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 back patio slab in Lancaster, KY, had settled by a few inches. We raised the slab back up with our PolyLevel foam injections. You can see the difference in elevation by looking at the gap between the slab and the vinyl siding of the home. By leveling this slab back out and slightly pitching it away from the home, rain & water from the hot tub are now directed away from the foundation of the home. 

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.
