The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

The sidewalk leading up to this home in Shelbyville, KY was sinking into the soil. To reverse this process, we injected polyurethane foam under the sidewalk. The foam is so strong that as it expands under the concrete, it is able to raise the slabs. By using calculated amounts of foam for each different slab, we are able to get the sidewalk level again. After everything is leveled, we then sealed the slabs together at the seams. This process was way cheaper than replacing the sidewalk completely, and for that, the homeowner was very happy with the outcome. 

In Shelbyville, KY, this sidewalk had settled so badly that the concrete slabs were nearly buried in the soil — grass was even starting to grow across the surface. Not only was it unsightly, but it also created a serious tripping hazard. Our team lifted the slabs back to their proper position using PolyLevel®, our quick, clean concrete lifting solution. We then sealed the joints with NexusPro®, a long-lasting, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and future settling. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see this dramatic sidewalk transformation!

We repaired this driveway in Springfield, KY, by leveling our all the slabs with our PolyLevel foam injections. Our expansive foam was able to level everything out without making a mess. We then sealed the injection holes back up, as well as the joints between the slabs. The result is a much cleaner looking driveway. 

This basement in Springfield, KY, was leaking nearly every time it rained. We waterproofed the basement by wrapping our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the interior perimeter of the basement, and installing our TripleSafe sump pump. Our system is minimally invasive compared to other exterior solutions, as our system doesn't require digging around a homes foundation on the outside. Instead, our WaterGuard drains sit above the footing of the home from the inside. This way our system isn't susceptible to clogging from soil. The drains were pitched down towards the lowest graded part of the basement floor, right where we installed our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most secure system, as it comes with three pumps including a battery backed pump. The homeowner was happy they don't have to worry about flooding anymore afterwards. 

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.
