These homeowners in Cadiz Kentucky noticed a crack on the outside of their home as well as doors and windows not opening as easily as they should. They contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a free inspection and a design specialist was sent to their home to address their concerns. After a thorough inspection it was decided that a series of push piers were the right solution for this home. Push piers are designed to provide support and lift a home back to it’s original position! WOW! What great results!!!
This basement in Kentucky was going through bad water damage problems from hydrostatic pressure outside of the walls. The pressure caused cracks and leaking throughout the basement and just made the walls highly unattractive and unsightly.
They searched for foundation companies in their area and found us! They scheduled a free inspection and in no time our inspector was out there and assessing their basement. He noted the wall cracking in multiple areas, which caused the leaking. He also noted mold growth due to the excessive moisture in the area.
Our inspector mentioned that forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interacted with the soil around their home and the soil expanded. That expansion and water pressure resulted in constant inward force on the foundation wall until it could no longer support the pressure, causing cracking and bowing. In order to give this problem the permanent fix it needed, installing our PowerBrace System was a must!
Along with the PowerBrace, our inspector also suggested a few of our waterproofing products and the homeowners agreed that these products were best for their basement as well!
Products Installed:
PowerBrace System: The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.
WaterGuard System: Designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint
SuperSump Plus: This reliable pump can pump up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour!
CleanSpace Wall System: Creates an effective moisture and vapor barrier. The wall covering forces all wall seepage and moisture to flow into your perimeter drain system. The white poly surface eliminates the need to paint basement walls, providing a bright, stain-resistant finish that never needs repainting or maintenance.
The homeowners now have a basement they can use for storage and don't have to worry about mold growth affecting their health!

This customer in Cherokee, AL had issues with foundational sinking on their home. When the soils underneath your foundation fail to support the weight of your home, the foundation will begin to settle unevenly, and cracks will appear. As vertical cracks form and the wall or corner of the house begins to rotate, you will typically see cracks that are wider at the top or bottom. To stop the sinking and lift the structure back up, we installed 5 Helical Piers around the foundation where the issues were located.
