The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This block wall foundation in Fort Thomas, KY, was pushing inward - and it was at a pretty severe stage of wall failure. We recommended that we install a wall repair system consisting of three of our PowerBraces in order to save the wall. These PowerBraces connect to the floor joists at the top will specialized brackets - which are designed to prevent floor joist movement. These brackets allow us to tighten the braces to straighten the wall out over time. You may also notice that we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also waterproofed this space by wrapping perforated drains underneath the floor, laying our dimpled membrane matting underneath the CleanSpace floor, and installing a SuperSump sump pump, (not pictured). The homeowner was not only relieved from the worry of a caving wall, but they were also happy with the added benefit of a dry and clean space.

We installed a new RockWell window well and a basement egress window in this West Chester, Ohio home. The before picture was taken after was sawed a concrete rectangle out of the wall.

In Farmersville, Ohio, this crawl space was experiencing excess moisture, musty odors, and poor insulation—common issues that can affect the entire home. We performed a complete encapsulation, installing drainage matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, spray foam on rim joists, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The “before” photos show a damp, neglected space, while the “after” images highlight a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space that helps protect the home from the ground up.

In Middletown, OH, these homeowners had a large tripping hazard on their back patio where two slabs had settled unevenly. The problem was so severe that they kept a bench over the back door just to cover it up. Our team lifted the sunken concrete back into place with PolyLevel and sealed the joints with NexusPro, leaving the patio level, safe, and ready to use again. Editor's note: They painted the side of their house a different color before we started the project. 

This customer was frustrated with their driveway because whenever they pulled out of their garage, they would feel the slight bumps in their driveway, making their commute to work more aggravating than it needed to be. We were able to help them by sealing all slabs of their driveway concrete back together, all on the same plane. No longer could the customer get mad at their "stupid" driveway in the mornings.
