Foundation Repair Photo Album: Twisting Foundation in Gilbertsville KY

This home was struggling with a wet basement, shifting foundation, and sinking porch. It was time to have these problems permanently fixed before it could get any worse. Stabilizing the foundation was priority. Water management was 2nd but just as important to help prevent water related damages down the road.

Horizontal Cracks

The horizontal crack here shows the wall is buckling to the weight and pressure of the earth from the other side.

Interior Retaining Wall

For this particular situation a block retaining wall was the best solution to reinforce the pile of dirt against the interior wall. This dirt is now used as a positive pressure to make that foundation wall even stronger.

Interior Waterproofing

Our patented DryTrack System will be installed against the new retaining wall to collect and redirect any water to a sump pump. This will prevent water pooling or pressure build up in the soil.
