Our Services

Keep Water Out. Keep Strength In. KAE Solutions is a locally and family-owned company based in Hopwood, PA, and most of what we do comes down to those two jobs: keeping water out of basements and crawl spaces, and keeping foundations, walls and floors strong. We work on residential and commercial properties across Fayette County and Southwestern Pennsylvania. Each service has its own page, linked below, and every inspection and estimate is free.

Where Water Problems Start in Fayette County

Most of our work starts with water, and the ground here gives it plenty of chances. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for its Uniontown station give 44.35 inches of precipitation a year and about 103 days that freeze and thaw. The USDA's soil survey rates 88.6% of Fayette County's soil acres "Very limited" for dwellings with basements, and about 31.7% of the county lies in PA DEP's "Underground Mining Area". The houses are old, too: the median home in Uniontown and Connellsville was built in 1942, on stone, brick or block foundations that were never meant to keep a living space dry. That is why one problem often needs more than one service: water that gets into a wall can crack it, and a crack lets in more water.

Basement Waterproofing and Drainage

Basement waterproofing covers interior and exterior systems for poured concrete, block and stone foundations. French drains, inside along the footing or outside around the house, collect ground water before it reaches the floor, and sump pumps lift it out and away from the house. A lot of basement water starts on the roof, so drainage systems covers gutter lines, downspout extensions and standing water in the yard.

Foundation Repair and Crawl Spaces

Foundation repair includes reinforcing bowing basement walls with carbon fiber wall straps, one of the least invasive ways to stabilize a wall and in many cases done without large excavation. Our foundation repair comes with transferable warranties. Foundation crack repair seals the wall and floor cracks where water and soil push in. Under the house, crawl space encapsulation closes the crawl space off from the ground with a sealed vapor barrier, and crawl space repair covers moisture control, insulation, and support beam installation, repair and replacement for sagging floors and wood rot. For major foundation movement, a structural engineer is the right first call.

Mold Removal, Restoration and Storm Damage

Once the water is stopped, the damage it left behind needs attention. Mold removal treats and clears mold and mildew from basements, crawl spaces and the wood above them. Basement restoration repairs water damage to walls, framing and floors and puts the space back together. Storm damage repair covers the work after a bad storm, from flooded basements to shingle and siding repair.

Demolition, Haul Away and Referrals

Demolition covers all varieties, residential and commercial: interior tear-outs, kitchens, bathrooms, walls, sheds, decks and full-scale demo jobs. We clean up and haul it all away, and we do junk removal with a 6x10 dump trailer. Demolition is often the first step of a bigger job, such as tearing out a wet finished basement before the drains go in. Some jobs need a trade we don't offer. If it's something outside our scope, we won't leave you hanging: we refer you to a contractor who does that work.
