The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

Our technicians sealed the concrete sorrounding this pool with our NexusPro sealant in order to keep water and debris away from the gaps. This is especially important near poolsides where chlorine based water can eat away between your slabs!

This home had a musty smell and bugs coming up from the crawlspace. We fixed these problems by encapsulating it with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels as well. 

This basement was an old fieldstone root cellar. Fieldstone root cellars were used back in the day to store food at a cooler temperature. Although these root cellars can come with lots of moisture issues, they are pretty historic and deserve to be preserved. We were able to fix the foundation by applying a waterproofing system throughout the whole foundation by replacing their old sump pump with our newer TripleSafe sump pump. We also applied CleanSpace walls around the stone brick foundation to block out dirt and water. The result is a healthy basement that will last longer and preserve the cool stone foundation. 

This home in Okeana, Ohio, had a typical gravel-floor crawl space with concrete walls and fiberglass insulation — both showing signs of moisture staining and humidity buildup. The environment was musty, inefficient, and at risk for mold and long-term structural damage.

We transformed the space by removing all of the old fiberglass insulation and installing our full CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, which seals the crawl space floor and walls to block out ground moisture. On the walls, we added SilverGlo® insulation panels — a rigid foam board that not only reflects heat back into the home but also resists moisture. We also applied spray foam insulation in the rim joists to seal air leaks and improve energy efficiency.

Not visible in the photo set are two critical components of this system: a SmartSump® crawl space sump pump to manage any incoming water, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity and maintain a dry, healthy environment year-round.

Whenever the owner of this home had to take the sidewalk to reach their walk out basement, they would often lose balance. The sidewalk and stairs had tilted away from the home, leaving them unlevel. They tilted away from the home because the soil on the hillside had washed down and away from the home over time. In order to make the stairs and sidewalk level again, we injected our polyurethane foam under the side that sunk down. Through this process, we were able to level everything out and seal all the gaps. The homeowner can now travel down the stairs safely again.
