The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This poured foundation wall in this Vanceburg, KY basement was leaking due to hydrostatic pressure building up outside the wall. We repaired the crack using our FlexiSpan system. First, we cleaned and prepped the crack, chipping out any loose material if necessary. Next, we applied a flexible sealant directly into the crack to form the primary seal. Then, we placed a strip of flexible, open-cell foam over the sealant, followed by an impermeable membrane to permanently seal the repair. The bottom of this system is directed into the drainage system below the floor, ensuring that any future seepage is captured and drained away instead of entering the basement. We then added our BrightWall crack cover over the stained wall. The result was a clean, dry basement wall that the homeowner could confidently finish again.

This home in Lawrenceburg, IN, near the Hidden Valley lake, had a settling foundation. Parts of the home were sinking into troubling soil, causing many cracks to appear in the brick siding, including the large one seen in this photo set. We stabilize the foundation by underpinning the foundation with steel helical piers. Our helical piers are shaped like a screw, and they drive deep into the earth until they reach load-bearing strata, (soil that won't ever move). We then transfer the weight of the foundation to the piers by securely attaching brackets that latch onto the piers and underneath the footing of the foundation. After we transfer the weight, we can then get into the real magic, as seen by this before and after set. We can then attempt to lift a foundation back up by using hydraulic fluid, which can close gaps and cracks in the home. If you look closely at the difference between the depth of the crack before and after we lifted the foundation, you can notice we shrunk it significantly. The project left the home stabilized, the cracks closed, and the doors and windows working again.

This homeowner's garage was very moldy and leaked often. With plans of remodeling ir, they knew they had to waterproof their garage once and for all. With this, comes our triple threat plan consisting of our Waterguard drains, our Super Pump, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now our customer is able to think freely on how they want to use their new space.

This driveway in Hebron, Kentucky was in need of a PolyLevel job. The owner was concerned because the uneven slabs of concrete in their driveway could result in accidents. Their driveway was a high traffic area for their family, which contained young children and elderly adults. Not wanting to risk anyone from tripping on the concrete, the homeowners gave us a call. We were able to inject poly and lift the concrete slabs back to an even level. 

This home had a backyard deck that was sagging. The best and easiest way to fix it for the customer was to install a system of SmartJacks under the decks foundation. We were able to strengthen the support beam back and straighten it back out.
