Towns We Serve

KAE Solutions is based at 103 Harvey St in Hopwood, PA, in Fayette County, next to Uniontown. We serve Fayette County and the surrounding areas of Southwestern Pennsylvania, for homes and commercial properties alike. The towns below each have their own page about their houses, the ground under them and their weather, and what that means for a basement. If your town isn't listed, call (724) 912-8151 to check.

Fayette County Towns We Serve

Uniontown is next door to Hopwood, and all of the city lies in PA DEP's "Underground Mining Area"; its median home was built in 1942. Connellsville has a median home from the same year, with 57.4% of its homes built before 1950, while about 26.7% of the city is undermined. Masontown is about 99.1% inside the mining layer, with a median home from 1952. Brownsville has the oldest houses on our list, a median of 1938 and 69.3% built before 1950, over ground that is about 85.9% undermined.

Hopwood itself is about 37.8% inside DEP's mining layer, with a median home from 1960. We also serve Fairchance, Smithfield, Perryopolis, Point Marion and towns across Fayette County.

Westmoreland County Towns We Serve

Mount Pleasant is where one of our Google reviews comes from: we found why water was getting into a basement and fixed it within the next day. About 86.1% of the borough is in DEP's mining layer, and its median home dates from 1953. Scottdale, between Connellsville and Mount Pleasant, has none of its area in that layer, so its basements are a water story, in houses with a median year built of 1946. Greensburg, the county seat and the largest town on our list with 14,741 people, is about 69.9% undermined, and its median home was built in 1957.

What Changes From Town to Town

The work is the same everywhere: find where the water or the movement comes from, then fix that. What changes is the starting point. More than half the homes in Uniontown, Connellsville and Scottdale were built before 1950, and houses that old often stand on stone, brick or early block foundations, in basements that were never meant to be living space. The undermined towns add a second question. Over old mines, cracks that open suddenly are a reason to call DEP's mine subsidence program first; we repair cracks and walls, and we don't diagnose mine subsidence.

Some things hold across the whole area. In Fayette County's soil survey, the water table comes within 2 ft of the surface at some point in the year on 42.6% of soil acres, so ground water pressing on basement walls is common from one end of the county to the other. That is what our interior and exterior drains, sump pumps and waterproofing are built around.

How a Visit Works

Call (724) 912-8151 or use the contact form; our Google listing shows us open 24 hours. We set a time, come out for a free inspection, look at the outside of the house and then the basement or crawl space, and tell you what we found and what we would do. Honest, straightforward advice. No pressure, no scare tactics. If the job needs a trade we don't offer, we'll tell you so and point you to a contractor who does it.

KAE Solutions is locally and family-owned, fully licensed and insured, a Pennsylvania registered home improvement contractor (PA203391), BBB Accredited with an A rating and a member of the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce. Everything we do is listed on our services page.
