Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Are these photos from actual Cornerstone jobs?+
Yes, every before/after pair on this page is a real Cornerstone job completed for a Southern Indiana or Louisville metro homeowner. We do not use stock photography or manufacturer-supplied images — if you see it here, our crew did the work.
Can I see more photos of a specific problem type?+
Yes — our gallery has additional photos organized by service type, and we can bring job-specific photos to your free inspection if you want to see how we handled a situation similar to yours. Just ask; there is no shortage of examples.
How long does a typical foundation repair or waterproofing job take?+
Most single-system jobs — interior waterproofing, carbon fiber strap installation, sump pump replacement, crack injection — are completed in one to two days. Larger scopes with multiple services or significant excavation take longer. Your inspector gives you a realistic timeline in writing before any work is scheduled.
Do you do this kind of work on my home?+
Almost certainly yes. We handle foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, drainage, concrete work, and masonry across a full range of home ages, styles, and sizes. From 1940s block-foundation homes to newer construction, the same diagnostic process applies.
Can you give me an estimate based on before/after photos of my problem?+
We cannot — and anyone who does is guessing. Photos are useful for ruling options in or out, but an accurate estimate requires an onsite inspection to check soil, drainage, access, wall condition, and related factors that photos cannot show. The inspection is free and it is the only way we give a real number.
