The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

In Williamstown, drought conditions brought in the Fall of 2024 have exaggerated the effects of settling, resulting in many houses to sink. For this house, we installed piers on the footers to transfer the weight of the home onto stable load-bearing soils. We then raised the foundation using hydraulics, which effectively closed the gap seen in the before picture.

Before: This crawl space in Williamstown, Kentucky, was dusty, humid, and unprotected — the kind of environment that invites mold, moisture damage, and poor air quality. The homeowner was concerned about the long-term impact on their home and reached out for a permanent solution.

After: We transformed the space with a full CleanSpace® vapor barrier encapsulation, sealing off the crawl space from the earth. To manage water, we installed drainage matting, perforated drain lines, and a SmartSump® system for reliable water removal. A dehumidifier was added to keep humidity in check, and we finished the job with SilverGlo® insulation panels along the walls to improve energy efficiency.

The result is a clean, dry, and protected crawl space — and a much healthier home above.

This family in Corinth, Kentucky, had a lovely sunroom, but the concrete floor started to sink. They tried to make the space more comfortable by placing linoleum on the floor, but that only concealed the real problem. Finally, they called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky and got a free estimate. We were able to lift and seal the concrete using our expansive foam jacking process. The family was able to rearrange the sunroom and make it more comfortable afterwards. 

This crawl space was open to the earth, and as well all know, was allowing moisture from the dirt to slowly deteriorate the newer crawl space. These customers made a good call by completing this project early on in the crawl space's life. The Clean Space moisture barrier and the Smart Jack posts will be keeping this crawl space new looking for a long long time. 

This home's back porch was sinking into the soil by a couple inches. We raised it back to the height it started at by using PolyLevel foam.
