The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

If you are looking for a home renovation projection to have done, a crawl space encapsulation may be the perfect choice for you. If your current crawl space has high humidity, sagging floors, dirt and pests, or groundwater leaks, an encapsulation may be the best investment you could make for your home. In terms of getting your money back through prevented structural issues, lower energy bills, and better air quality in the home, you can't make a better investment for your home. 

This home in Georgetown, Kentucky had a foundational problem that could lead to complete destruction of their home, not to mention it was also causing flooding. After we inspected the problems, we suggested power braces and a waterproofing system to ensure a dry and healthy home. The family agreed and we began our installation process. Power braces, made of high-quality steel, were expertly placed along the basement walls to reinforce and support the foundation. Their adjustable design allowed for potential corrective measures, ensuring long-term stability. Alongside the power braces, the team installed a sump pump system in the basement floor along with a drain system. This smart solution would efficiently collect and redirect any incoming water away from the home's foundation, preventing water buildup and flooding. With the power braces and sump pump working in harmony, the home was now fortified against foundation issues and water woes, making it a safe and dry haven for her family and belongings.

This crawlspace was caving in from the roof because the beams that held it up were sinking into the ground over time. SmartJacks apply strength to the crawlspace and are special because they can be adjusted over time in case the crawlspace sinks even more. 

This concrete sidewalk had sunken into the soil, causing minor cracks to appear. We raised the slabs with our foam jacking method, which is able to raise and stabilize the slabs within an hour. To see exactly how far we raised the slabs, look towards the gap between the brick at the bottom of the front door and the concrete sidewalk in the before picture, and compare it to the after photo.

This wet crawl space was falling apart before we encapsulated it with all of our products in Georgetown, Kentucky. After we sealed the entire crawl space by surrounding it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the homeowners were very pleased with the result. Not only does the crawl space look great, but it is now functionally great and will protect this homes foundation.
