The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This sunken stoop in Milford, OH, needed to be raised for several reasons. First, the high step posed a potential tripping hazard. Additionally, the uneven stoop and sidewalk created an unsightly appearance. Raising the sidewalk also meant less dirt accumulation, reducing the need for frequent sweeping. Using our PolyLevel foam, we lifted and leveled both the stoop and the connecting sidewalk, then sealed the joints and gaps for a seamless finish.

This stoop had settled about nine inches into the ground at its lowest part. We raised and leveled the stoop and connecting sidewalk to make for a seamless stroll. You can see how far we raised the stoop by looking at the highlighted area in the before picture, and comparing that gap to the same area in the after photo. Thanks to our quick curing PolyLevel foam, the homeowners were able to use their sidewalk again almost immediately after we left. Not too shabby for a job completed in less than an hour or two. 

This house that we set out to waterproof was built in 1937 and had a block wall foundation. The relatively new owners of the home loved everything about the house, except for the fact that it leaked water every time it rained. In the before picture, you can actually see the damp spot on the floor closest to the wall. To waterproof it, we installed WaterGuard drains all around the interior perimeter of the basement, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and BrightWall paneling to give the walls a nice clean look. The homeowners won't have to worry about musty smells everytime it rains anymore. 

We used our Polylevel injections to raise concrete slabs that had settled over time. The foam was injected under the concrete slabs, which filled the voids under the slabs and lifted them to a proper grade above the surrounding soil. We also sealed the gaps between the slabs after everything was leveled.

This driveway was shifting and causing the concrete slabs to crack and separate from one another. After we used PolyLevel foam and sealant to reconnect them, the driveway was back to looking good.
