The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This driveway had seen better days before we went to level it all out with our expansive foam jacking method. The troubled soil that rested beneath the driveway was settling unevenly, causing the driveway slabs to crack and bend. We jacked the slabs with our PolyLevel foam to even out the driveway, eliminating the risk of tripping. We also filled in all the cracks and seams with our NexusPro sealant, which will prevent the weeds from growing out again. 

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. 

This homeowner had a crawl space with a thin plastic barrier covering the floor. The homeowner quickly realized that they were going to need more than that to keep their crawl space healthy, so they give us a call to install a sump pump system, a dehumidification system, an encapsulation system, an insulation system, and a sealed access door. Having just a thin layer of plastic on a crawl space floor isn't enough to stop moisture from rising into your crawl space, and its important to take all the necessary steps to guarantee a healthy crawl space. 

When installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system, it's important to have a trench drain near doors leading outside. Stairs outside these doors are prone to ushering water towards your basement floor, and so its important to capture this water with a trench drain before it reaches the basement. This trench drain is connected to WaterGuard drains, which go beneath the floor and up against the basement walls. The drainage system as a whole then leads all the water to a SuperSump sump pump.

Something that drives us crazy is when home builders cut corners on their crawl spaces. A crawl space is the backbone of your home, and yet despite decades of research and advancements, they still haven’t reconsidered their methods. The conventional dirt floored, open vented, fiberglass insulated crawl space is just not worth it at all. Unfortunately for this homeowner in East Bernstadt, who had a relatively younger home, their uncared for crawl space was deteriorating rapidly. When they called us out for help, we told them about all of the research that shows they can still get a big return on investment by repairing their crawl space the right way. They agreed to the repairing job and we got to work within the next week. The result was a treated crawl space that will help the home last much longer than it would have without the treatment.
