The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

The left half of this driveway was sinking into troubled soil, causing the concrete slabs to crack and break apart. We injected our PolyLevel foam under the left side of the driveway in order to even all the slabs out. Our PolyLevel foam is light, strong, clean, and cures quickly, allowing us to install it in less than a single day. After we leveled everything out, we then sealed the cracks and gaps to make sure water and debris stay out between the slabs. The result is a smooth driveway that eliminated all tripping hazards, and added a boost in home value.

In the before photo, this crawl space in Science Hill, KY, visibly showed dampness issues that pose risks such as mold growth and structural damage. The dry, clean transformation seen in the after photo showcases our expertise at The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky. Using our effective CleanSpace® system, combined with the powerful SmartSump sump pump, we ensured a dry, reliable foundation for this homeowner. Our systems provide superior performance, protecting homes from moisture, and associated problems. Homeowners trust in our proven systems to maintain a safe and dry home environment.

Hydrostatic pressure is the most common issue for basements that we see. When your foundation was first built, the builders have to dig up soil around the foundation and then have to backfill back around that foundation with the same soil. Because the soil was dug up, it's not as compact. This creates a clay bowl effect around your home, where water is more inclined to saturate the soil around your foundation because the soil was once broken up. With all this water sitting on the outside of your foundation, it creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the walls. In order to relieve this water pressure, we installed an interior waterproofing system that invites the built up water into the sump pump, and then the sump pump discharges that water far away from the home. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to make sure the wall is stabilized for good. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to cover up the stained block walls.

This front porch was sunken into the ground by a couple inches, allowing dirt to wash up and other cosmetic issues. We sprayed PolyLevel foam under the concrete to raise the porch back up as well as seal it from rain.
