The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted us to help stop mold from growing in their crawl space. We waterproofed, then encapsulated with a moisture barrier, then sealed out the old vents, then we installed a world class dehumidifier.

This basement in Tompkinsville, Kentucky had a block wall foundation that was leaking water. The homeowner had big plans to one day renovate this basement into a comfy living space. In order for this dream to come true for them, they were first going to have to waterproof it to make sure no water could come and ruin their finished touches. We installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system that included vapor barriers around the walls, subfloor drains, a trench drain at the steps, a SuperSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. With this system, the homeowners are free to do whatever they please with the basement to make it a comfortable living space. The CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls can also have finished walls installed over them, ensuring everything stays dry.

This basement was growing mold and musty odors, which was a problem for the inhabitants above it. We decided we were going to help them get rid of these problems once and for all. We installed WaterGuard around the whole perimeter interior, a TripleSafe sump pump attached with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, trench drains, discharge lines with LawnScape outlets, and BrightWall around the whole basement. This family was happy with the outcome. 

This driveway in Mount Eden, KY, had spider-web shaped cracks in the concrete surface. This was a problem, as the cracks invited water to seep down below into the soil underneath the driveway. This driveway had a catch basin at the bottom because the grade of the land sent lots of ground water towards the driveway. When water is able to infiltrate the soil beneath a driveway, it can cause the soil to wash away, leaving empty space for the driveway to settle into. We first lifted the driveway with our PolyLevel foam injections to fill the voids underneath the concrete. We then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to boost the appeal of the driveway and to prevent further soil washout from occurring. No doubt this project will extend the lifespan of the driveway exponentially. 

This crawl space underneath a church in Ghent, KY, was struggling with moisture issues. If you look closely at the attached "before" picture, you'll notice that the ducts are dripping with condensation. This wet air was not just causing musty smells, but it was also starting to deteriorate the framing and the ductwork below the church. To repair the crawl space, we started by wrapping the floor with our dimpled drainage matting, which will help make the crawl space more comfortable to crawl around in after we finished the project. We then wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will help seal moisture out of the space. We finished the project by sealing all the vents and installing a dehumidifier. After the project was finished, the churchgoers noticed an immediate change in the smell and feel, even on the first floor of the building.
