The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

Water leaks had corrupted this basement causing stains, musty smells, and cracks. We relieved this basement in Gray, KY, by draining the foundation of hydrostatic pressure to bring comfort back to this basement. The two most important pieces to our waterproofing system are our subfloor WaterGuard drains and one of our sump pumps. The subfloor drains prevent clogging and help channel groundwater to the sump pump. The sump pump works efficiently to then discharge all the collected water far and away from the home. By relieving this basement of water pressure, the homeowners gained some peace of mind.

Before entering our care, this Jeffersonville, KY, home endured musty odors seeping from its crawl space, compromising both air quality and peace of mind. As vivid in the photos, we revolutionized this space by installing our CleanSpace liner to seal out moisture and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain crisp, dry air. Now, the crawl space not only looks immaculate but also secures the home above from unwanted smells and contributes to a healthier living environment.

This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, was dealing with moisture issues, as evidence by the attached before picture. The floor of the crawl space was muddied, and the air duct system was at risk of deterioration if the moisture was left untreated. We fixed the issue by encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, but the heart of the system relies on our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. You see, when you seal a crawl space off completely, (including the vents) you have to make sure the air stays conditioned so moisture doesn't become trapped in the space. Our SaniDry Sedona system runs automatically, and it is able to remove up to 99 pints of water out of the air in a day if needed be. The crawl space is now dry as a bone, and the homeowner noticed a difference in the air quality above the crawl space almost immediately. 

This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, needed a proper repair system to help control the humidity levels. We started the encapsulation by insulating the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels and by injecting spray foam over the rim joists. We then installed a dimpled waterproofing membrane across the crawl space floor, giving the CleanSpace vapor barrier we placed on top a raised, stable surface instead of sitting directly on the muddy ground. Next, we sealed the space with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the sealed space conditioned and as dry as can be. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.

Before the intervention by The Basement Doctor team, the homeowner faced a concerning issue: the main beam in their crawl space was compromised due to sinking concrete columns, leading to a sagging problem that threatened the integrity of their home. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the significant sagging posed a serious concern. Fortunate for this Owingsville, KY homeowner, our solution was at hand. We installed our innovative SmartJack system, a reliable and durable fix to reinforce the weakened structure. We also replaced the main beam, as it was too far gone. The 'after' photo showcases the remarkable transformation, bringing peace of mind and stability back to the homeowner's life. With our focus on providing a lasting solution and an exceptional customer experience, we're proud to restore not just homes, but homeowners' confidence.
