The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

We replaced this customers sump pump in Lexington, KY, to improve their foundations waterproofing efficiency. You may also notice that we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier across the block wall to help control moisture seepage coming in from the leaky foundation. Lastly, the old waterproofing system was hooked up to exterior drains, which failed overtime from sitting in the "mud-zone." We replaced the drainage system with our patented interior system, which includes our WaterGuard subfloor drains across the perimeter of the basement. Our WaterGuard drains sit above the "mud-zone" on top of the footing of the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their waterproofing system just received a huge upgrade.

One of the most frustrating issues we encounter is the continued use of outdated and ineffective crawl space construction methods—often a result of outdated building codes and insufficient regulation. The crawl space is a critical component of any home’s structure and overall health, yet despite decades of research and proven advancements, many homes are still being built with vented, dirt-floored, and fiberglass-insulated crawl spaces that simply do not stand the test of time.

Such was the case for a homeowner in Lexington, KY, whose relatively new home was already showing signs of serious crawl space deterioration. When they reached out to us, we explained the wealth of research supporting modern, closed crawl space systems and the long-term value they provide. After reviewing their options, the homeowner decided to move forward with a professional crawl space repair.

We began work the following week, and upon completion, their home was equipped with a properly treated crawl space designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce moisture issues, and significantly extend the life of the home.

The side of this pool in Lexington, Kentucky had some tripping hazards form overtime. We fixed the gaps in the uneven slabs by carefully injecting our PolyLevel foam underneath all the sunken slabs to level the area out. Our PolyLevel foam is minimally invasive, and only requires us to drill pea-sized holes in the slabs. These holes are then patched with a similar concrete color. The homeowner was happy there was such an easy fix to repair their poolside concrete. 

The owner of this home wanted her crawlspace encapsulated because her nativity figures needed proper protection against mold and humidity. We were able to encapsulate her crawlspace with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will block moisture out of the crawl space. We also insulated her crawl space, which will help keep her home warm during the Winter. Now that she has a healthy crawl space, she won't have to worry about her personal items becoming damaged any longer.
