The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This crawl space was having some moisture issues, as seen on the walls and the floor joists in the before picture. Efflorescence, the white chalky substance seen on the foundation walls are a result of water vapor leaking through the porous cinder blocks, where it is most commonly found. The mold on the floor joists can also lead to rot and structural issues, so encapsulating to block out moisture is a good idea. Here we installed CleanSpace walls and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, two products that will guarantee almost any crawlspace that moisture will not be a problem. CleanSpace walls completely seal out water vapor and dirt, while the SaniDry dehumidifier will further prevent moisture in the air. 

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. 

The Plummer family of Corinth, Kentucky, had a lovely sunroom, but the concrete floor started to sink. They tried to make the space more comfortable by placing linolium on the floor. It wasn't doing the trick. Finally, they called The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky and got a free estimate. We were able to lift and seal the concrete. The family was able to rearrange the sunroom and make it more comfortable. 

We replaced this old sump pump with a new SuperSump in Paris, Kentucky. This sump is clean, neat, and can have items stacked on top of it.

Polylevel can be used to level a floor.  Polylevel uses an expandable foam that is injected under the slab.  The Foam expands and lifts the concrete slab.

In the before photo, the space between the floor and baseboard is larger than in the after photo.
