The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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. 

This Erlanger, KY basement had old, ineffective braces that were no longer holding back a visibly bowing wall - you can see the lean just to the right of the door frame in the before photo. Our crew removed the outdated supports and replaced them with our PowerBrace system, which uses heavy-duty steel beams anchored to the floor and joists to permanently stabilize and to potentially straighten the wall out over time. You may also noticed we wrapped the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, giving the basement a clean, bright appearance while sealing out moisture behind the bracing system. What was once a failing, visibly bowed wall is now straight, secure, and protected with a modern system built to last.

This sunroom had settled away from the rest of the home causing gaps, cracks, and other problems for the room. We stabilized this room by installing nine push piers around the perimeter of it. The push piers will ensure that this room stops settling. We installed three of the push piers on the left side of the room through the concrete patio. We then covered the patio with concrete, concealing the piers completely.

This chimney was starting to tilt away from the home, leaving the sealant between the chimney and the home compromised. If left unattended, the chimney could become damaged beyond repair. Luckily, the homeowner gave us a call so we could fix it with our peer underpinning system right away. Now, the chimney is stabilized and lifted back to where it was originally built. The homeowner can now seal the chimney for good.
