The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This single concrete driveway slab was sinking into the hillside in Richmond, KY, before we raised and stabilized it with our PolyLevel foam jacking method. PolyLevel is an expansive foam that is much cleaner than alternative mud jacking methods. If this slab was mud jacked, you would see mud flow everywhere. Now that the void is filled and the slab is raised back to normal, the homeowner doesn't have to worry about their driveway cracking.

This home in Richmond, Kentucky was on the market, and a third party inspector recommended to the owner that we should install a vapor barrier in the crawl space to help sell the home. We started by removing all the debris from the space, including the existing, "vapor barrier." We used quotes to describe the disheveled plastic liner that was already in the space because it wasn't stopping outside vapor at all. Next, we wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is much sturdier, cleaner, and effective. We ended up using 1,860 sq ft of our patented product, and we made sure to tape the seams with our CleanSpace tape to ensure the space was sealed completely. The antimicrobial liner, similar to a pool liner, will make selling this home a whole lot easier than before.

This home was leaking water into the basement, which was frustrating for the owner. We were able to help by installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. This interior perimeter waterproofing system will keep this basement dry and clean for a long, long time. 

Crawl Spaces are susceptible to water leaks just like basements, and it's important to prevent them. We dug trenches around this crawl space's perimeter and installed perforated pipes in the trenches. We then backfilled the trenches with gravel, which will further help drain the water leaks. We then hooked the drains up to a SmartSump sump pump, which is a perfect size for this crawl space. No longer are there pools of water sitting in this crawl space!

This basement in Winchester, KY, was under significant hydrostatic pressure, which caused the foundation walls to bow inward and allowed water to seep in. To correct the problem, our team installed a full interior waterproofing system along with PowerBraces to stabilize the walls. By waterproofing the basement, we helped relieve water pressure behind the walls, and with the bracing, we ensured the wall won't ever move again laterally. The waterproofing system included WaterGuard perimeter drains installed beneath the basement floor and connected to a SuperSump pump for reliable water removal. To finish the project, we installed BrightWall panels that give the basement a clean, bright look while directing any wall moisture straight into the drainage system.
