K & G Contracting

K&G Contracting, Inc. was formed in 1955 by Joe Kunderer and Charlie Garleb. In 1993 Joe retired and Bill Eaton assumed the leadership role in the company by purchasing Charlie's half of the company. Bill started working for K&G in 1975 after graduating from The Ohio State University with an undergraduate degree in business.

In 1959 there was a flood in Columbus that caused basement walls to bow, buckle and cave in. As a solution, Joe and Charlie began installing a series of steel "I" beams along the bowing wall to prevent additional movement. Pressure grouting is a cost-effective alternative to concrete slab replacement.

The soil around your foundation places a great deal of pressure on your basement walls. This pressure will vary based on the types of soil that are present, how much moisture is in the soil, and how far underground your foundation extends. Other factors, such as hydrostatic pressure, expansive clay soils, frost, incorrect gutter systems, and a poorly graded lawn can also contribute to foundation issues.

It is important to make sure your basement is kept dry, safe, and healthy. Doing so can help to preserve the home's structural integrity and prevent additional problems in and around the home.

Water is able to get into the basement in a variety of ways, including over the top of the foundation, through the cove joint, through leaking wall or floor cracks, through the basement window, through the cove joint (where the wall and floor meet), or the problem could be related to a plumbing issue.Moisture here can cause a lot of expensive damage, including wood rot to support beams and floor joists.
