The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us because noticed musty odors in their basement shortly after purchasing their home. They suspected that they were going to need a new waterproofing system, since they wanted to finish their basement as well. We told them it would be wise to install a waterproofing system, and that we could finish their basement for them with all of our 100% moisture proof products. They really liked how all of our products worked together, so they gave us the go ahead to finish the basement as well. After waterproofing with our interior perimeter subfloor drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump system, we then began on finishing. We started by removing all the furring strips, and then installing our Basement to Beautiful insulation panels. These insulation panels are waterproof and will help drain water to the subfloor drains as well. These panels will also help the homeowners save lots of money on energy bills. We then installed our Everlast wall panels over the insulation panels to give the walls a finished look. Everlast walls are waterproof as well, and are easily washable thanks to their vinyl finish. We then installed the new floors with our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring system. These planks look like well refined wood, but are made of inorganic material making them completely waterproof. They also have pegs that raise them off of the concrete floor, providing better insulation and a path for moisture to drain through. We finally added some trim, did some electrical work, and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to top it all off. 

The chimney on this Cincinnati home had started pulling away from the house due to foundation settlement, leaving a visible gap.  We installed helical piers and used hydraulic pressure to lift the chimney back into position against the home. The structure is now level, secure, and permanently stabilized. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see the transformation.

This homeowner in Cincinnati, OH, was dealing with an over used sump pump. You see, their old waterproofing system had footer drains that were wrapped around the foundation in the soil outside the home. Overtime, these drains began to clog and channel mud into the sump pump. When this happens, the sump pump can break down from overuse, which is exactly what happened in this situation. We replaced their outdated waterproofing system with our patented interior system. Our WaterGuard drains were installed inside the home around the basement floor. By placing our drains on top of the homes footing, we are able to keep them out of the "mudzone" located outside the home. Because of this, the drains are much less likely to clog, the sump pump won't break down as quickly, and we are able to service the system from inside the home. The homeowner was very happy with our system because we didn't have to dig around their foundation and because the system is full proof. 

We installed this Turtl crawl space door in Cincinnati, OH, to give this homeowner easy access into the crawl space, while also keeping the space sealed tight when closed. The Turtl is made of a very durable material, won't ever need paint, and can be locked from the outside. This door is a perfect choice for people with encapsulated crawl spaces who want to store items beneath their home.
