Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home was sinking down a side of a hill, causing the side of the house to disconnect from the rest of the home. We installed helical piers in order to raise the side of the house back to health, and to keep it that way. You can see the stair-step cracking in the before picture near the bottom of the downspout and the top of the downspout where the gap sits between the yellow panels and the bricks. 

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. 

Before, a Lebanon, KY homeowner faced a daunting problem with a large horizontal crack in their basement, risking the structural integrity of their home. Notice in the photo the visible stress this issue caused. Fast forward to our solution - the installation of our PowerBrace system. The after photo showcases how we turned the tide, stabilizing the structure with our reliable repair. This transformation is a testament to our commitment to providing lasting solutions and peace of mind.

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 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.
