The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

As we see with most bowed walls, there was a large horizontal crack in the block wall just below the frost line. You see, when water freezes underground outside your foundation, it causes the water to expand and push inwards towards your basement. Our repair is simple, but very effective. Our steel I-beams are very unique in their design and strength compared to most other steel beam options. Our PowerBraces, as we call them, are made of a high strength steel that prevents rust and other types of failures that you see with other I-beams. They are also designed to prevent damage to your floor joists and floors through weight dissipation. Lastly, they are also able to turn bowed walls straight again over time under the right circumstances. If you think this is a method you may be interested in then call us today for a free inspection!

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we also made sure to waterproof the hatchway as well. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter of the basement and hatchway, and we covered the walls in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is our most economical wall option, but it is able to completely transform the look and feel of your basement. It's made with an antimicrobial material, keeping the space smelling fresh. The CleanSpace tucks into the WaterGuard wall flange, allowing moisture to seep down into the drainage system. The result is a new basement feel!

We installed a white Clean Space liner across the floor and walls of this customers crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls, a SmartSump sump pump, and a Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier. 

The sidewalk leading up to this home in Mount Sterling, KY, had a huge gap in it, which could cause someone to trip. We leveled out the gap by injecting all the sunken parts of the concrete with our PolyLevel foam. Our foam is super light, strong, and clean, unlike other mudjacking alternatives. Once all the slabs were stabilized and even, we then sealed the gaps with our NexusPro joint sealant. This sealant really transforms the overall look of the concrete, and it really helps the concrete last longer. The homeowner was super relieved to have the tripping hazard removed, and thought of the boost in curb appeal as an added bonus. 

In Clay City, Kentucky, the homeowner faced an unlevel sidewalk, posing safety risks and decreasing curb appeal. As you can see in the before photo, certain sections were noticeably sunken. Our team addressed this by utilizing the PolyLevel® system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam to accurately lift and stabilize the concrete slabs. To prevent future issues, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant, effectively sealing cracks and joints. The after photo showcases the polished, level surface that not only enhances safety but also sustains the structure’s integrity over time.
