The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

We underpinned the corner of this Covington, KY, home with our helical piers in order to stop the foundation from settling. In order to underpin the corner, we first had to expose the footer by excavating around the corner. We then drilled our screw shaped piers into load-bearing soil found deep in the earth. We then attached the ends of the piers to the footer by using our "L" shaped brackets. We then attempted to lift the foundation with our hydraulic system. We finished the job by backfilling the trench with the dug up soil. 

The concrete ramp leading up to this home in Morning View, KY, made this home wheelchair accessible. But after the soil settled over time, and cracks started to appear in the ramp. These cracks made it difficult to access the home, so the homeowners gave us a call to make them disappear. After we lifted up all the sunken parts of the slabs with our PolyLevel foam, we then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowners were very happy with the result of their project, and their home is now much more accessible. 

This wet, dingy crawl space in Versailles, OH, was more than due for an upgrade. Their existing waterproofing system had footer drains on the outside of the foundation, which eventually clogged. They also had a sump pump system that was completely outdated. Lastly, they had no vapor barrier system, which was allowing moisture to run rampant in the space. We first replaced the waterproofing system with interior drains and our SmartSump sump pump. We then encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and our SilverGlo insulation panels. The homeowner was very impressed with the outcome.

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.
