The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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.

We raised these concrete slab using the Polylevel injection system, and we sealed the joints with NexusPro joint sealant.
