The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

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.

The renovators for this newly purchased home knew that the epoxy sealant applied to the foundation walls was not going to help this basement stay dry. You see, epoxy sealants and other sealants of the same nature don't fix the root cause of basement leaking issues. The real problem is all the water pressure sitting on the outside of the foundation walls, and the best way to relieve that pressure is an interior perimeter waterproofing system. We installed our system equipped with subfloor drains, a sump pump, and a vapor barrier. This system invites the built up water through weeping holes near the bottom of the foundation, (as seen in the before photo) and discharges all the water far away from the base of the home. After the system was installed, the renovators were ready to finish the basement however they like. 

This homeowner gave us a call because they were concerned with their wooden framing in their crawl space. The homeowner informed us that their crawl space was not that old, and they were pretty upset at the condition it was in. We informed them that they called us at the right time, because had they waited longer, the wood may have grown past the point of safe. We then told them more about our encapsulation process, and how it could save them lots of money in the long run by being able to save the wooden framing. We also informed them of one spot where the wooden frame could use a little extra support with one of our SmartJack posts. By installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier over some drainage matting, our SmartJack post, our SilverGlo foam insulation panels, our waterproofing system connected to a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system, we were able to guarantee they won't have to worry about the health of their wooden framing any longer. 

For this school in Berea, KY, we leveled out the concrete slabs surrounding the front entrance. We receive many calls for public areas with high walking-traffic volume because these places can be held liable if someone trips and hurts themselves. We made sure to level out all the tripping hazards for this school with our PolyLevel foam jacking. After we leveled everything out, the administrators were relieved that they spent part of their spending budget wisely with The Basement Doctor. Not only are the slabs even now, but they will still that way for a long, long time. 

This public library in Berea, KY, had a sidewalk with a tripping hazard. This sidewalk slab had sunken about 2 inches down and away from the adjacent patio slab, a pretty big liability for a public library with lots of foot traffic. We first lifted the slab closest to the patio slab to close out the gap between the two, and then we leveled out the rest of the sidewalk slabs so that every slab is level with one another. After leveling, we then sealed the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant. Our PolyLevel only takes ten minutes to cure, so the public got right back to being able to use this access door.
