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 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 wet crawl space in Eminence, KY, was falling apart due to excess moisture. The open vents and the dirt floor in the crawl space were allowing moisture to damage the floor joists and the fiberglass insulation. Mold was also a concern, as musty smells were emitting up into their living space above. By encapsulating it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, our SilverGlo insulation, our drainage system, and our SmartSump sump pump, we were able to eliminate the moisture and insulate the crawl space. We also strengthened the floor joists by adding wooden sister joists, and by installing our SmartJack crawl space posts. We then topped it all off by sealing all the vents and joists with vent covers and spray foam insulation. The result is a crawl space that will provide the homeowners with clean air, savings on energy, and savings on costly repairs. 

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.

This crawlspace had shifting floor joists and humidity problems which were resulting in sagging floors and poor air quality. We were able to encapsulate the whole crawlspace with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SmartJacks to support the sagging floors. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels to help the owner save money on energy,
