The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Franklin, Ohio, was dealing with a bowing foundation wall and water intrusion in the basement — a combination that only gets worse over time if left untreated.

To stabilize the foundation, we installed PowerBraces, a steel I-beam system designed to straighten walls over time without any invasive exterior digging. Along the perimeter, we laid in our WaterGuard® drainage system, which captures groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and channels it to a sump pump.

We paired the system with our TripleSafe® sump pump (not pictured), which includes three layers of protection — a primary pump, a secondary pump for high-volume situations, and a battery backup to keep things running during power outages. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall® paneling, a clean, moisture-resistant covering that not only brightens the space but also directs any wall seepage into the WaterGuard system below.

This basement in California, KY, was dealing with water intrusion and a bowing foundation wall. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system and lined the walls with CleanSpace to keep moisture out and improve air quality. A sump pump (not shown) was added to handle water removal efficiently. To stabilize the bowing wall, we used PowerBraces, which stop further movement and add long-term support. Now the space is dry, protected, and structurally sound.

This customers sump pump that they purchased through one of our competitors was not up to standard. We were glad to help them out and switch the old pump with one of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Their sump pump transformed from a liability to a dependability. 

This customer wanted a bigger window that would allow for an emergency exit if needed be. The homeowners just placed a bedroom in their basement, and in order for someone to live in that room, there needed to be an egress window that would allow for an exit. 

The driveway for this home was sinking into the ground and was causing problems for the owner whenever they pulled in and out of their garage. We were able to lift it with Polylevel and make the driveway a lot more smooth.
