The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us regarding a porch that was sinking.  We used PolyLevel injections to resolve the problems for the homeowner. PolyLevel Foam is able to raise concrete slabs on sidewalks, driveways, and porches.  Small holes are drilled into the concrete, and then the PolyLevel foam is injected under the concrete to be raised. The PolyLevel Foam fills the voids underneath the concrete slab and raises it up. The hole that was drilled into the concrete was patched, and the porch will be ready to walk on again in about 15 minutes. Note how the gap is closed between the siding on the home and then concrete slab. 

This home had a damp and musty basement that was affecting the health of the owner and the rest of the house. Like we always say, the best time to waterproof is sooner rather than later. You don't want to put up with a musty basement your whole tenure just to have to fix it because no one will accept the condition of the basement when it's time to sell your home. With WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, this basement will stay dry during the wettest months of the year. We also added a couple of SmartJack posts to help strengthen the floor joists, which will get rid of the sloped floors above. 

The concrete slabs surrounding this pool deck in Amelia, OH, had settled unevenly, leaving many tripping hazards around the pool. We leveled out all the slabs for the homeowner by injecting the concrete with our PolyLevel foam. After leveling, we then sealed the gaps and joints with our NexusPro sealant. The result was a safe & clean pool deck and a very happy homeowner.

This sunken and uneven concrete slab had become a nuisance to the homeowners. Located right outside of their back door, this was where their kids, dogs, and friends frequented. You see, because the slab had sunked so far, dirt, leaves, and other debris easily gathered on top of the stoop. If the homeowner did not sweep the slab everyday, their kids would be sure to track all of that debris into their home. We made sure that this slab would no longer be a magnet for leaves by raising it 3-4 inches with our foam jacking methods. Now, the homeowners don't have to worry about sweeping every day. 

The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by external pressure over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remained stable, our PowerBrace system was employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specifically designed to spread the wall’s weight across the basement floor and ceiling joists, prevent further damage to these areas. These braces are straightforward to install, typically taking just one day, and can gradually restore the wall to its original position. Additionally, their flexible design allows them to be fitted around obstacles, such as a fuse box.
