The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This basement had a bowing wall that was cracking horizontally. In order to remedy this, we installed 10 eight feet PowerBraces along the wall. The PowerBraces are so strong that the owner wont have to worry about the wall for the future.

This homeowner in Winchester, KY, had a tarp over the crack in their poolside concrete so that no one could trip over it. We repaired the crack by jacking the sunken slab with our PolyLevel foam. By drilling pea-sized holes and injecting the foam underneath the slab, we were able to level the area out. We then sealed the gaps and cracks using NexusPro sealant. This sealant is perfect for poolside cracks, as it has a UV resistant formula, unlike other sealants. The result was a happy homeowner who no longer had to throw a tarp over the crack everytime they had guests over to swim. 

This below grade garage was receiving a lot of hydro-static pressure around certain walls. When this happens, the walls tend to bow in and cracks begin to form from the large amount of water that is sitting around the foundation. We first relieved the pressure by drilling weeping holes into the trenches where the waterproofing system will go. WaterGuard was then placed into the trenches, connected to a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line. We then placed CleanSpace walls and PowerBraces to hold the bowing walls up. The CleanSpace walls function as a funnel for moisture seeping through the walls and the CleanSpace also looks cosmetically pleasing as well. 

This homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty basement and growing concerns about cracks forming along their foundation walls. Water was seeping in around the edges of the basement floor during heavy rains, and the walls had visible signs of cracking and bowing. The combination of moisture and structural stress was only getting worse with time. Our team installed a complete basement repair system to protect the home for the long term. We placed WaterGuard drainage along the perimeter to collect incoming water and direct it safely to a SuperSump pump, keeping the basement dry. To address the foundation wall cracks and prevent further bowing, we reinforced the walls with CarbonArmor® straps, a durable, low-profile solution that stabilizes the walls without major excavation. The basement is now dry, stable, and protected — giving the homeowner peace of mind no matter the weather.

When installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system, it's important to have a trench drain near doors leading outside. Stairs outside these doors are prone to ushering water towards your basement floor, and so its important to capture this water with a trench drain before it reaches the basement. This trench drain is connected to WaterGuard drains, which go beneath the floor and up against the basement walls. The drainage system as a whole then leads all the water to a SuperSump sump pump.
