The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

In Wilmore, KY, this homeowner’s front porch had started to settle, creating an uneven gap where the concrete slab met the brick wall. To restore both the look and safety of the entryway, we lifted the porch using PolyLevel®, our quick and precise concrete lifting system. Once the slab was level, we sealed the joint between the brick wall and concrete with NexusPro®, a durable, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and further settling. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see how we brought this front porch back to life!

This crawl space in Wilmore, KY, had wet fiberglass sprawled out all across the floor. The fiberglass had absorbed too much moisture, causing it to become heavy and fall from the joists. The uncontrolled moisture had left the crawl space cold in the winter time and wet in the summer. We encapsulated the crawl space by tearing out all the fiberglass, wrapping the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels, and then sealing the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, (unpictured) to keep the trapped air inside this space dry as can be.

This slab foundation home in Stamping Ground, KY, was sinking into problematic soil causing the slab to sink by about 3/4 of an inch. Because the slab was light enough, we were able to raise it with our PolyLevel expansive foam jacking method. As you can see in the after picture, our foam was able to completely fill the void, and even lifted it back up a bit.

The owner of this new home wanted their new crawl space properly prepared for the future. We installed our standard crawl space repair system consisting of a SmartSump sump pump hooked up to a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace lining, drainage matting, and EverLast crawl space door. The result is a crawl space that is properly prepared for the future and will surely last a long, long time. 

Do you also have a monstrous gap between your sidewalk and front porch slabs? This occurs when your sidewalk sinks from soil shrinkage. Then, when there is a gap that forms, rain can then enter that gap and wash away all the soil from under the front porch. We stopped this process from occurring again by raising the slabs by injecting our industrial grade PolyLevel foam, which is a very clean process compared to mudjacking.
