system that invites the built up water into the sump pump, and then the sump pump discharges that water far away from the home. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to make sure the wall is stabilized for good. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to cover up the stained block walls.

This house in Somerset, Kentucky was having trouble with a sinking foundation due to soil movement and other factors. The best solution was to install Smart Jacks to stabilize the foundation once and for all. The Smart Jacks are special because they penetrate the most stable, deepest part of the soil, so they don't move ever. They are also as strong as The Incredible Hulk, except Smart Jacks exist in the real world.

This front porch was sunken into the ground by a couple inches, allowing dirt to wash up and other cosmetic issues. We sprayed PolyLevel foam under the concrete to raise the porch back up as well as seal it from rain. 

This house had a crawlspace that was sinking into the ground. As a result, the floors above the crawl space were sagging because they lost support. It also doesn't help that the crawlspace had a lot of moisture, which was showing early signs of rot in the beams in the crawl space. We fixed this problem by installing our crawl space SmartJacks, where we can adjust the length of the SmartJacks any time. They also won't rust and are super strong.
