The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Winchester, KY, was suffering from the effects of prolonged moisture exposure. To stop moisture all together, we implemented an encapsulation system to safeguard the space below the home. Highlighted by our 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier, this crawl space is now dry, safe, and clean. Some additional benefits include better air quality, savings on energy costs, and added storage space.

We used our special foam called PolyLevel to slabjack this Winchester, KY, home's driveway and sidewalk. The foam is super light, strong, and clean, making for a much more effective alternative to mudjacking. After we leveled everything out, we then sealed all the cracks, gaps, and surfaces with our durable sealants. You can see just how much we lifted the sidewalk by looking at the gap between the porch slab and the top of the step in the before photo. This sidewalk is now ready for a much longer, prettier life!

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. 

This homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty basement and growing concerns about cracks forming along their foundation walls. Water was seeping in around the edges of the basement floor during heavy rains, and the walls had visible signs of cracking and bowing. The combination of moisture and structural stress was only getting worse with time. Our team installed a complete basement repair system to protect the home for the long term. We placed WaterGuard drainage along the perimeter to collect incoming water and direct it safely to a SuperSump pump, keeping the basement dry. To address the foundation wall cracks and prevent further bowing, we reinforced the walls with CarbonArmor® straps, a durable, low-profile solution that stabilizes the walls without major excavation. The basement is now dry, stable, and protected — giving the homeowner peace of mind no matter the weather.

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.
