The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

The front steps leading up to this home had settled into the ground, making for some awkward steps for these homeowners in Nicholasville, KY. We smoothed out the steps and the surrounding concrete slabs with our foam jacking method. Finished in less than a couple hours, these homeowners were able to walk on the steps right away thanks to the foams quick curing properties. 

This crawl space in Nicholasville, KY, was damp, uninsulated, and contributing to uncomfortable indoor air conditions. The exposed soil and concrete walls left the home vulnerable to moisture, mold, and energy loss.

We installed our 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and walls, paired with SilverGlo insulation panels to help seal and condition the space. The result: a clean, dry, insulated crawl space that now works for the home—not against it.

In Sadieville, KY, a homeowner faced the serious issue of their property sinking into the ground, especially at the corner of the home. This foundation settlement posed a risk to the structural integrity of the entire building. At The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky, we addressed the problem expertly and efficiently by installing our Helical Pier System. These engineered steel piers securely anchor into stable soil, stopping further settlement. We were also able to lift the foundation back towards its original position by using hydraulics, effectively closing the gap between the siding of the home and the foundation. With our solution, the home is now stable and secure once again.

This homeowner had a sidewalk in front of their home that was sinking into the ground. We used a Polylevel injection system to raise the concrete sidewalk for the homeowner. In the After photo, there is no longer a space between the step and the sidewalk, and you can also see that the corner of the sidewalk is no longer flush with the ground, and has been lifted up to the correct height. 

Basement egress windows can do a lot for your home. The biggest benefit for most homeowners is the ability to provide an emergency exit strategy for people living in the basement. It is required to have an egress window in the basement containing a bedroom. It also boosts the home value in this scenario, as it is also required to have an egress to count a basement bedroom on a home listing. Our basement windows also allow for lots of natural sunlight to reach the basement, which makes a very noticeable difference for darker basements.

Note: The dirt placed around the window well in the after picture will settle over time, as the ground takes time to compact the soil naturally.
