The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

It may be hard to tell from the photo, but the carpet in this basement in Florence, KY, was absolutely soaked. We waterproofed this basement to make sure any new carpet that gets replaced stays as dry as a bone. Seen in the after picture is our TripleSafe sump pump connected to our subfloor WaterGuard drains. When we cut the drywall out, we made sure to do so carefully so the homeowner has an easy time replacing it. Our TripleSafe sump pump hosts a battery backup system to make sure this finished basement stays dry, even in the event of a power outage. The TripleSafe has an air-tight lid that is flush with the floor, so it doesn't take up much space and won't leak moisture into the basement.

This homeowner in Walton, KY, was having trouble with their current waterproofing system. When replacing their system, we made sure to give their sump pump an upgrade as well. Seen in the after picture is our TripleSafe sump pump, our most secure system. It comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one that will provide power to the system in case of power failure. The air-tight lid comes with a nifty alarm system and an airtight floor drain.

This crawl space was emitting musty smells up to the first floor of this home. In order to stop the musty smells, we were going to have to do a full encapsulation. We encapsulate our crawl spaces with CleanSpace lining, which goes all over the floors, around the concrete piers, and partly up the walls. We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls which are amazing at retaining heat, helping people save money on energy bills. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to remove up to 100 pints of water out the air in a day. 

This part of the sidewalk leading up to the front porch had sunk a good three to four inches into the ground, which was a growing nuisance for the homeowners. This made things like carrying groceries into the home much more dangerous than before. The slab was also directing rain water down underneath the gap between the sidewalk and the front porch. By raising the sidewalk with our foam jacking services, we were able to eliminate both of the aforementioned problems. The sidewalk also looks a lot better, and is prevented from sinking any time soon.

This crawl space in Somerville, Ohio was damp, poorly insulated, and contributing to uncomfortable conditions inside the home. We transformed it with a full encapsulation system featuring SilverGlo™ insulation panels, spray foam along the rim joists, drainage matting, and a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal out moisture. To control humidity long-term, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The “before” photos reveal a musty, unprotected space—while the “after” images show a clean, dry, energy-efficient environment built to last.
