The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

Crawl Spaces are susceptible to water leaks just like basements, and it's important to prevent them. We dug trenches around this crawl space's perimeter and installed perforated pipes in the trenches. We then backfilled the trenches with gravel, which will further help drain the water leaks. We then hooked the drains up to a SmartSump sump pump, which is a perfect size for this crawl space. No longer are there pools of water sitting in this crawl space!

This basement in Winchester, KY, was under significant hydrostatic pressure, which caused the foundation walls to bow inward and allowed water to seep in. To correct the problem, our team installed a full interior waterproofing system along with PowerBraces to stabilize the walls. By waterproofing the basement, we helped relieve water pressure behind the walls, and with the bracing, we ensured the wall won't ever move again laterally. The waterproofing system included WaterGuard perimeter drains installed beneath the basement floor and connected to a SuperSump pump for reliable water removal. To finish the project, we installed BrightWall panels that give the basement a clean, bright look while directing any wall moisture straight into the drainage system.

This below grade garage was receiving a lot of hydro-static pressure around certain walls. When this happens, the walls tend to bow in and cracks begin to form from the large amount of water that is sitting around the foundation. We first relieved the pressure by drilling weeping holes into the trenches where the waterproofing system will go. WaterGuard was then placed into the trenches, connected to a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line. We then placed CleanSpace walls and PowerBraces to hold the bowing walls up. The CleanSpace walls function as a funnel for moisture seeping through the walls and the CleanSpace also looks cosmetically pleasing as well. 

We installed a full waterproofing system for this homeowner in Waco, Kentucky. We also included a full perimeter vapor barrier system, which will help drain leaks from the wall down to the subfloor drains. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will also cover up the stains, cracks, and musty smells emitting from the walls. The result of this project was a very happy homeowner who was ready to transform their basement into something greater than just storage space! 

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.
