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! 

This homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty basement and growing concerns about cracks forming along their foundation walls. Water was seeping in around the edges of the basement floor during heavy rains, and the walls had visible signs of cracking and bowing. The combination of moisture and structural stress was only getting worse with time. Our team installed a complete basement repair system to protect the home for the long term. We placed WaterGuard drainage along the perimeter to collect incoming water and direct it safely to a SuperSump pump, keeping the basement dry. To address the foundation wall cracks and prevent further bowing, we reinforced the walls with CarbonArmor® straps, a durable, low-profile solution that stabilizes the walls without major excavation. The basement is now dry, stable, and protected — giving the homeowner peace of mind no matter the weather.

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.
