The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This before and after shows why the conventional vented crawl space theory is not practical. You see, a lot of home builders figure installing some vents in the walls, placing a thin plastic "barrier" over a gravel floor, and insulating with fiberglass in the floor joists are enough for a crawl space. After all, they are following a coded standard, and maybe that's where the problem lies. Either way, vented crawl spaces let moisture run rampant, and only really work in climates that are dry 24/7. By encapsulating the crawl space, as seen here, moisture is eliminated. This means healthy breathing air, and a healthy long-lasting crawl space. Also note the silver insulation panels we installed along the wall, which eliminates the need for nasty fiberglass in the ceiling.

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. 

We used Polylevel Injection to repair the driveway slab that had sunk. 

This specific family was troubled by a persistently damp and leaky basement in their suburban home. Seeking a lasting solution, they contacted us and were introduced to our team, experts with a comprehensive plan. We recommended the Ultra Sump 4, a powerful sump pump system, along with the Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to combat excess humidity. To tackle water seepage, a trench drain system was proposed under the door, while CleanSpace wall encapsulation would prevent moisture from permeating the basement walls. The family agreed, and with the project completed, their basement transformed into a dry and safe haven, where they could now create cherished family memories without the worry of water-related issues.

This home was leaking water into the basement, which was frustrating for the owner. We were able to help by installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. This interior perimeter waterproofing system will keep this basement dry and clean for a long, long time.
