The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Versailles, KY, called us after heavy rainfall caused their crawl space to flood. They wanted a permanent solution—not just a quick fix—so we introduced them to our encapsulation system. We explained that it doesn’t just stop flooding, but also blocks moisture entirely, creating a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting crawl space. They were all in.

In the after photo, you can see the main “organs” of our system at work:

• SmartSump Pump with UltraSump Battery Backup – the “heart” of the system, collecting groundwater through its “veins” (our drainage channels) and pumping it safely out of the foundation. The UltraSump acts like a “pacemaker,” keeping the heart beating even during a power outage.

• SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier – the “lungs,” automatically controlling humidity so the air stays clean and dry.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier – the “skin,” sealing out moisture, bugs, and dirt for complete protection.

• SilverGlo Wall Insulation – the “fatty tissue,” locking in warmth during the winter and improving energy efficiency.

With all these components working together, this crawl space now has the full anatomy of a healthy, protected foundation.

In Wilmore, KY, this homeowner’s front porch had started to settle, creating an uneven gap where the concrete slab met the brick wall. To restore both the look and safety of the entryway, we lifted the porch using PolyLevel®, our quick and precise concrete lifting system. Once the slab was level, we sealed the joint between the brick wall and concrete with NexusPro®, a durable, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and further settling. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see how we brought this front porch back to life!

This crawl space in Wilmore, KY, had wet fiberglass sprawled out all across the floor. The fiberglass had absorbed too much moisture, causing it to become heavy and fall from the joists. The uncontrolled moisture had left the crawl space cold in the winter time and wet in the summer. We encapsulated the crawl space by tearing out all the fiberglass, wrapping the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels, and then sealing the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, (unpictured) to keep the trapped air inside this space dry as can be.

This slab foundation home in Stamping Ground, KY, was sinking into problematic soil causing the slab to sink by about 3/4 of an inch. Because the slab was light enough, we were able to raise it with our PolyLevel expansive foam jacking method. As you can see in the after picture, our foam was able to completely fill the void, and even lifted it back up a bit.

The owner of this new home wanted their new crawl space properly prepared for the future. We installed our standard crawl space repair system consisting of a SmartSump sump pump hooked up to a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace lining, drainage matting, and EverLast crawl space door. The result is a crawl space that is properly prepared for the future and will surely last a long, long time.
