We recently had a project on an older home out in Covington, Kentucky. The basement was constantly flooding anytime it rained. The owners were tired of having to vacuum the water out each time it rained, so they decided to take care of it once and for all. It was a very prototypical waterproof job for us that required WaterGuard, a Super Sump Plus, an Ultra Sump 4, and a SaniDry Sedona. We also installed a trench drain, a guard around the water heater, and a CleanSpace wall. We used two sumps for this job considering how much rain this basement receives and how susceptible it is to leaking. After installation, the owners had no problem with rain and they can now focus on other better things to do with their time instead of constantly cleaning water out of their basement.

The cracks in these concrete slabs could allow for further weather intrusion, causing the concrete cracks to get worse. We filled the cracks with Nexus Pro crack sealant, which is UV-resistant and won't crack or bubble.

Hydrostatic pressure can place an incredible strain on basement walls. Just one cubic foot of water weighs about 60 pounds, which means thousands of pounds of force can be pushing inward against your foundation at any given time.
That was the case for this basement in Covington, KY, where built-up groundwater around the foundation led to cracks, leaks, and bowing walls. To address the problem, we installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system to relieve the water pressure, paired with our PowerBrace wall repair system to stabilize and gradually straighten the walls.
To finish, we added our BrightWall paneling system, which not only channels wall leaks into the drainage system but also provides a clean, bright appearance.

Using PolyLEVEL, an expansive polyurethane foam we lift and level sunken concrete slabs. The foam expands beneath the surface of the concrete lifting the sunken concrete slab. The foam cures over the course of a day leaving a powerful and lightweight foundation beneath the slab. PolyLEVEL is the preferred method over traditional forma of mudjacking or slab jacking.
A homeowner in Covington, Kentucky, reached out to us after noticing signs of foundation settlement — including cracking in the walls and doors that no longer closed properly. The shifting foundation was putting stress on the structure, and they needed a permanent solution to stop the movement.
After a thorough inspection, we recommended foundation underpinning using helical piers. These steel piers are drilled deep into stable soil layers beneath the home and are designed to transfer the structure’s weight away from weak or shifting surface soils.
Our crew carefully installed the piers around the settling sections of the foundation. In some areas, we were able to lift the structure slightly, helping to close cracks and restore alignment. Most importantly, the piers now provide permanent stabilization, preventing any future settlement.
Thanks to this repair, the homeowner can feel confident that their foundation is secure and protected for years to come.
The basement walls of this Covington, Kentucky home were bowing and cracking over time. Our technicians arrived ready to install a PowerBrace system. This system not only provides permanent support to bowing or unstable basement walls - but it can also sometimes be used to straighten walls back up to their original positions (depending on field conditions). After the PowerBraces were installed, the homeowners could rest assured that their basement walls were stable.
