Before & After Photos

For lighter concrete foundations, like sidewalks, we are able to lift, level, and stabilize using a foam jacking system. No longer will this foundation sink!

Before the intervention by The Basement Doctor team, the homeowner faced a concerning issue: the main beam in their crawl space was compromised due to moisture, leading to a sagging problem that threatened the integrity of their home. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the significant sagging posed a serious concern. Fortunate for this Owingsville, KY homeowner, our solution was at hand. We installed our innovative SmartJack system, a reliable and durable fix to reinforce the weakened structure. We also replaced the main beam, as it was too far gone. The 'after' photo showcases the remarkable transformation, bringing peace of mind and stability back to the homeowner's life. With our focus on providing a lasting solution and an exceptional customer experience, we're proud to restore not just homes, but homeowners' confidence.

This crawlspace was caving in from the roof because the beams that held it up were sinking into the ground over time. SmartJacks apply strength to the crawlspace and are special because they can be adjusted over time in case the crawlspace sinks even more. 

When a bowing block basement wall has less than two inches of deflection, we can stabilize it with our CarbonArmor system. Carbon armor is the perfect wall reinforcement system because it is, minimally invasive, has a quick installation time, and is super strong. We first sand the walls to make sure our epoxy glue gets deep into the pores of the concrete for ultimate strength. We then apply the epoxy over the wall and adhere it to the carbon reinforcement strip. After we glue the carbon strip to the wall, we then configure the ArmorLock, which is how we configure the system to the rim joist and sill plate. Carbon Armor is the perfect solution for minimally bowed block walls!

The wall in the garage of this home was bowing in from built up water on the outside soil of the garage. In order to keep this wall stable, we installed a system of PowerBrace steel beams. PowerBraces are not just your everyday steel beam product. They have unique qualities like special brackets that prevent damage to floor joists. They are also made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like other options. The result of this project brought peace of mind to the homeowner that their wall won't shift again.
