The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

The foundation of this Fairborn, OH, home was settling, which had caused a gap to appear between the brick wall and the slab foundation. To repair the sinking foundation, we underpinned the footing of the slab with our helical pier system. This repair process also allowed us to lift the foundation back up against the brick, effectively closing the gap. Inversely, the gaps that appeared inside the home had closed up as well, including the gap between the baseboard and vinyl flooring.

After encapsulating and insulating this crawl space, we installed the cherry on top, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier was invented by our Basement Systems team and is an exclusive product to our network, meaning you can only get this through us in our service area. Since being invented, it has been tested and tweaked over many years to have some of the best specs for a dehumidifier that does not have a clunky heat exchange core. 

Qualities and specs for this patented dehumidifier:

• Removes up to 4.17 pints of water from the air in an hour. That equals 100 pints a day!
• Automatic sensors to reduce energy use.
• Automatically discharges water.
• Special filters can remove mold spores, dust mites, and other particulates.
• Quiet noise level.

A lot of people aren't aware of just how magical our PolyLevel concrete repair process can be. For this garage slab in Fayetteville, OH, that had some extreme cracks, we were able to level it all out. This job saved the homeowners from a painful & costly replacement job.

This bowed wall in Wilmington, OH was a serious concern for the homeowners. The visible gap in the middle of the wall aligned with the frost line outside, where soil pressure is typically strongest. To correct the issue, we installed our PowerBrace system, which stabilizes the wall without damaging floor joists and resists rust for long-term protection. For this project, we excavated along the outside of the foundation to relieve soil pressure, allowing us to tighten the braces and close the gap immediately. The result is a stabilized foundation and peace of mind for the homeowners knowing their wall is secure and supported for years to come.
