The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This vented crawl space was allowing wet air to enter in the Spring and Summer, and it was allowing for cold air to enter in the Winter and Fall. The wet air had destroyed the fiberglass insulation, damaged the wood, and caused musty smells. The cold air caused cold floors and higher energy bills in the winter. By encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace moisture barrier, our SmartSump sump pump, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, we were able to completely change the look, feel, and smell of the crawl space. 

The front steps leading up to this home had settled into the ground, making for some awkward steps for these homeowners in Nicholasville, KY. We smoothed out the steps and the surrounding concrete slabs with our foam jacking method. Finished in less than a couple hours, these homeowners were able to walk on the steps right away thanks to the foams quick curing properties. 

This porch was sinking away from the home, causing the porch to crack between the door and the porch slab. This can happen when the soil shifts from underneath the porch, as was the case here We raised the porch slab back to a normal level using our PolyLeveling foam. We then sealed the crack with NexusPro sealant, which will keep water and debris out of the crack. 

This before and after shows why the conventional vented crawl space theory is not practical. You see, a lot of home builders figure installing some vents in the walls, placing a thin plastic "barrier" over a gravel floor, and insulating with fiberglass in the floor joists are enough for a crawl space. After all, they are following a coded standard, and maybe that's where the problem lies. Either way, vented crawl spaces let moisture run rampant, and only really work in climates that are dry 24/7. By encapsulating the crawl space, as seen here, moisture is eliminated. This means healthy breathing air, and a healthy long-lasting crawl space. Also note the silver insulation panels we installed along the wall, which eliminates the need for nasty fiberglass in the ceiling.

This single concrete driveway slab was sinking into the hillside in Richmond, KY, before we raised and stabilized it with our PolyLevel foam jacking method. PolyLevel is an expansive foam that is much cleaner than alternative mud jacking methods. If this slab was mud jacked, you would see mud flow everywhere. Now that the void is filled and the slab is raised back to normal, the homeowner doesn't have to worry about their driveway cracking.
