How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key. An interior drainage system and sump pump work in tandem to keep water out of the basement and away from your foundation while a dehumidifier keeps the air dry and prevents condensation from forming on walls, ceilings, and windows.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment.

Basement Waterproofing in Tompkinsville, Kentucky

This basement in Tompkinsville, Kentucky had a block wall foundation that was leaking water. The homeowner had big plans to one day renovate this basement into a comfy living space. In order for this dream to come true for them, they were first going to have to waterproof it to make sure no water could come and ruin their finished touches. We installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system that included vapor barriers around the walls, subfloor drains, a trench drain at the steps, a SuperSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. With this system, the homeowners are free to do whatever they please with the basement to make it a comfortable living space. The CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls can also have finished walls installed over them, ensuring everything stays dry.

Basement Waterproofing in Campbellsville, KY

This basement was growing mold and musty odors, which was a problem for the inhabitants above it. We decided we were going to help them get rid of these problems once and for all. We installed WaterGuard around the whole perimeter interior, a TripleSafe sump pump attached with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, trench drains, discharge lines with LawnScape outlets, and BrightWall around the whole basement. This family was happy with the outcome.

Drive Way and Side Walk Lift and Seal in Frankfort, KY

This home's pretty side walk and drive way were becoming old and contained large gaps and cracks, something we aimed to fix. We were able to PolyLevel lift specific parts of the concrete to raise all the slabs to be on the same level. We then sealed the gaps with NexusPro sealant. These concrete slabs are repaired and protected now.

Foundation Repair & Waterproofing Project in Owenton, KY

This basement in Owenton, KY, was experiencing immense amount of water pressure outside the foundation. The horizontal crack along the wall in the before picture is right where the frost line is in the soil outside the basement. A wall may bow and crack horizontally near the frost line due to frost heave — a natural but damaging process that happens when moisture in the soil freezes and expands. We relieved the pressure by first waterproofing with our subfloor drains and our sump pump. We then stabilized the walls by installing our steel PowerBrace I-beams. We also added a CleanSpace vapor barrier behind the beams to help drain wall leaks down into the subfloor system. The homeowner was happy to know that they no longer have to worry about their leaky bowing walls.
