The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This home had a bowing wall and water leaking issues. These two problems are commonly seen paired together due to hydrostatic pressure built up outside the foundation, (it also didn't help that their existing beams were failing due to poor material). First, we installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump to deal with the water issues. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to ensure that the wall does not move horizontally anymore.

This basement in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, had ongoing water issues that were leaving the space damp and unusable. The homeowner needed a permanent solution to stop the leaks and clean up the environment.

We installed our WaterGuard® drainage system around the interior perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. From there, water is directed to a TripleSafe® sump pump, which provides triple-layer protection — including a battery backup to keep the system running during power outages.

To finish the walls, we installed Foamax® insulated paneling, which adds both moisture resistance and thermal value. The result? A clean, dry, and brighter basement that’s now ready for storage or finishing.

Our technicians sealed the concrete sorrounding this pool with our NexusPro sealant in order to keep water and debris away from the gaps. This is especially important near poolsides where chlorine based water can eat away between your slabs!

This home had a musty smell and bugs coming up from the crawlspace. We fixed these problems by encapsulating it with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels as well. 

In Okeana, OH, the homeowners were having trouble with water collecting in their basement from exterior French drains. During heavy rains, they worried about water overwhelming their sump pit and didn’t feel confident in their existing setup, (not pictured). We installed a SuperSump system with an UltraSump battery backup to give them reliable protection, even during power outages. Since the exterior French drains were already carrying water to the pit, no extra drainage was needed. The result is a dependable waterproofing system that keeps their basement dry and worry-free.
