The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

Our helical piers were installed in this house's foundation to save the house from sinking. The piers cause little disturbance and are concealed beneath the home!

These pool area slabs in Cincinnati, OH, had settled unevenly, resulting in a large lip to form just past the handrail in the before photo. In order to fix this tripping hazard, we had to inject PolyLevel foam underneath the slabs on this side of the pool to level everything out. We commonly see poolsides have troubling concrete issues because of soil washout. When water gets underneath the slabs it can cause the soil to get muddied, allowing the concrete to settle. A great aspect about PolyLevel is, unlike mudjacking slurry, PolyLevel is a closed-cell polyurethane foam that does not absorb water, and once it expands and cures, it maintains its shape and volume. The result was a happy homeowner who was relieved there are no longer any tripping hazards near their pool. 

We used our Polylevel injections to level out these driveway slabs for a homeowner in Mason, Ohio. Tripping hazards be gone!

This home in Wyoming, Ohio was experiencing some issues with settling. The customer specifically noted their floors were sloping throughout the house, and they had a crawl space that was 2 feet high. We were able to stabilize this sinking foundation by installing a system of helical piers along the side of the home that was sinking. As you can see, the footing on this home was probably not deep enough to prevent settling. Either way, we were able to combat this problem by ensuring our piers were attached correctly to the foundation, driven into load-bearing strata, and we even lifted the home a little bit with our hydraulic system. You can see the hydraulic system in the before picture by looking at the attached red and blue hoses. We were able to straighten out the floors in the home and were able to ensure the home won't settle any more. 

We installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. WaterGuard drains, a TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and some crack cover walls will keep this basement dry.
