Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Morehead, Kentucky was having water problems in the crawl space area of the home.  The insulation was beginning to fall down and the homeowner was concerned about eventually having foundation problems due to the water. We encapsulated the space to ensure the crawl space lives a healthy life.

Hydrostatic pressure is the most common issue for basements that we see. When your foundation was first built, the builders have to dig up soil around the foundation and then have to backfill back around that foundation with the same soil. Because the soil was dug up, it's not as compact. This creates a clay bowl effect around your home, where water is more inclined to saturate the soil around your foundation because the soil was once broken up. With all this water sitting on the outside of your foundation, it creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the walls. In order to relieve this water pressure, we installed an interior waterproofing system that invites the built up water into the sump pump, and then the sump pump discharges that water far away from the home. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to make sure the wall is stabilized for good. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to cover up the stained block walls.

This homeowner wanted us to help stop mold from growing in their crawl space. We waterproofed, then encapsulated with a moisture barrier, then sealed out the old vents, then we installed a world class dehumidifier.

This crawl space underneath a church in Ghent, KY, was struggling with moisture issues. If you look closely at the attached "before" picture, you'll notice that the ducts are dripping with condensation. This wet air was not just causing musty smells, but it was also starting to deteriorate the framing and the ductwork below the church. To repair the crawl space, we started by wrapping the floor with our dimpled drainage matting, which will help make the crawl space more comfortable to crawl around in after we finished the project. We then wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will help seal moisture out of the space. We finished the project by sealing all the vents and installing a dehumidifier. After the project was finished, the churchgoers noticed an immediate change in the smell and feel, even on the first floor of the building.

In Albany, KY, the homeowner faced significant issues with excessive moisture in their crawl space, as seen in the before photo. The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky expertly addressed this by installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe sump pump, ensuring a dry environment. Notice in the after photos how these advanced solutions create a clean, secure space, reflecting our commitment to high-quality crawl space repair and protection.
