The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

This basement in Owenton, KY, was experiencing immense amount of water pressure outside the foundation. We relieved the pressure by waterproofing with our subfloor drains and our sump pump. We then stabilized the walls by installing our PowerBrace steel I-beams. We also added a CleanSpace vapor barrier behind the beams to help drain wall leaks to the subfloor system.

We went out to this residence in Frenchburg, KY, in order to repair the outside concrete that had settled and cracked. For all the slabs that had sunken into the ground, we jacked them back up with our PolyLevel expansive foam. Once everything was leveled back out, we then sealed all the cracks and gaps in the concrete with our NexusPro sealant. We were able to restore the concrete and effectively increase its expected lifetime, saving the homeowners thousands in having it replaced.

This home in Georgetown, Kentucky had a foundational problem that could lead to complete destruction of their home, not to mention it was also causing flooding. After we inspected the problems, we suggested power braces and a waterproofing system to ensure a dry and healthy home. The family agreed and we began our installation process. Power braces, made of high-quality steel, were expertly placed along the basement walls to reinforce and support the foundation. Their adjustable design allowed for potential corrective measures, ensuring long-term stability. Alongside the power braces, the team installed a sump pump system in the basement floor along with a drain system. This smart solution would efficiently collect and redirect any incoming water away from the home's foundation, preventing water buildup and flooding. With the power braces and sump pump working in harmony, the home was now fortified against foundation issues and water woes, making it a safe and dry haven for her family and belongings.

This crawlspace was caving in from the roof because the beams that held it up were sinking into the ground over time. SmartJacks apply strength to the crawlspace and are special because they can be adjusted over time in case the crawlspace sinks even more. 

This concrete sidewalk had sunken into the soil, causing minor cracks to appear. We raised the slabs with our foam jacking method, which is able to raise and stabilize the slabs within an hour. To see exactly how far we raised the slabs, look towards the gap between the brick at the bottom of the front door and the concrete sidewalk in the before picture, and compare it to the after photo.
