Before & After Photos

This home's front side wall in Harrodsburg, KY, was moving inwards towards the basement floor. Because the backside of the home features a walkout basement, there wasn't enough opposing soil pressure on that side to suggest a traditional wall bracing system. Without the counterforce, bracing the front side wall could cause damage to the floor joists and even cause the backside of the home to kick outwards near the top of the wall. Because of this situation, we suggested repairing the wall by installing our helical tieback system and our wall anchors. We were able to drill our helical rods horizontally through the front side wall into the soil beneath the lawn in the front yard. After pulling the wall back, we then tarred the wall around the rods to seal the wall, safeguarding it from leaking. Lastly, we anchored the wall with our wall plates to help secure the rods. You may also notice that we waterproofed this basement as well by wrapping the perimeter with our WaterGuard subfloor drains, wrapping the walls with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier, and installing a sump pump (not pictured). 

This Sadieville, KY, homeowner had a collapsing retaining wall near their driveway that had started to lean outward from years of soil pressure. The movement was beginning to affect the stability of the driveway and raised concerns about long-term safety. Our crew installed two helical tiebacks and two wall anchors to pull the wall back toward its original position and lock it securely in place. What was once a visibly leaning wall is now straight, stable, and ready to hold strong for years to come.

This foundation wall in Berea, KY, was bowing in towards the basement. In fact, the wall had bowed so much that a large two inch horizontal crack had formed in the middle of the wall. To stabilize the wall, we used our helical tieback system. Our tiebacks were screwed through the wall laterally into the soil surrounding the basement. This soil gave us the counteractive force needed to save the wall. After securing the tiebacks into the soil, we then latched on our wall anchors to evenly spread out the counteractive force across the wall. Lastly, we also waterproofed the wall with our subfloor drains and a sump pump, as the basement was known to leak. 

This basement in Winchester, KY, became damaged over time from built up hydrostatic pressure outside the foundation. This pressure had caused a wall in the basement to start to lean in, and the basement leaked as well. To fix the more pressing issue, (the bowing in wall), we braced the basement from the inside with our PowerBraces. Next, we waterproofed the basement with our interior subfloor drainage system, and we covered the walls with our vapor barrier as well. Now that the basement is secured against structural damage and water leaks, the homeowner finally has a reason to tidy up their storage area.  

This below grade garage was receiving a lot of hydro-static pressure around certain walls. When this happens, the walls tend to bow in and cracks begin to form from the large amount of water that is sitting around the foundation. We first relieved the pressure by drilling weeping holes into the trenches where the waterproofing system will go. WaterGuard was then placed into the trenches, connected to a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line. We then placed CleanSpace walls and PowerBraces to hold the bowing walls up. The CleanSpace walls function as a funnel for moisture seeping through the walls and the CleanSpace also looks cosmetically pleasing as well.
