The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

Do you have a musty crawl space? Some people think they can tough it out with, "just the musty smells" but there are many more problems with a musty crawl space than the smells. Your crawl space will eat away at itself and the wood will rot. It's better to fix the musty smells right away than to try and tough it out until the wood rots, then you have to just fix it anyways.

This wet crawl space in Eminence, KY, was falling apart due to excess moisture. The open vents and the dirt floor in the crawl space were allowing moisture to damage the floor joists and the fiberglass insulation. Mold was also a concern, as musty smells were emitting up into their living space above. By encapsulating it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, our SilverGlo insulation, our drainage system, and our SmartSump sump pump, we were able to eliminate the moisture and insulate the crawl space. We also strengthened the floor joists by adding wooden sister joists, and by installing our SmartJack crawl space posts. We then topped it all off by sealing all the vents and joists with vent covers and spray foam insulation. The result is a crawl space that will provide the homeowners with clean air, savings on energy, and savings on costly repairs. 

Tackling tricky terrain in Mount Eden, Kentucky, our team faced expanding driveway cracks that beckoned weeds, water, and unwanted debris, wearing down a prized family home. As you can see in the stunning transformation, we embraced PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions, turning an eyesore into envy. The before picture showcases the daunting challenge, whereas after, we reveal how determination blended with the right technology ensures beauty and durability. With The Basement Doctor, every repair is more than fixing; it's enhancing your home's health and appeal.

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.
