Before & After Photos

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.

This family in Corinth, Kentucky, had a lovely sunroom, but the concrete floor started to sink. They tried to make the space more comfortable by placing linoleum on the floor, but that only concealed the real problem. Finally, they called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky and got a free estimate. We were able to lift and seal the concrete using our expansive foam jacking process. The family was able to rearrange the sunroom and make it more comfortable afterwards. 

This crawlspace was caving in from the roof because the beams that held it up were sinking into the ground over time. SmartJacks apply strength to the crawlspace and are special because they can be adjusted over time in case the crawlspace sinks even more. 

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.

This homeowner had a sidewalk in front of their home that was sinking into the ground. We used a Polylevel injection system to raise the concrete sidewalk for the homeowner. In the After photo, there is no longer a space between the step and the sidewalk, and you can also see that the corner of the sidewalk is no longer flush with the ground, and has been lifted up to the correct height.
