Southwest-Facing Walls Are Weak Spots in Central Kentucky's Aging Foundations
Many older homes in Central Kentucky have crawl spaces where wooden framing and sill plates on the southwest side can deteriorate faster due to prolonged sun exposure, wind-driven rain, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. These factors accelerate moisture damage and wood rot if not addressed promptly. Basements can also experience moisture issues near southwest-facing doors, so it's important for homeowners to keep these areas well-sealed and maintained. Regular inspections, recaulkings, proper grading, and flashing repairs help protect these vulnerable spots and maintain the home's structural health.

How Our Battery-Backed Sump Pump Can Make a Difference for Central Kentucky Homes
Investing in our UltraSump 4 is a smart decision for homeowners in Central Kentucky. If your main sump pump ever fails-most commonly due to a power outage-the UltraSump 4 steps in, capable of pumping out up to 12,000 gallons of water at a 10-foot lift. That gives you plenty of time to address the issue and restore the main pump.
