This below grade garage was receiving a lot of hydro-static pressure around certain walls. When this happens, the walls tend to bow in and cracks begin to form from the large amount of water that is sitting around the foundation. We first relieved the pressure by drilling weeping holes into the trenches where the waterproofing system will go. WaterGuard was then placed into the trenches, connected to a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line. We then placed CleanSpace walls and PowerBraces to hold the bowing walls up. The CleanSpace walls function as a funnel for moisture seeping through the walls and the CleanSpace also looks cosmetically pleasing as well.
The Plummer family of Corinth, Kentucky, had a lovely sunroom, but the concrete floor started to sink. They tried to make the space more comfortable by placing linolium on the floor. It wasn't doing the trick. Finally, they called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky and got a free estimate. We were able to lift and seal the concrete. The family was able to rearrange the sunroom and make it more comfortable.
For lighter concrete foundations, like sidewalks, we are able to lift, level, and stabilize using a foam jacking system. No longer will this foundation sink!
Before the intervention by The Basement Doctor team, the homeowner faced a concerning issue: the main beam in their crawl space was compromised due to moisture, leading to a sagging problem that threatened the integrity of their home. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the significant sagging posed a serious concern. Fortunate for this Owingsville, KY homeowner, our solution was at hand. We installed our innovative SmartJack system, a reliable and durable fix to reinforce the weakened structure. We also replaced the main beam, as it was too far gone. The 'after' photo showcases the remarkable transformation, bringing peace of mind and stability back to the homeowner's life. With our focus on providing a lasting solution and an exceptional customer experience, we're proud to restore not just homes, but homeowners' confidence.
This home had a sagging floor above the crawl space because the main beams had become worn out. We installed SmartJacks and a Smart Beam across the floor joists to support the ceiling.
