This Erlanger, KY basement had old, ineffective braces that were no longer holding back a visibly bowing wall - you can see the lean just to the right of the door frame in the before photo. Our crew removed the outdated supports and replaced them with our PowerBrace system, which uses heavy-duty steel beams anchored to the floor and joists to permanently stabilize and to potentially straighten the wall out over time. You may also noticed we wrapped the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, giving the basement a clean, bright appearance while sealing out moisture behind the bracing system. What was once a failing, visibly bowed wall is now straight, secure, and protected with a modern system built to last.

This foundation in Erlanger, KY, was in dire need of a repair system. More specifically, the load-bearing walls were bowing inwards. In Erlanger, KY, and for most of our service area, the soil is composed of natural clay. Clay soil is known for its expansive qualities, especially when it gets wet. As the clay surrounding a foundation expands, it can force an enormous amount of pressure upon a foundation, thus causing a wall(s) to bulge inwards. To fix this foundation, we braced all four walls with our PowerBrace steel beam system. The homeowner was happy to know that their foundation is safe from collapsing.

This wall in a basement of a Erlanger, KY, home was deflecting inwards. To repair the failing wall, our crew braced the wall with our PowerBrace system. The steel beams are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, and they ran vertically up against the wall. At the top of the beams, we secured the braces to the floor joist system with specially designed top brackets. These brackets help evenly distribute the load of the wall against the floor joist system, which helps prevent damage to the basement ceiling. The homeowner was happy to know that our system will stop their wall from toppling inwards.

It’s the fastest, most durable way to remove tripping hazards and restore your property’s curb appeal in Erlanger.
In Erlanger, KY, this commercial building had uneven concrete floors that had settled over time, creating dips and trip hazards throughout the space. To restore a smooth, level surface without the mess of replacement, our crew used PolyLevel foam to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete from underneath. The lightweight, high-strength foam expands to fill voids in the soil, providing long-lasting support while minimizing disruption inside the building. By the end of the project, the floors were level, stable, and ready for use again—without the downtime or cost of tearing out the old concrete.
This home in Erlanger, KY, had a unique foundation setup with both a crawl space and a basement. The basement was mainly used as utility space, but water intrusion was creating issues that needed a permanent solution. Our crew installed a full WaterGuard perimeter system along with a SuperSump and UltraSump for reliable pumping capacity. To protect the water heater, we also added a TrenchDrain to safely channel any leaks. In the crawl space, we encapsulated with CleanSpace and installed a SaniDry Sedona to control humidity and keep the environment clean and dry. With both areas addressed, the homeowners now have peace of mind knowing their basement and crawl space are protected from water and moisture problems.
A homeowner in Erlanger, Kentucky had been dealing with a damp, musty basement for years. Every time it rained, water would seep in around the edges of the floor, leaving behind puddles and a lingering odor. The excess moisture not only made the basement feel uncomfortable, but it also raised concerns about mold, air quality, and long-term damage to the home’s foundation. Wanting a permanent solution, the homeowner reached out to our team for help.
After inspecting the basement, we recommended a full waterproofing system to address both the water intrusion and the humidity. Our crew installed WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement to collect any incoming water and direct it to a TripleSafe sump pump, which offers reliable, triple-layer protection against flooding. To help brighten the space and protect the walls from moisture, we installed BriteWall panels. Finally, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity and keep the air clean and dry year-round.
With these solutions in place, the basement is now dry, healthy, and protected for the long term. The homeowner no longer has to worry every time it rains, and they can finally enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a properly waterproofed home.
