The renovators for this newly purchased home knew that the epoxy sealant applied to the foundation walls was not going to help this basement stay dry. You see, epoxy sealants and other sealants of the same nature don't fix the root cause of basement leaking issues. The real problem is all the water pressure sitting on the outside of the foundation walls, and the best way to relieve that pressure is an interior perimeter waterproofing system. We installed our system equipped with subfloor drains, a sump pump, and a vapor barrier. This system invites the built up water through weeping holes near the bottom of the foundation, (as seen in the before photo) and discharges all the water far away from the base of the home. After the system was installed, the renovators were ready to finish the basement however they like.
For this school in Berea, KY, we leveled out the concrete slabs surrounding the front entrance. We receive many calls for public areas with high walking-traffic volume because these places can be held liable if someone trips and hurts themselves. We made sure to level out all the tripping hazards for this school with our PolyLevel foam jacking. After we leveled everything out, the administrators were relieved that they spent part of their spending budget wisely with The Basement Doctor. Not only are the slabs even now, but they will still that way for a long, long time.
This drenched crawl space looked like a rainforest before we came and encapsulated it. We first waterproofed the crawl space, then we installed a vapor barrier, then we sealed the crawl space vents, then we set up a dehumidification system. These four steps will ensure a dry crawl space for a long time.
This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.
This basement owner had a semi-finished basement that had received I-beams from a different structural contractor. These beams that were installed did not stand the test of time and were breaking down. On top of that, their basement was also receiving water leaks. They called us this time to get it right for good. We ripped out the beams and installed our PowerBraces, which won't crack like the other ones they had installed. We also waterproofed with an interior perimeter system consisting of concealed WaterGuard drains, a SuperSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The customer no longer needs to worry about wall failure or water leaks.
