The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Before & After Photos

At this Lexington, KY, home, water was seeping through the stone foundation, leaving damp spots and musty odors in the basement. We waterproofed the basement by installing a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to capture water, remove it reliably, and control humidity. Stone foundations are tricky because water can sneak through even tiny gaps between the stones, but by combining drainage, pumping, and dehumidification, the basement is now dry, healthy, and fully protected, turning a potentially high-maintenance historic feature into a worry-free space.

The crawl space of this Somerset, KY, home went from damp and musty to clean and dry. Before, moisture and humidity were constant problems, leaving behind odors and uncomfortable air inside the home. We installed drainage matting to manage groundwater, lined the entire area with CleanSpace to seal it from the earth, and added a SaniDry dehumidifier to control humidity year-round. After the transformation, the space is bright, dry, and fully protected—helping the homeowners enjoy healthier air and greater comfort throughout their home.

This driveway had seen better days before we went to level it all out with our expansive foam jacking method. The troubled soil that rested beneath the driveway was settling unevenly, causing the driveway slabs to crack and bend. We jacked the slabs with our PolyLevel foam to even out the driveway, eliminating the risk of tripping. We also filled in all the cracks and seams with our NexusPro sealant, which will prevent the weeds from growing out again. 

This crawl space in Strunk, Kentucky, was struggling to handle moisture. The floor joists started to show signs of early stage moisture damage, the space emitted musty smells into the upper levels of the home, and the unconditioned space was making it hard to heat and cool the rest of the home. We encapsulated the space underneath by wrapping the dirt floor, the block walls, and the concrete columns with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is similar to a pool liner, and it is composed of antimicrobial material. This encapsulation system will keep the space beneath this home safe for decades to come.

As a result from all the hydrostatic pressure this basement foundation was receiving, the walls were bowing in and leaking water. In the before picture you can see the chipped paint, cracks, bowing, and the pool of water on the floor. In the after picture you can see PowerBraces holding the bowing walls up, CleanSpace walls covering the once dirty wall, fresh concrete over the hidden WaterGuard drains all around the perimeter of the basement, and a TripleSafe sump pump all the way in the corner.
