The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

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.

We first leveled out some of the slightly sunken slabs in this driveway with our PolyLevel foam jacking method in Dry Ridge, KY. After we stabilized the slabs, we then sealed all the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant. Our NexusPro sealant is UV resistant and will keep water and debris out of the control joints, all while still allowing natural expansion and contraction in the concrete. We then topped off the project by spraying our SealantPro chemical all across the surface of the driveway, "SealantPro dramatically extends concrete's lifespan by defending it from damage caused by water and chemical absorption, which can result in pitting, flaking and staining. Unlike other sealants that degrade over time, SealantPro penetrates the slab and chemically bonds with the concrete itself, while a temporary colorant indicates which surfaces have been treated. In just one professional application, SealantPro forms a clear, strong and permanent barrier that prevents water and other substances from penetrating the concrete." The result of this project is a dramatic increase in the expected lifespan of the homes outside concrete and a major boost in curb appeal.
