London, KY Basement Waterproofing, Foundation & Crawl Space Repair

In London, Kentucky, a homeowner contacted us about a leaky basement that stayed damp after heavy rains. Water was entering around the edges of the floor and leaving the basement musty and unusable.

To fix the problem, our crew installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard drains, designed to capture groundwater before it ever reaches the floor surface. We then set a SuperSump system in the lowest-graded part of the basement to efficiently pump the collected water out of the home. After drilling weep holes along the base of the walls, the sump pit began filling with water almost immediately—clear proof that the system was doing its job.

With these solutions in place, the basement now stays clean and dry, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing water issues are finally under control.

A homeowner in London, KY, recently reached out to us at The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky with concerning issues of uneven floors and difficulty with opening and closing doors above their crawl space. Understanding that these symptoms were indicators of larger underlying problems, they connected with our Customer Care Specialist, who promptly scheduled a home inspection. During the inspection, our knowledgeable System Design Specialist investigated the problem areas and identified weakened floor joists in the crawl space as the root cause. To address this, we recommended our SmartJack® system—a dependable solution known for stabilizing crawl space beams and floor joists while lifting floors above closer to their original position. On the scheduled date, our skilled production team efficiently went to work. We began by preparing the problem area with an inspection of the foundation and existing support structures. Our crew installed galvanized steel columns specific to the required lengths for this homeowner's crawl space. These columns were positioned on a robust 12-inch steel base designed to withstand the test of time. Using heavy-duty threaded rods, we were able to fine-tune the elevation, diminishing the uneven conditions affecting the homeowner's floors. By the completion of our work, the floors were back on an even plane, and the functionality of doors was no longer compromised. The use of the SmartJack® system effectively resulted in a stable, more reliable home environment. In all stages, from diagnosis to solution, every step was executed with precision by putting the homeowner's peace of mind and satisfaction foremost.
