Before & After Photos

After we encapsulated the crawl space, the homeowners finally had a reason to use it. They wanted to store some things down there, so they wanted a new access well that would make climbing in and out of the crawl space easier. We installed our Turtl door, which comes with a locking capability, perfect for anyone who wishes to store valuables in their crawl space. The Turtl is also super strong, weather resistant, and looks great.

A simple crawl space repair can do wonders for the longevity of your home. Blocking out moisture with our CleanSpace liner and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier can extend the life of your crawl space for many, many years. Crawl Space Repairs can also greatly increase the quality of air you breathe throughout your home. If you are looking for a trustworthy company to come and repair your crawl space, give us a call!

This basement wall in Lawrenceburg, KY, was bowing inwards, as evidence by the horizontal crack running along the wall. We braced the wall with our PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall. These braces are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, as these galvanized steel beams were designed by engineers to hold extreme loads back horizontally. These braces were also designed with different top brackets, which helps us connect the tops of the braces to the floor joists in the ceiling, depending on if the joists run parallel or perpendicular to the wall. You may also notice that we aligned the wall with our vapor barrier, as we also waterproofed this basement as well.

This front porch in Frankfort, KY, had settled pretty far down into the soil, which made for an awkward entrance to the front door. Far more problematic though, the settling was causing severe damages to the roof overhang system above. The columns, which connected the porch slab to the roof overhang were sinking with the porch. To fix this, we underpinned the porch with our helical piers to not just stabilize the structure, but to raise it back up as well. The piers were driven deep below the porch vertically, and they were concealed with backfill afterwards. The piers also allowed us to lift this heavy structure, which helped level out the slab and close some gaps and cracks in the overhang above. Afterwards, the homeowner no longer has to worry about their roof toppling down due to sinking support columns.

This photo set taken from a basement shows the transformation of a bowing wall repair project in Frankfort, KY. The before photo highlights the shearing symptom, which happens in late stage of wall failure, and is super dangerous. Shearing occurs when there is so much external pressure that the wall slowly starts to slide inwards, right over the floor slab. This wall was at a very high risk for complete structural failure. After we repaired the wall with a bracing system, we were able to push the wall back to a plum position. In fact, our crew was able to push the wall back 3 inches far. This repair process was very delicate, but our crew was able to handle the pressure. If you wish to read more about this project, we have a case study that you can read by clicking here.
