It’s time to make your vision a reality because you’re living right on top of the answer – basement finishing! Over the years basement remodeling has become more popular as homeowners look to transform the extra space to be more inviting. It’s actually proven that finishing a basement increases the home’s value, so why wait on the opportunity to take your home to the next level?
Anytime you’re considering a remodel within the home, it’s wise to think one step ahead and have the space professionally inspected first. There are plenty of hidden or overlooked issues that will put a remodeling team on hold like toxins, pests, and unsafe structural integrity. By getting ahead of the game with a professional inspection, you’ll protect yourselves and the remodelers from health risks or injuries. Home inspectors will be able to identify any issues that would impact basement finishing. Some of the common hazards found in many homes today include black mold, deteriorating foundations, pests and more.

Basement Repair Method
Depending on where your basement is damaged, and how extensive it is, we may recommend a combination of a few repair options.
Foundation Leveling
Helical Piers are Installed on Basement Foundation
We can stabilize the sinking portions of your basement foundation by driving helical piers (also known as helical piles) into the load-bearing soils beneath it. Once these piers are load bearing, we attach them to heavy duty brackets under your foundation footer, then jack that portion of your home back to level
Foundation Piers for Basement Wall Repair
While helical piers are typically installed on foundations, Kent Foundation Repair also uses them to prevent or stop lateral movement of basement walls. To do this, we install the steel helical piers horizontally (though angled downward to achieve greater torque), and fasten the steel plates to the basement wall, spacing them apart as recommended to reinforce and stabilize the wall.
Reinforcement Strips for Basement Wall Repair
We use a patented carbon fiber solution. This is the most unobtrusive and efficient way to correct bowing basement walls. The Reinforcer is made of material tested at 10 times the strength of steel. These low profile reinforcement strips act like brackets, pulling in vertically on bowing basement walls to stabilize them and work counter to the incoming lateral pressure.
