Keep Your Basement Dry with The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky

Basement water problems are about as old as the structures they reside in. Water will leak into a basement through any opening it can, including your walls, floors and the joints between them. Water can even pass through the concrete itself -- which is one reason why basements are notoriously damp, humid spaces.

If your Kentucky home has a wet, leaky basement, look no further for a responsible basement waterproofing company - give us a call. The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky has been keeping basements dry since 2002.

Let one of our basement experts come and give you a free waterproofing estimate. We want to help keep your basement dry all the time!

    A Park Hills, Kentucky homeowner was having problems with water seeping into the basement through a window well.  The homeowner met with Mike, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that a WellDuct Window Well Drain is installed to drain the water that floods the window well.  The water will drain down into the WellDucts and flow into the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System.  The WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System will drain the water into the SuperSump Pump System to pump the water out of the basement.

    A homeowner was having problems with water seeping in at the floor in a finished basement.   He met with Walt, a Certified Inspector, at The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky.  Walt recommended that we install WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, along with A SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System and an UltraSump Battery Back-up Sump System.

    WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system installed along the foundation walls to intercept water that is seeping into the basement.  The water will then be drained into a sump pump system, such as the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, to be pumped out of the basement.  

    The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System has a high-end 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron pump.  It also comes with a WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner and Airtight Lid.  The WaterWatch Alarm will sound an alarm during a pump or power to alert the homeowner.  The SuperLiner has 96 holes in it to allow water to flow in from under the floor and is a rugged, heavy-duty liner that will not crack or cave in.  The Airtight Lid keeps water from evaporating back into the basement, keeps out odors and quiets the pump.  The UltraSump is a battery back up pump that will automatically come on if there is a pump or power failure.  It runs on battery power and comes with its own battery and charging station. 

    With these systems now installed, the WaterGuard is intercepting the water that is seeping into the basement, and the homeowner can refinish the basement without worries of water intrusion.

Negative-side Sealant

This involves applying a neagative-side sealant on your interoir walls and floors to seal out the moisture.The logic behind this is that a special waterproof paint or hydraulic cement will create a vapor barrier on the basement walls that will prevent moisture from traveling through and passing into the air. It's cheap and it sounds good.

Unfortunately, negative-side sealants do not remove the water sitting around the foundation, they will usually fail within the first couple months or after a heavy rainfall, allowing this water sitting against the foundation to find its way into your basement.

Exterior Excavation

To do this requires a complete removal of all soil around the entire perimeter of the basement. Anything on top of that soil- including foliage, stairs, sidewalks, gardens, porches, or other landscaping must be removed so the expensive and invasive process can begin.

This type of installation has been used for many decades—a drain of this type is generally installed when the home is built.

Interior Baseboard System

Installs on top of the basement floor with a drain that runs along the basement walls. Collects water and sends it to a sump pump system.

No jackhammering is required and the installation is safe for a monolithic basement floor.

Interior Subfloor Drain

Installs underneath the basement floor, with a drain that runs along the basement walls. Collects water and sends it to a sump pump system.

The system is easy to service and it can collect water leaking from the walls or windows as well.
