The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This home had some large cracks in its basement, allowing water to seep in. We installed FlexiSpan for the cracks, effectively stopping water from coming by the cracks. However, water was also coming up through the floor. To fix this, we installed WaterGuard and a Super Sump. Lastly, we installed BrightWall paneling, giving the basement a nice finished look. The owner can now finish the basement however they like, without having to worry about water damage. 

The owner of this home had a sinking crawl space that was resulting in sagging floors. In the "before" picture you can see their old jacks were not adjustable, meaning they could not change the height of the jacks to adjust for the sinking crawl space. Their old jacks were also rusting and becoming weaker. Luckily, our SmartJacks are able to be adjusted throughout time, countering the sinking crawl space effect. They are also a lot stronger and durable than the old ones, and will not rust. 

This crawl space had ground water leaking from just underneath the floor. We installed a perimeter drainage system consisting of perforated pipes placed in trenches backfilled with gravel, all connected to a SmartSump sump pump. We then installed drainage matting and CleanSpace liner over the floor of the crawl space. We then hooked up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the pump. We also insulated with SilverGlo panels over the CleanSpace on the walls. 

This front porch had settled pretty far down into the contracted soil, which was no so sightly. The settling process also disturbed their gutters, soffit, columns, and their steps. Since this porch slab was about 2 feet thick, our PolyLevel foam lifting method could not be used to lift it back up. Instead, we used our helical piers to not only stabilize the front porch, but to raise it as well. The piers are driven deep into stable soil which ensures the porch won't settle any more. The piers also have a hydraulic component that allowed us to lift this heavy structure. After the job, the homeowners are now able to repair anything on the porch that the settling process damaged, and they won't have to worry about settling any longer. 

This homeowner was tired of having to walk around their house with a coat on during the winter. They also had a bit of a moisture problem in the basement from water leakage. Moisture in a home can make heating and cooling the air much more difficult, so we suggested to the homeowner two things; We install our waterproofing system in the problematic area, and we install the best insulation panels we have. These insulation panels are called Basement to Beautiful, and they are perfect for not just insulating your basement, but for also preparing your basement for finished walls.
