This homeowner gave us a call because they suspected their existing sump pump was failing. They noticed it wasn't running as often as it normally should, and when they looked under the lid, the water line was above the activating switch. We replaced their old sump pump for them with our SuperSump sump pump. We also attached our UltraSump 4 battery backup system to the sump pump. The UltraSump pump goes fits in the sump liner, and is powered by a battery, (which is off to the right of the "after" picture). The UltraSump will turn on in case the main pump fails, or the power goes out. This homeowner won't have to worry about pump failures any longer thanks to the Basement Systems technologies.

The sinking corner of this garage in Newport, KY, was causing a large crack to appear between the mortar in the block wall. When a block wall cracks due to settling, it commonly appears in a "stair-step" fashion. If you'll notice in the before picture, the crack looks like a staircase, and so that's where the name comes from. This often happens because the weakest point in a block wall is the mortar, so the mortar breaks away first. If you'll notice in the after photo, we were able to lift the foundation back up with our steel pier system, effectively closing the crack. Not only do our steel piers allow us to lift a structure back up, they also allow us to guarantee the foundation won't move vertically for the lifetime of the structure. After we completed the job, the homeowner was happy to be able to seal the crack back up without the thought of it ever being able to move again.

Filling in wall cracks with a sealant may fix the short term problems, but the long term probably will still exist. Bowing walls can lead to some serious problems if not addressed, so give us a call for a free estimate!

Homeowners in the Tri-State—from Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio to Southeast Indiana—know that heavy rains and high water tables can quickly lead to a wet basement. In Newport, our heavy clay soils trap moisture against your foundation, leading to leaks, mold, and dampness. At [Company Name], we provide a complete range of basement waterproofing solutions designed to keep your home permanently dry:
Whether you have a historic home in Newport or a modern build, our waterproofing systems are tailored to the local climate and geology of the Ohio River Valley.

We waterproofed this home in Newport, KY, for a homeowner who was tired of having to clean the basement every time it rained. We started by jackhammering around the perimeter of the basement floor to make room for our WaterGuard drains. We then hooked the drains up to a SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement. To finish, we wrapped the walls with our BrightWall panels, floated concrete back over the top of the drains to conceal them, and we closed the sump pump lid airtight. After the project was completed, the homeowner left us a review on our website. The homeowner noted that they appreciated how our crew kept their basement clean by covering all their items with a plastic tarp to manage the dust. They also noted that they chose us over the competition due to pricing.
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.
