The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

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.

When concrete slabs settle, they often create more problem than just one. This home had some settling concrete that created gaps in their driveway, sidewalk, and front porch. Settling concrete is a problem for many people. Here are the problems the homeowners were experiencing with their sinking concrete:

1. The gaps were an eyesore.

2. The gaps could easily cause someone to trip.

3. The cracks made the concrete more vulnerable to rain penetration, thus decreasing the expected lifespan of the concrete.

In order to fix all these problems, we decided to inject our polyurethane foam under all the sunken slabs. This foam is clean, strong, and quick settling, which makes it a better alternative than mudjacking. We then sealed all the thinned out cracks with our concrete sealant, which will prevent water from getting between the cracks again. The result was a happy homeowner. 

This concrete pad set in the driveway for this homeowner had a big crack down the middle. The soil underneath the slab washed out near the entrance to the garages foundation, resulting in the slab to bend and crack towards the garage entrance. In order to fix this slab we injected polyurethane foam under the sunken part, which raised it even with the rest of the driveway again. We then sealed the crack to make sure water can't penetrate the concrete. The result is a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry about tripping on the crack any longer!
