The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

We installed a Sunhouse window enclosure for a homeowner in Cincinnati. The Sunhouse window enclosure will allow natural light to enter the basement and help block out water and debris.

This home's basement was quite messy and was leaking water. We installed a Super Sump sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace walls, and WaterGuard drains in order to waterproof this basement. These products are all amazing on their own, but when combined together, they are able to completely transform the functionality and look of a damp basement. 

This landing platform for this concrete stairwell in Latonia, KY, had sunken too far into the ground. This tilted landing platform was a nuisance for anyone who wanted to access their stair well. We made the landing platform even again by raising it with our foam jacking methods. Our patented PolyLevel foam is lighter, cleaner, and stronger than mud jacking methods. 

The bottom half of this drywall became compromised due to excess exposure to moisture. To waterproof this basement with our subfloor drainage system, we first needed to cut out the damaged parts of the drywall. After we cut the drywall and installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains underneath the concrete, we then installed our EverLast wall panels to replace the damaged drywall. The Everlast panels are waterproof and look beautiful. They are also made of vinyl and come in a variety of neutral colors, so that they match any wall. 

Before: This basement in Covington, KY, was struggling with constant moisture issues. Water would seep in around the perimeter during heavy rains, and the space had a damp, musty feel that was beginning to affect the air quality in the rest of the home.

After: To permanently solve the issue, we installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system for reliable water removal — even during power outages. Along the basement perimeter, we added our WaterGuard® drainage system, which collects incoming water and channels it directly to the pump. We also sealed the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, protecting against moisture while giving the space a cleaner, brighter look.

Now the basement is dry, protected, and ready for the long haul.
