The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This basement was in need of a waterproofing job and we were ready to help. We installed Waterguard around the perimeter of the basement, and a SuperSump sump pump to complete the job. 

When concrete slabs settle, they often create more problem than just one. This home had some settling concrete that created gaps in their driveway, sidewalk, and front porch. Settling concrete is a problem for many people. Here are the problems the homeowners were experiencing with their sinking concrete:

1. The gaps were an eyesore.

2. The gaps could easily cause someone to trip.

3. The cracks made the concrete more vulnerable to rain penetration, thus decreasing the expected lifespan of the concrete.

In order to fix all these problems, we decided to inject our polyurethane foam under all the sunken slabs. This foam is clean, strong, and quick settling, which makes it a better alternative than mudjacking. We then sealed all the thinned out cracks with our concrete sealant, which will prevent water from getting between the cracks again. The result was a happy homeowner. 

A Monticello, Kentucky homeowner was interested in having the crawl space encapsulated, a new sump pump system, and a dehumidifier to be added to the crawl space area.  

For crawl spaces that hold lots of air ducts, plumbing, and other utilities, it can be very beneficial to encapsulate them. With an encapsulation you can protect your utilities from freezing temperatures, rusting, pests, floods, and mold. Not only will this help you save big on energy bills, it will save you from costly repairs down the road. For this home in Nancy, KY, the homeowner thought getting their crawl space encapsulated was the right move too. We started by installing our waterproofing system with perforated pipes and three SmartSump sump pumps. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting, along with our SilverGlo insulation panels. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and sealed all the vents. The result is a protected crawl space that will save the homeowner on energy bills, and from costly repairs down the road.

One of the bigger projects in recent history, this home was due for a crawl space makeover. About 1,335 square feet of Clean Space was installed along the floors and walls to put it into perspective. On top of that, the home needed 4 rows of Smart Jacks to level and stabilize the saggy floor joists.  We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartSump sump pump, drainage tile, supplemental beams, SilverGlo insulation, an UltraSump battery backup system, and joist assist brackets. All in all, this project will be paid for itself in terms of savings on costly repairs, energy savings, and healthy breathing air. The customer was very happy with the transformation.
