The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

After seeing our commercial on TV, this homeowner in Cincinnati, OH, realized that he was experiencing some of the problems displayed in our advertisement. The homeowner had a 115 year old home with a stone foundation that leaked often, so we got to waterproofing it. We installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing solution with our subfloor drainage system and a sump pump. The icing on the cake though, is our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. This vapor barrier tucks into our WaterGuard system, allowing us to drain moisture behind the uneven stone wall. The walls are also made of an inorganic, antimicrobial material, so they will never smell.

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, OH, home had started pulling away from the house due to foundation settlement, leaving a visible gap. The crack grew in depth as the crack ran up the joint where the chimney and home met, a sure sign the chimney was pulling away. We installed helical piers and used hydraulic pressure to lift the chimney back into position against the home. The structure is now level, secure, permanently stabilized, and ready to be sealed again. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see the transformation.

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. 

We installed a SunHouse window well and enclosure for a homeowner in Cincinnati, OH. This new window well system replaced their rusting existing well to help provide a better seal against moisture, improved natural light, and a cleaner, more finished look around the basement window.
