The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had shifting floor joists and humidity problems which were resulting in sagging floors and poor air quality. We were able to encapsulate the whole crawlspace with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SmartJacks to support the sagging floors. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels to help the owner save money on energy, 

The floors above this crawl space in Lawrenceburg, KY, were sinking. This issue occurred for two reasons: the floor joists became weak from prolonged moisture exposure, and the framing in this foundation had an inadequate support system. To fix the crawl space, we installed our SmartJack crawl space support system to lift the floors back up. Our SmartJack system is able to support heavy loads by distributing the weight of the home evenly across the floor. Once we finished the installation, the homeowner immediately tested the newly supported floors above the space, and they were very pleased.

This basement wall in Lawrenceburg, KY, was bowing inwards, as evidence by the horizontal crack running along the wall. We braced the wall with our PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall. These braces are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, as these galvanized steel beams were designed by engineers to hold extreme loads back horizontally. These braces were also designed with different top brackets, which helps us connect the tops of the braces to the floor joists in the ceiling, depending on if the joists run parallel or perpendicular to the wall. You may also notice that we aligned the wall with our vapor barrier, as we also waterproofed this basement as well.

This graveled floor crawl space in Liberty, KY was in need of an encapsulation to keep moisture out. we installed 800 square feet of our drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, our SmartSump sump pump with a battery back up, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and our SilverGlo wall insulation. All of these products will keep this crawl space dry, clean, well insulated, and healthy. The homeowners almost immediately noticed healthier breathing air after the job was completed. 

This home's pretty side walk and drive way were becoming old and contained large gaps and cracks, something we aimed to fix. We were able to PolyLevel lift specific parts of the concrete to raise all the slabs to be on the same level. We then sealed the gaps with NexusPro sealant. These concrete slabs are repaired and protected now.
