The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This driveway in Corbin, KY, had become uneven over time. Different slabs were settling at different paces, and the result was many tripping hazards for the neighborhood kids. The homeowners wanted their driveway leveled and sealed so that their driveway was safe of tripping hazards, and so that their driveway has a longer life-span. We do our leveling with our PolyLevel foam which is less invasive, stronger, and has a quicker install time than mud jacking. 

When we gave a free inspection for this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we noticed a main beam needed a little extra support holding up the floor joists above it, so we recommended we install a SmartJack post. This post is covered in galvanized steel to prevent rusting. Not only were we able to waterproof this basement, but we were able to straighten out their floors as well! 

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we also made sure to waterproof the hatchway as well. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter of the basement and hatchway, and we covered the walls in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is our most economical wall option, but it is able to completely transform the look and feel of your basement. It's made with an antimicrobial material, keeping the space smelling fresh. The CleanSpace tucks into the WaterGuard wall flange, allowing moisture to seep down into the drainage system. The result is a new basement feel!

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we installed our most secure sump pump system, the TripleSafe, in the lowest graded part of the basement. This sump will take all the water that the WaterGuard subfloor drains channel to it, and safely discharge it away from the foundation of the home. The TripleSafe comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one in case the power goes out. Like all of our sumps, it comes with an airtight lid, an alarm system, and an airtight floor drain.

This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, needed a proper repair system to help control the humidity levels. We started the encapsulation by insulating the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels and by injecting spray foam over the rim joists. We then installed a dimpled waterproofing membrane across the crawl space floor, giving the CleanSpace vapor barrier we placed on top a raised, stable surface instead of sitting directly on the muddy ground. Next, we sealed the space with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the sealed space conditioned and as dry as can be. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.
