Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement had a lot of hydro static pressure coming from their foundation walls, resulting in bowed in walls and basement leaks. We fixed this by installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system and installing PowerBraces over the bowed walls. When you waterproof a basement, it helps relieve that water pressure off of the walls, helping the PowerBraces out even further. We waterproofed by installing WaterGuard drains under the basement floor along the perimeter, and hooked the drains up to a SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels that cover the dirty walls and help filter water coming from the walls to the drainage system. 

The soil under this homes foundation was settling, causing a gap to appear near the bottom of their brick wall. We were able to raise the foundation by using helical piers, which are transferred the weight of the home down into load-bearing soil. We were then able to raise the foundation with hydraulics, which helped close the gap.

This home had a driveway that was slowly settling down a hill. We installed helical piers to make sure the driveway doesn't settle any further. This big driveway, which was used to store a lot of cars and weight, was now safe again. 

In Williamstown, drought conditions brought in the Fall of 2024 have exaggerated the effects of settling, resulting in many houses to sink. For this house, we installed piers on the footers to transfer the weight of the home onto stable load-bearing soils. We then raised the foundation using hydraulics, which effectively closed the gap seen in the before picture.

In Sadieville, KY, a homeowner faced the serious issue of their property sinking into the ground, especially at the corner of the home. This foundation settlement posed a risk to the structural integrity of the entire building. At The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky, we addressed the problem expertly and efficiently by installing our Helical Pier System. These engineered steel piers securely anchor into stable soil, stopping further settlement. We were also able to lift the foundation back towards its original position by using hydraulics, effectively closing the gap between the siding of the home and the foundation. With our solution, the home is now stable and secure once again.
