The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This crawl space was showing signs of moisture, as seen in the before picture below. Mold spores were beginning to rot away at the wood, so the customer wanted to block out moisture. We installed Clean Space all over the crawl space to properly encapsulate. We also installed a SmartSump which is equipped with an alarm to warn of power outages and plumbing issues. It also connects to the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which collects lots of water through the moisture in the air. The customer also opted for SilverGlo insulation, the shiny foam panels seen in the picture. 

The original sump in this Jamestown basement was replaced with a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump system comes with an airtight lid, a WaterWatch Alarm, an airtight floor drain, and 3 functioning pumps including a battery backed one.

In 2017, our trusted team visited a home in Bagdad, KY, for a foundation check, and honesty led us to reassure the homeowner their foundation was stable, saving them from unnecessary work. By 2024, their priority shifted to a chilly crawl space. As seen in the photo, we transformed this vital but overlooked space from cold and uninviting to a warm, energy-efficient area using our CleanSpace encapsulation, SilverGlow insulation, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Remarkably, comfort and peace of mind were restored, showcasing our commitment to lasting solutions and unparalleled customer journeys.

In Albany, KY, the homeowner faced significant issues with excessive moisture in their crawl space, as seen in the before photo. The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky expertly addressed this by installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe sump pump, ensuring a dry environment. Notice in the after photos how these advanced solutions create a clean, secure space, reflecting our commitment to high-quality crawl space repair and protection.

When a block foundation wall bows inward, the first sign of movement is usually horizontal cracking between the mortar. This horizontal crack is normally right where the frost line is. The frost line is how deep the ground freezes in the winter. Winter cycles can exert a lot of external pressure on a foundation wall, and if not cared for, can cause walls to collapse. For this basement in Pleasureville, Kentucky, we installed our PowerBrace beam system to ensure the wall stays upright. Our PowerBraces are coated in zinc, which prevents rusting. They also come with special floor joist brackets to prevent damage to the floor joists in the ceiling. Lastly, PowerBraces may even be able to straighten walls back out over time under the right circumstances. After the project was completed, the homeowner was relieved to know that their basement wall is now safe.
