The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This homeowner was tired of having to walk around their house with a coat on during the winter. They also had a bit of a moisture problem in the basement from water leakage. Moisture in a home can make heating and cooling the air much more difficult, so we suggested to the homeowner two things; We install our waterproofing system in the problematic area, and we install the best insulation panels we have. These insulation panels are called Basement to Beautiful, and they are perfect for not just insulating your basement, but for also preparing your basement for finished walls. If you want to learn why these panels are the best for pre-finishing your basement, click here. 

This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.

Before waterproofing, this Harrodsburg, KY basement was plagued by persistent dampness and musty odors. After our intervention, the space is now dry, bright, and protected. We installed BrightWall® panels, which not only enhance the basement's appearance but also direct wall seepage into the drainage system, preventing moisture intrusion. The WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system was added to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint, ensuring efficient water management. To handle water removal, we implemented the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, featuring three pumps that provide continuous operation even during power outages, offering unparalleled protection against flooding.

This poured foundation in Owenton, KY, was failing due to built up hydrostatic pressure. This pressure had caused the wall to move, and eventually crack. The crack would leak from time to time, and it was seemingly growing larger by the season. We ended up repairing the wall by securing it with a helical tieback system. By drilling rods laterally through the wall into the soil beyond the basement, and then securing the wall with anchor plates, we were able to stabilize the wall, preventing it from moving any further. This process then allowed us to seal the leaky crack with our FlexiSpan system. Our FlexiSpan system drains the leak down underneath the floor slab by the use of gravity. This sealing and wall repair system will keep this wall dry and secure.
