The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This lower grade garage in Rising Sun, IN, leaked heavily every time it rained. The moisture left behind from the leaks seeped into the home, and the homeowners grew tired of the musty smells. We waterproofed the garage by installing our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter, which are pitched down to our SuperSump that we installed in the lowest graded part of the basement. Now that the basement is waterproofed, the homeowners can look forward to a cleaner smelling home and a dry garage space.

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.

As part of replacing a homes entire waterproofing system in Warsaw, KY, we replaced the sump pump system. The old sump pit had virtually no water in it because the exterior drains had clogged in the dirt outside the home. After we installed our interior drainage system to replace the clogged system, we then replaced the sump pump as well with our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe was equipped with three different pumping systems, including one that is backed by a battery backup system (the battery was just outside the frame of the photo). This battery backup system is just one of the many reasons why our waterproofing systems are more secure than others. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.

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. 

Whenever the owner of this home had to take the sidewalk to reach their walk out basement, they would often lose balance. The sidewalk and stairs had tilted away from the home, leaving them unlevel. They tilted away from the home because the soil on the hillside had washed down and away from the home over time. In order to make the stairs and sidewalk level again, we injected our polyurethane foam under the side that sunk down. Through this process, we were able to level everything out and seal all the gaps. The homeowner can now travel down the stairs safely again.
