Before & After Photos

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, it was at an almost 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 PowerBrace's seen here. 

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.
