The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

We installed a full waterproofing system for this homeowner in Waco, Kentucky. We also included a full perimeter vapor barrier system, which will help drain leaks from the wall down to the subfloor drains. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will also cover up the stains, cracks, and musty smells emitting from the walls. The result of this project was a very happy homeowner who was ready to transform their basement into something greater than just storage space! 

This crawlspace was having issues with leaking from plumbing issues under their home. This home also had 6 mil polyethylene ground cover laying over gravel, a shortcut most people take. The problem with this cover is it rips very easily and gets old quickly, (as seen in the before picture). It also does a terrible job keeping moisture from the earth out. In order to fix these two problems simultaneously we installed our Drainage Matting System, (a dimpled polyethylene membrane) and a Smart Pump. Luckily for this crawl space, their was no groundwater leakage, just the plumbing errors. For this, a Smart Pump is used. This smart pump will alarm the owner when there is a plumbline leak, and at the same time will drains water away into the soil. The Drainage Matting System helps the Smart Pump by flowing water to the pump. It also looks clean and is very durable. Although our Clean Space encapsulation is recommended to be placed over the Drainage Matting System, our customer did not wish for it because moisture in their crawl space was not an issue, just the plumbing leaks. 

This crawlspace was dirty and wasting a lot of energy on heat before we got to it. After we encapsulated it and insulated it using CleanSpace walls, SilverGlo insulation panels, a SaniDry dehumidifier, and spray foam insulation, the crawlspace was clean and efficient on keeping the house warm during cold Winters. 

This crawlspace was structurally sound and very well built, it just was dirty and had moisture issues. CleanSpace matting and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier did the trick just fine. 

This homes main beams were becoming saggy due to exposure to moisture over time. When this happens, the ceiling of the crawl space and the floor of the first story in the house become saggy. To fix this, we install SmartJack posts under the main beam to raise the floor back to health. The SmartJacks are installed on strong concrete footers in the shape of a bulb under the floor of the crawl space.
