Before & After Photos

This front porch had settled pretty far down into the contracted soil, which was no so sightly. The settling process also disturbed their gutters, soffit, columns, and their steps. Since this porch slab was about 2 feet thick, our PolyLevel foam lifting method could not be used to lift it back up. Instead, we used our helical piers to not only stabilize the front porch, but to raise it as well. The piers are driven deep into stable soil which ensures the porch won't settle any more. The piers also have a hydraulic component that allowed us to lift this heavy structure. After the job, the homeowners are now able to repair anything on the porch that the settling process damaged, and they won't have to worry about settling any longer. 

This Sadieville, KY homeowner had a 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.

We repaired this concrete porch in Richmond, KY, by lifting it and stabilizing it with two different combined solutions. The porch slab was pretty thick, and the footing was pretty deep, so we needed to send our piering crew out to ensure we could lift the porch back up with our helical piers. We then sent out our PolyLevel crew to fill the voids the piers left underneath the slab with our foam solution. You may notice our PolyLevel crew was also able to level out the stairs leading up to the front porch. They also sealed the crack in the sidewalk and the joint between the brick siding and the porch slab using our NexusPro sealant. The easiest way to notice how much we lifted the porch by is to look at the gap between the two concrete steps just beneath the front door in both the before and after picture. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and can get back to relaxing on the front porch with their cat. 

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. 

The soil under this Stanton, KY, home was settling, causing a gap to appear between the bottom of their brick wall and the block foundation. We were able to raise the foundation by utilizing helical piers, which effectively transferred the weight of the home to load-bearing soil. We were then able to raise the foundation with hydraulics, which helped close the gap.
