This home in Silver Grove, Kentucky sits right near the Ohio River. Homes near the Ohio River usually experience a lot of leaking because water runs downhill, resulting in a lot of run off. Luckily, We were able to help this homeowner by waterproofing their basement with our interior perimeter system. Our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our SuperSump sump pump combine for quite the system. We also covered their dirty block walls with our BrightWall panels, which are great at channeling water from the walls into the system and staying dry.
A homeowner in Fort Thomas noticed cracks in walls, sticking doors, and sloping floors — all signs of foundation settlement. Our inspection confirmed that unstable soil was causing the rear of the home to sink.
We installed helical piers along the settling foundation wall to permanently stabilize the structure.
Excavated down to the footing
Installed piers to reach stable soil
Secured brackets to the foundation
Transferred the load of the home to the new piers
Cleaned up and restored the area
The foundation is now stable, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the issue is permanently fixed and backed by a warranty.A homeowner in Alexandria, Kentucky, reached out to us after struggling with water intrusion and damp conditions in their basement. The space was musty, uninviting, and at risk for long-term moisture damage if left untreated.
To solve the problem, we installed our WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the full perimeter of the basement. Water collected by the system is directed to a TripleSafe® sump pump, which provides powerful and reliable pumping — even during power outages.
To improve air quality and prevent moisture buildup, we added a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, one of the most efficient systems available for basement environments. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall® panels, which not only brighten the space but also help guide any wall seepage down into the drainage system.
Now the basement is dry, bright, and protected — a complete transformation that gives the homeowner peace of mind year-round.
In Bellevue, KY, a homeowner noticed that every heavy rain meant water was seeping into their garage — and from there, finding its way straight into their finished basement. Since the garage and basement were on the same level below the main living space, even a small amount of water in the garage became a big problem for the basement. Not only was this threatening their finished space, but it also risked long-term moisture damage.
To solve the problem at its source, our crew installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system to handle water removal automatically and reliably. We paired this with a partial WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system in the garage, designed to intercept and redirect any incoming water before it could reach the basement.
Now, rainwater stays out where it belongs, and both the garage and basement remain clean, dry, and protected — giving the homeowner the peace of mind that their finished basement is safe from future water damage.
A homeowner in Dayton, KY was dealing with water seeping into one side of their basement during heavy rains. The dampness was beginning to cause musty odors and threaten stored belongings, so they needed a targeted solution that would stop the problem without overhauling the entire basement.
Our team installed a partial WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system along the affected area to capture incoming water at the foundation’s edge and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe® sump pump system. The TripleSafe offers three levels of pumping protection — including a battery backup — to keep the basement dry even during power outages or extreme storms.
With this partial system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing that their basement is protected where it matters most.
This home on the golf course in California, KY, leaked heavily any time there was a heavy rain. We installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system for this homeowner to keep this basement dry all the time. We wrapped the basement in our WaterGuard subfloor drains and hooked them up to a SuperSump sump pump system. Seven months later, the homeowner was happy with the system, so they gave us a call to waterproof another property they owned on the California golf course in California, KY.
In August 2025, we were called out to the corner of Lexington Avenue and Providence Way in Newport, KY to prepare a new garage addition for long-term stability. The homeowner wanted peace of mind that their new structure would never face settlement issues, so we installed our pre-construction helical piers before the foundation was poured.
Our team placed the piers precisely along the planned footer line. This way, when the concrete was poured, it wrapped directly around each pier, locking them into the foundation itself. By anchoring the garage addition to stable soil from the very start, the homeowner can be confident the foundation won’t shift or settle for the lifetime of the building.
This proactive approach is one of the smartest ways to build, giving homeowners strength and security before the first wall ever goes up.
A homeowner in a neighborhood off E Main St in Alexandria, KY reached out to us after noticing signs of settlement near the corner of their home. Upon inspection, we found that part of the foundation had begun to sink, putting stress on both the structure and the homeowner’s peace of mind.
To stabilize the home, our team recommended installing helical piers. Because there were plumbing lines and an exterior French drain running just above the footer, we couldn’t bring in heavy equipment. Instead, our crew carefully hand-dug around the utilities to ensure nothing was damaged during the installation.
Once the area was prepared, we wrapped the settling corner with helical piers, transferring the home’s weight onto stable soil below. The result was a reinforced foundation and the peace of mind that this Alexandria home will remain safe and stable for years to come.
This home in Bellevue, Kentucky, had a section of sagging floors on the first floor of the home. This is a common issue found in older homes, especially ones with stone foundations commonly found in Bellevue, KY. We repaired the sagging floor issue by installing our SmartJack posts in the basement of the home. After adjusting each individual SmartJack, we were able to lift the floors backup and even them out as well.
This concrete pool area in Dayton, KY, had slabs that had settled over time. This is common for pool areas, due to the amount of water that can splash out of the pool. The slabs had also created tripping hazards, which can be especially dangerous near a wet poolside. You may also notice that the control joints between the slabs had broken down over time, which was allowing ever more water to infiltrate the soil beneath the slabs. We repaired the concrete by injecting the slabs with our PolyLevel foam, then sealing the control joints back up with our elastic NexusPro sealant. The result is a stable, safe, pretty poolside transformation.
This home in California, KY, had a sinking foundation on the backside of the home. We suspected that the problematic side of the home was settling because of a specific tree, and because of the grade of the land. If you notice, the tree was pretty close to the foundation, and the roots were even closer. In fact, we had to cut most of the roots in order to excavate down to the homes footer when we installed our piers. Either way, we installed a row of piers on the sinking side of the home in order to stabilize it. We started by drilling our piers down into load-bearing strata, where we are able to guarantee that the piers won't ever move in the future. We then transferred the weight of the home to the load-bearing strata by attaching our piers to the footing of the home with our "L" shaped brackets. If you look in the picture, you'll notice that the two closest piers had the brackets attached, while the rest of the piers had not yet been secured. After the picture was taken, we would then secure the rest of the piers, then backfill the trench with the soil in order to conceal the system. After the project, we were able to guarantee that this side of the home won't settle any further for the lifetime of the structure.
This porch in Alexandria, Kentucky, was sinking into problematic soil. We stabilized the porch by underpinning the foundation with a helical pier system. Our helical piers are drilled down vertically underneath the porch, and they are able to reach load-bearing strata - which is found deep below the earth. After we drilled them down, we then latched them onto the foundation of the porch by using our bracket system. The brackets help transfer the weight of the porch to the load-bearing strata the piers are secured in. After attaching them to the foundation, we are then able to lift the foundation back up using hydraulic fluid. After the system was installed, we then concealed the piers with a dirt backfill. This porch is now protected against settlement for the entire life of the structure.
