The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This public library in Berea, KY, had a sidewalk with a tripping hazard. This sidewalk slab had sunken about 2 inches down and away from the adjacent patio slab, a pretty big liability for a public library with lots of foot traffic. We first lifted the slab closest to the patio slab to close out the gap between the two, and then we leveled out the rest of the sidewalk slabs so that every slab is level with one another. After leveling, we then sealed the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant. Our PolyLevel only takes ten minutes to cure, so the public got right back to being able to use this access door. 

This foundation wall in Berea, KY, was bowing in towards the basement. In fact, the wall had bowed so much that a large two inch horizontal crack had formed in the middle of the wall. To stabilize the wall, we used our helical tieback system. Our tiebacks were screwed through the wall laterally into the soil surrounding the basement. This soil gave us the counteractive force needed to save the wall. After securing the tiebacks into the soil, we then latched on our wall anchors to evenly spread out the counteractive force across the wall. Lastly, we also waterproofed the wall with our subfloor drains and a sump pump, as the basement was known to leak. 

This basement had an existing waterproofing system that eventually failed. We decided to replace their outdated system with our state-of-the-art interior perimeter system. The system we designed for this basement included our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, our SuperSump sump pump system, and our BrightWall wall paneling system. The WaterGuard was installed all around the entire perimeter of the basement, ensuring all possible entrances for water leaks are directed to the sump pump. Our SuperSump is able to discharge 2,280 gallons of water per hour. Our BrightWall panels cover all the stained walls and help channel leaks from the walls down into the subfloor drains. The result of this project is a clean, dry, beautiful basement.

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. 

We waterproofed this basement in Winchester, Kentucky, by using our patented WaterGuard subfloor drains. The basement was attached to the garage and sat a couple feet deeper than the garage, so it received all the floods. We wrapped the basement with our interior perimeter drains and directed them to a sump pump (unpictured) to help manage water intrusions. We also installed a grated trench drain at the base of the garage door to help capture any water that may run in from the garage floor. The result is a dry basement where the homeowner won't have to worry about it flooding any longer.
