The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

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. 

This homeowner in Lexington, KY, just recently purchased their new home, and they wanted to be able to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather without having to look at their wonky patio slabs. They gave us a call to repair it with our PolyLevel foam method, which took just under a couple hours to complete. After our crew leveled out the slabs by injecting them with PolyLevel foam, they then sealed all the joints with our NexusPro sealant. Now that the job is completed, the new homeowner can feel free to set up a nice table on their patio without having to shim the legs. 

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.

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.
