The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

Crawl Spaces are susceptible to water leaks just like basements, and it's important to prevent them. We dug trenches around this crawl space's perimeter and installed perforated pipes in the trenches. We then backfilled the trenches with gravel, which will further help drain the water leaks. We then hooked the drains up to a SmartSump sump pump, which is a perfect size for this crawl space. No longer are there pools of water sitting in this crawl space!

This homeowner gave us a call because they were concerned with their wooden framing in their crawl space. The homeowner informed us that their crawl space was not that old, and they were pretty upset at the condition it was in. We informed them that they called us at the right time, because had they waited longer, the wood may have grown past the point of safe. We then told them more about our encapsulation process, and how it could save them lots of money in the long run by being able to save the wooden framing. We also informed them of one spot where the wooden frame could use a little extra support with one of our SmartJack posts. By installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier over some drainage matting, our SmartJack post, our SilverGlo foam insulation panels, our waterproofing system connected to a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system, we were able to guarantee they won't have to worry about the health of their wooden framing any longer. 

This basement had a lot of hydro static pressure coming from their foundation walls, resulting in bowed in walls and basement leaks. We fixed this by installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system and installing PowerBraces over the bowed walls. When you waterproof a basement, it helps relieve that water pressure off of the walls, helping the PowerBraces out even further. We waterproofed by installing WaterGuard drains under the basement floor along the perimeter, and hooked the drains up to a SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels that cover the dirty walls and help filter water coming from the walls to the drainage system. 

This basement had some mold stains and wet spots that showed up every time it rained. In order to stop the moisture problem, we installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing system, as well as a full CleanSpace moisture barrier installation. 

We installed a full waterproofing system for this homeowner in Waco, Kentucky. We also included a full perimeter vapor barrier system, which will help drain leaks from the wall down to the subfloor drains. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will also cover up the stains, cracks, and musty smells emitting from the walls. The result of this project was a very happy homeowner who was ready to transform their basement into something greater than just storage space!
