The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

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. 

This elevated front porch was sinking into the soil, which had caused a gap to form between the houses vinyl siding and the porch floor. The floor of the porch was also angled down towards the home, which made the porch awkward to walk on and to put furniture on. Another problem was that the porch was covered, but whenever it stormed really badly, the rain was directed towards the homes foundation. We fixed the slanted porch by injecting our polyurethane foam through the slab on the side closer side of the home. After we carefully injected the slab, we were able to even the porch back out again, fixing all the problems the homeowner wished for.

This home's back porch was sinking into the soil by a couple inches. We raised it back to the height it started at by using PolyLevel foam. 

If you are looking for a home renovation projection to have done, a crawl space encapsulation may be the perfect choice for you. If your current crawl space has high humidity, sagging floors, dirt and pests, or groundwater leaks, an encapsulation may be the best investment you could make for your home. In terms of getting your money back through prevented structural issues, lower energy bills, and better air quality in the home, you can't make a better investment for your home. 

Not only was this basement prone to flooding, it also had bowing walls that needed addressing. We often see bowing walls and waterproofing issues be intertwined from the effects of hydro-static pressure. This homeowner tried to fix the bowing issues years ago, but their steel beams were not holding up like ours would have. After we finished installing our waterproofing and PowerBrace systems, the basement became dry and is safe from structure failure.
