The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cincinnati had a few concrete sidewalk slabs that were sinking so they called us and scheduled an appointment with us to find a solution to this problem. We recommended Polylevel injections to raise these slabs. You can really see just how high we were able to raise this slab if you look at the horizontal line near the brown smoke chamber the bottom of the chimney in the before picture. That's precisely where we were asked to raise the slab back to. 

A homeowner in Cincinnati wanted to have their crawl space insulated, and so they called us for help.  The homeowner met with one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that we install a CleanSpace encapsulation system along with drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, rim joist insulation, and an Everlast door to resolve the problems in the crawlspace.   In these photos, you can see the difference the CleanSpace and SilverGlo have made in this crawl space.  The CleanSpace provides as a mold and vapor barrier, while keeping the crawl space clean. The SilverGlo will insulate the crawl space, keeping the floors warm in the winter. The CleanSpace also really brightens up the crawl space, making it much easier for the homeowner to access when needed.

The stairs leading to the front door of this customers home was raised back to normalcy with our poly leveling services.

We installed our regular interior perimeter waterproofing system for this basement. Seen in the after picture is a TripleSafe sump pump equipped with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, fresh concrete poured over WaterGuard drains, and CleanSpace walls. 

In order to keep this crawl space safe from moisture, we placed down our CleanSpace crawl space liner, which will block out moisture from the earth. This liner went on top of our drainage matting, which can not be seen from the picture. The drainage matting helps drain water to the sump and also softens the area. We tape the liner at all seams with waterproof tape, and we button the liner up the walls of the crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which are made of an inorganic material and are unable to grow mold.
