The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky Q&A

Yes, it can. We use a specialized two-part waterproofing approach designed specifically for monolithic or thick slab foundations. The first step is DryTrak, a baseboard drainage system that requires no major excavation, only small weep holes at the cove joints. DryTrak has a built-in opening to collect wall seepage and can also be paired with interior wall systems if needed. The second step is installing perforated drain tile a few feet in from the foundation walls, set beneath the floor, to capture groundwater under the slab. DryTrak and the drain tile are then connected with tie-ins placed at intervals, which allow the two systems to work together as one. This method keeps the integrity of the monolithic slab intact while also saving time compared with exterior excavation.

Absolutely. Our SealantPro treatment does more than coat the surface, it penetrates and bonds directly with the concrete itself. By creating a protective layer from within, it helps extend the life of driveways, patios, and walkways by blocking water, oils, road salt, and other contaminants. This protection is especially valuable in Kentucky, where seasonal freeze thaw cycles can cause cracking, flaking, and surface damage. SealantPro offers homeowners a long-term solution that keeps concrete looking sharp while preventing costly repairs down the road.

Yes. In Kentucky, sagging or bowing garage lintels are a frequent concern because of shifting soils and the stress from seasonal weather changes. We provide proven repair solutions that reinforce the opening, restore structural strength, and help protect the home from further damage.
