The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

The effects of hydrostatic pressure can be very profound. After all, a cubic foot of water weighs around 60 pounds. Depending on the surface area of your basement walls, this can mean over 1,000's of pounds of inward pressure on your walls! Unfortunately for this basement in Covington, KY, the built up water around the outside of the foundation was resulting in cracks, leaks, and bowed walls. We were able to relieve the immense weight off the walls by installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system, along with our PowerBrace wall repair system. As the waterproofing system drains the water away from the walls, the PowerBrace system actively shifts the wall back to a straight plane. We also installed our BrightWall paneling system, which will help drains the cracked walls and provide some aesthetic benefits as well. Give us a call if hydrostatic pressure is terrorizing your home for a free inspection! 

The concrete ramp leading up to this home in Morning View, KY, made this home wheelchair accessible. But after the soil settled over time, and cracks started to appear in the ramp. These cracks made it difficult to access the home, so the homeowners gave us a call to make them disappear. After we lifted up all the sunken parts of the slabs with our PolyLevel foam, we then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowners were very happy with the result of their project, and their home is now much more accessible. 

Moisture in your crawl space can completely incapacitate your insulation. Moisture can also eat away at your wooden parts of your crawl space if not eliminated. When we encapsulated this crawl space with our CleanSpace barrier and our SilverGlo insulation, the moisture was eliminated and the insulation capacity was increased significantly. 

A homeowner in Cincinnati had a few concrete sidewalk slabs that were sinking so they called us and scheduled an appointment with us to find a solution to this problem. We recommended Polylevel injections to raise these slabs. You can really see just how high we were able to raise this slab if you look at the horizontal line near the brown smoke chamber the bottom of the chimney in the before picture. That's precisely where we were asked to raise the slab back to. 

A homeowner in Cincinnati wanted to have their crawl space insulated, and so they called us for help.  The homeowner met with one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that we install a CleanSpace encapsulation system along with drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, rim joist insulation, and an Everlast door to resolve the problems in the crawlspace.   In these photos, you can see the difference the CleanSpace and SilverGlo have made in this crawl space.  The CleanSpace provides as a mold and vapor barrier, while keeping the crawl space clean. The SilverGlo will insulate the crawl space, keeping the floors warm in the winter. The CleanSpace also really brightens up the crawl space, making it much easier for the homeowner to access when needed.
