The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This basement had a bowing wall that was cracking horizontally. In order to remedy this, we installed 10 eight feet PowerBraces along the wall. The PowerBraces are so strong that the owner wont have to worry about the wall for the future.

This basement had a lot of hydro static pressure coming from their foundation walls, resulting in bowed in walls and basement leaks. We fixed this by installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system and installing PowerBraces over the bowed walls. When you waterproof a basement, it helps relieve that water pressure off of the walls, helping the PowerBraces out even further. We waterproofed by installing WaterGuard drains under the basement floor along the perimeter, and hooked the drains up to a SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels that cover the dirty walls and help filter water coming from the walls to the drainage system. 

This homeowner in Winchester, KY, had a tarp over the crack in their poolside concrete so that no one could trip over it. We repaired the crack by jacking the sunken slab with our PolyLevel foam. By drilling pea-sized holes and injecting the foam underneath the slab, we were able to level the area out. We then sealed the gaps and cracks using NexusPro sealant. This sealant is perfect for poolside cracks, as it has a UV resistant formula, unlike other sealants. The result was a happy homeowner who no longer had to throw a tarp over the crack everytime they had guests over to swim. 

This basement had some mold stains and wet spots that showed up every time it rained. In order to stop the moisture problem, we installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing system, as well as a full CleanSpace moisture barrier installation. 

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.
