Before & After Photos

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. 

A house in Lexington, Kentucky, had a wall in the basement that was bowing. The homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky to find a solution to this problem. After meeting with a Certified Inspector, the homeowner decided to have the PowerBrace System installed to support the walls. A PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is secured tightly against the wall and attached to the floor and floor joists. There is an adjustable bracket at the top that can be tightened over time. This gradual tightening over time may be able to reverse the wall failure. 

This wall was shifting so much, almost reaching a catastrophic level. Luckily, the customer noticed the signs and called us to help install PowerBraces to hold this wall together.

PolyLevel work was needed on this front porch slab, which was sinking into the ground because it was on the same type of soil as the right side of the home, (which received piers.) PolyLevel requires small injection holes calculatedly spread across the porch to carefully lift the porch back to its original position. The PolyLevel foam is very durable and light, so it won't allow the porch to continue to sink after lifted.

This basement wall was caving in which is something that needs to be taken pretty seriously. It's important that bowing walls are help up by products that are strong, reliable, and durable, just like our PowerBraces seen here.
