The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

The soil under this homes foundation was shifting, causing the foundation to sink away from the brick walls of the house. We are able to raise foundations by using helical piers, which are strong enough to transfer the weight of the houses down into deep soil. They also go deep down into solid soil that can't move, allowing the foundation to stay put for good.  

This crawl space had pools of water sitting at the bottom every time it rained. These pools of water were causing mold and moisture issues, which were tearing away at the insulation and wooden frames. In order to fix this, we installed a drainage system made of perforated pipes backfilled with gravel along the interior perimeter of the crawl space. These drains were hooked up to a SmartSump sump pump. We then covered the whole crawl space in Clean Space liner, which is made of non organic material. Thus way mold can never grow on it. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to eliminate air moisture issues. We also installed a Turtl crawl space entry door, which is not shown in the pictures. 

Need an egress window for your basement bedroom? We can help! Drainage at the bottom of the well is key! Note: Not pictured is the window well covering, we figured you all would rather see the inside of the well!

We installed a Turtl crawl space access door for this homeowner in Lexington, Kentucky.

Crawl Spaces are susceptible to water leaks just like basements, and it's important to prevent them. We dug trenches around this crawl space's perimeter and installed perforated pipes in the trenches. We then backfilled the trenches with gravel, which will further help drain the water leaks. We then hooked the drains up to a SmartSump sump pump, which is a perfect size for this crawl space. No longer are there pools of water sitting in this crawl space!
