The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

Basements that have a lot of water built up around their foundation will likely experience two problems: Bowed walls & water intrusions. Unfortunately for this homeowner in Dayton, KY, they were experiencing these problems. We fixed both problems by installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system and our steel I-beam wall repair system. The steel I-Beams we use are called PowerBraces and are not your average I-beams. They are super strong and corrosion resistant, they are able to straighten walls out over time, and were designed to prevent floor joist damage. They can even be fitted with our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, as seen in the photo below. After installing our two systems, the basement walls were relieved of tremendous amounts of pressure.

A 100-year-old home was having issues with water seeping into the basement. After meeting with us, the homeowner decided on our BrightWall paneling system, our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, and our SuperSump premier sump pump system - equipped with an UltraSump battery backup system - to resolve the problems in the basement. 

BrightWall panels are used to cover the walls and will also help drain any wall leaks into the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. The WaterGuard intercepts the water and drains it into the sump pump system. The SuperSump premier sump pump will remove the water from the basement at an elite rate. The UltraSump is the battery back-up pump system, and will turn on if there is ever a pump or power failure.

These systems working together will create a dry, comfortable basement that can be used without worries of water intrusion. The bright white color really brightens up the basement. Look at the difference this has made in this basement. 

This large basement was having some issues with the snowy weather. The walls were also leaking a lot of cold air into the home. We installed our waterproofing system along with our Basement to Beautiful panels to fix both issues. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels cannot grow mold or hold moisture due to their inorganic materials, which makes them the perfect basement paneling option. These panels are our best option for insulating your basement. Their graphite infused material reflects heat back into the basement, and they have a 24% greater insulation value than other standard foam options.   These innovative panels allow your contractor to frame the wall and insulate at the same time, and are equipped with steel studs and built-in wiring channels.

We installed a new RockWell window well and a basement egress window in this West Chester, Ohio home. The before picture was taken after was sawed a concrete rectangle out of the wall.

This basement wall in West Chester, OH, was bowing inward due to years of soil pressure from the outside. Cracks were forming, and the homeowners were concerned about long-term structural damage.

We installed a system of CarbonArmor straps—high-strength carbon fiber reinforcement bonded directly to the foundation wall. This clean, non-invasive solution permanently stabilized the wall and gave the homeowners peace of mind without any major excavation.
