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.
Are you looking for the best basement waterproofers near Corbin? If so, you're looking in the right spot. To waterproof this side of the basement, we installed our under the floor WaterGuard drains and our SuperSump sump pump.
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 SaniDrySedona dehumidifier, trench drains, discharge lines with LawnScape outlets, and BrightWall around the whole basement. This family was happy with the outcome.
The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky understands that the look of your lawn is essential. That's why when we install LawnScapes and other discharge lines, we take care to preserve the grass in your yard. This before and after photo will show you how your yard will look when we complete it. In a couple of weeks, you won't be able to notice that we even dug a hole to bury the line.
Our waterproofing systems come with a wide arrange of different wall paneling options. The two seen here are two of our more popular options. The first one is called BrightWall, and is the one that runs from the bottom to the top. The second is called CleanSpace, and is the one that covers the awkward concrete pier. They both are made of inorganic materials that won't allow for mold growth, and they both help drain water coming from the walls down to the WaterGuard sub floor drains.
