Before & After Photos

Water leaks had corrupted this basement causing stains, musty smells, and cracks. We relieved this basement in Gray, KY, by draining the foundation of hydrostatic pressure to bring comfort back to this basement. The two most important pieces to our waterproofing system are our subfloor WaterGuard drains and one of our sump pumps. The subfloor drains prevent clogging and help channel groundwater to the sump pump. The sump pump works efficiently to then discharge all the collected water far and away from the home. By relieving this basement of water pressure, the homeowners gained some peace of mind.

This basement was leaking water when it rained, and the homeowners wanted it to stop. They didn't like having to pull out their industrial fans and lifting up their carpet every time it rained so they called us to get it waterproofed. 

This wet basement in Salt Lick, KY, had a leaky block foundation that needed a proper waterproofing system. The newer home was built with exterior french drains, but those didn't last long underneath the soil. Instead of digging around their homes foundation again to replace their exterior system, the homeowners wanted our full-proof system that would last way longer than another exterior system, (and would be less of a headache to install).  The pinnacle of this full-proof system is our TripleSafe sump pump, as seen in the "after" picture. This sump pump comes with three different pumps inside its airtight liner, including a pump that is backed by a battery backup system, (in case of power outage). With our full interior system now in place, the homeowners can get back to reinstalling some new carpet - and they won't have to worry about if it will get ruined again. 

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.
