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.
Mr. Fee of Independence, Kentucky, had a leaking wall behind the insulation in his basement. Parts of his downspouts were missing, and his stoop was sinking.
To waterproof the basement, our Certified inspector, Walt, suggested we remove the insulation and install our BrightWall system. The BrightWall will channel the moisture from the wall into our WaterGuard drain and lead it into the SuperPump. From there, the water is pumped into our LawnScape system and directed away from the property.
A family in Latonia, Kentucky noticed that their concrete walking path had begun to sink and crack in certain parts. The family then called us for help and we sent one of our certified poly inspectors to take a look at things. Upon inspection, we noticed the reason the slab was sinking was because there were burrows of underground tunnels dug out by a family of critters. Our team took extra care to relocate the critters to a safe distance while completing the concrete lifting project, ensuring that both the families home and its unique former inhabitants were given due respect and consideration. The encounter left the family with a newfound appreciation for the hidden wonders beneath their home's surface.
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.
This homeowner in Independence, KY had multiple concrete slabs that were settling and becoming uneven — a common issue caused by soil washout or shifting beneath the surface. Around their pool deck and driveway, the slabs were not only unsightly but also becoming a safety hazard.
To restore a smooth, even surface, our crew used PolyLevel® foam injection to lift and stabilize the sunken sections. This high-density polyurethane foam expands beneath the slabs to gently raise them back to level — without the mess or downtime of replacement.
Once the slabs were leveled, we sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro® joint sealant, which helps keep water out and extends the life of the concrete. In the finished photos, you can faintly see where the cracks once were — now sealed and protected for the future.
We recently completed a full basement waterproofing and structural repair project for a homeowner in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. After years of dealing with water intrusion and bowing foundation walls, they decided it was time to invest in a long-term solution to protect their home.
Our team installed the WaterGuard® drainage system along the perimeter of the basement to capture any water seeping in and direct it to a SuperSump® pump system, giving the homeowner peace of mind during heavy rains. To brighten the space and protect the walls, we also installed BriteWall® paneling, which not only enhances the appearance but also helps control moisture.
In addition to waterproofing, we addressed the structural concerns by reinforcing the bowing foundation walls with PowerBrace™ steel beams, providing permanent stabilization and preventing further movement.
With these solutions in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected — giving the homeowner confidence that their foundation is secure for years to come.
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.
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.
This Covington, KY home had a noticeable dip in the floors above the basement. Over time, the original floor joists had weakened, leaving parts of the home feeling soft and uneven underfoot. After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the sagging joists from below. Once the system was in place, we carefully adjusted each jack to bring the floors back to level, restoring both stability and comfort inside the home. This type of foundation repair not only strengthens the structure but also prevents future settling in the basement framing. Another solid fix for a Covington homeowner who can now walk across level floors again.
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.
A homeowner in Latonia, KY, reached out after noticing water collecting near their basement steps and damp spots forming along the floor edges after heavy rain. The problem started near the stairwell entry and gradually spread toward the finished areas of the basement. To fully protect the space, our crew installed a complete waterproofing system designed to capture, control, and safely discharge water away from the home.
We began by installing the WaterGuard subfloor drainage system along the interior perimeter. This hidden channel collects seepage directly from the wall-floor joint and directs it toward the sump pump. At the base of the stairwell, we added a trench drain to capture surface water coming down the steps before it could reach the basement floor. From there, we connected the drainage to a new TripleSafe sump pump system, offering three levels of protection to keep the basement dry even during power outages or pump failures.
To manage discharge outside, we installed IceGuard outlets to prevent freezing in the discharge lines during winter months, and a LawnScape outlet at the end of the line for clean, effective drainage into the yard.
This Latonia home now has a reliable, year-round waterproofing system designed to handle both surface and subsurface water. The homeowner can finally enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement will stay dry no matter how hard it rains.
A homeowner in Fort Mitchell noticed water pooling in the window well and leaking into the basement. To stop the issue, we first excavated the exterior window well, removing soil and backfilling the base with clean gravel. Next we drilled a hole through the foundation wall immediately below the window and installed a grated strainer on the outside to collect water from the well. On the interior wall we installed the WellDuct channel, sealed to the foundation wall, and connected it into the interior perimeter drainage system. Inside the basement we installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and a SuperSump sump system to manage all incoming water. Finally, we installed a SunHouse window-well cover to keep debris and rain out of the well going forward. With the system in place, the window well no longer floods, the leak is resolved, and the basement is dry and protected.
This home in Ft Mitchell, KY, was sinking into the soil on one side, so the homeowner gave us a call to structurally repair it. We underpinned the sinking side of the home with our helical piers, which are designed to reach far down into the earth. By reaching far down into the earth, we are able to guarantee that the weight of the home has been transferred from problematic soil to load-bearing soil. This guarantee allows us to give out a lifetime warranty against settlement for the life of the structure. Once the piers were installed and the house was lifted back up, we then covered the system with backfill, leaving the piers completely concealed and the house structurally sound.
