The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

We installed a full waterproofing system for this homeowner in Waco, Kentucky. We also included a full perimeter vapor barrier system, which will help drain leaks from the wall down to the subfloor drains. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will also cover up the stains, cracks, and musty smells emitting from the walls. The result of this project was a very happy homeowner who was ready to transform their basement into something greater than just storage space! 

When we gave a free inspection for this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we noticed a main beam needed a little extra support holding up the floor joists above it, so we recommended we install a SmartJack post. This post is covered in galvanized steel to prevent rusting. Not only were we able to waterproof this basement, but we were able to straighten out their floors as well! 

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we installed our most secure sump pump system, the TripleSafe, in the lowest graded part of the basement. This sump will take all the water that the WaterGuard subfloor drains channel to it, and safely discharge it away from the foundation of the home. The TripleSafe comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one in case the power goes out. Like all of our sumps, it comes with an airtight lid, an alarm system, and an airtight floor drain.

The soil under this Stanton, KY, home was settling, causing a gap to appear between the bottom of their brick wall and the block foundation. We were able to raise the foundation by utilizing helical piers, which effectively transferred the weight of the home to load-bearing soil. We were then able to raise the foundation with hydraulics, which helped close the gap.

This concrete slab in Stanton, KY, had settled into the ground, causing the porch to slope aggressively down and away from the front door. If you look closely at the before picture, you can see that the homeowner had to wedge a brick between the column and the slab to support the roof overhang above the porch. We went out and injected our PolyLevel foam beneath the slab in order to lift and level the concrete back to where it was poured originally. After we restored the porch, we then lifted the sidewalk to match the newly transformed porch slab. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and most of all, not having to worry about their overhanging roof's structural soundness.
