Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Foundation Waterproofing/Repair in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky

This foundation in Lawrenceburg, KY was experiencing some trouble. For example, the walls were shifting inwards due to external hydrostatic pressure. The coves were leaking as well from built up water in the backfilled soil outside the home. We first waterproofed the home with a full interior perimeter waterproofing system consisting of our subfloor drains and our sump pump systems. We then stabilized the shifting walls with our PowerBrace steel I-beam systems. We also covered the shifting walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to better manage moisture seepage, as these were the walls with the most cracks. In the end, the homeowners were pleased with their newly converted space. If you're interested in transforming your foundation, then be sure to scroll through the photos below.

Our laser level allows us to look for a couple of things. For one, it helps us determine the low spot in the basement, where we'll install the sump pump. It also helps us look for any signs of settlement or wall deflection.

Weeping Holes in Lawrenceburg, KY

We trenched the perimeter of the basement to make room for our subfloor drains. These weeping holes will invite water into the drainage system.

Basement Drainage System in Lawrenceburg, KY

Once we fitted the trenches with our WaterGuard drains, we then concealed them with a fresh layer of concrete. We also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier up from the drainage system to cover the weeping holes and help channel water straight down into the system.
