The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This huge crawl space located in Loveland, OH was cold, dark, and wet. In order to make it warm, dry, and bright we encapsulated it for the homeowner! We started by installing our SilverGlo foam insulation panels all over the walls. We then waterproofed the crawl space by installing perforated pipes in trenches all around the perimeter. The drainage pipes were connected to a SmartSump sump pump, which we installed in the lowest corner of the crawl space. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier all over the floor and up the walls of the crawl space in order to isolate the crawl space from the earth. The vapor barrier also brightens the crawl space thanks to its white reflective color. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to make sure this ginormous space stays dry 24/7. The result of this project made the homeowners very happy, knowing their homes foundation is protected for the future. 

The soil underneath this poolside concrete in Loveland, OH, was washing out. This was causing the concrete to slope too far down and away from the pool, leaving slight gaps in the mortar joints. After we leveled out all the slabs using PolyLevel foam, we then sealed the joints using our NexusPro joint sealant. This sealant will make sure water, chlorine, dirt, and other types of debris wont infiltrate underneath the slabs. The sealant is also UV-resistant, which is perfect for areas that receive a lot of sun. There's no doubt that this poolside concrete will last a much longer time. 

We encapsulated this shallow crawl space in Maineville, OH, in order to keep the home fresh and strong. When we wrapped the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the homeowners noticed a difference in the smell almost immediately. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the wall in order to keep the floor above warm in the winter. The homeowners were very happy with the outcome.

This homeowner had two egress windows installed by another company in their basement, and these windows began to leak shortly after they were installed, (as evidence by the towels all over the floor in the before picture.) The dry wall became damaged and musty, so we suggested that we install a drainage system and we replace the wet drywall with our EverLast moisture proof panels. We first started by carefully cutting the drywall so we could install our drainage system. Our drainage system included of two WellDuct drains in the two egress windows, WaterGuard subfloor drains, and a SuperSump sump pump attached with our UltraSump battery backup system. This system will make sure water doesn't build up near the leaky windows. We then replaced the drywall we took out with our EverLast wall panels. Our EverLast wall panels are made of a vinyl material, and won't grow mold or get damaged from moisture. They also tuck into the drainage system, and they look great next to any type of wall. This job teaches a valuable lesson, if you are going to get egress windows installed, make sure its a company who understands how waterproofing works like us. Be sure to read the attached case study at the bottom to learn about another similar job that almost led to devastating consequences. 

The apron of this driveway in Milford, OH, had a culvert underneath it that was washing all the soil away. There was a massive cavity underneath the apron of the driveway, and the driveway was at a massive risk of breaking off. We filled this cavity with our PolyLevel foam, which was able to expand and fill all the gaps, giving the apron a supporting force to make sure it holds up. The foam will also make sure water doesn't reach further underneath the driveway, preventing washout to other areas of the concrete. Our polyurethane composition cures very quickly, so the homeowners could get back to using their driveway almost immediately after we left.
