The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This high traffic sidewalk needed some repairing so the children attending this school would be safe from tripping. On top of fixing the concrete outside of the main entrance for the school, we also repaired this sidewalk. Sidewalks adjacent to a large street can be susceptible to a phenomena called street creep. As the adjacent road goes through cycles of contraction and expansion throughout the year, it can affect nearby concrete structures. It also didn't help that this sidewalk was right next to some trees, where roots can accelerate the aging of the sidewalk. Roots are not only strong, they can also suck the moisture out of the dirt underneath the sidewalk, which can make the sidewalk sink. Either way, we fixed the problem by injecting the slabs with our PolyLevel foam. This polyurethane foam is extremely lightweight and strong, and helped raise the slabs back into place. After everything was leveled out, we then sealed the injection holes and the gaps between the slabs. The result is a sidewalk that is safe for all the kids to walk across. 

External forces like hydrostatic pressure can cause your foundation walls to cave in. No worries though, we have the solution. Our steel I-beams called PowerBraces are not your ordinary I-beams. They are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, and they can handle very strong loads. Also, they were designed to prevent damage to your floor joists, as their special brackets can be tightened to straighten the wall back out.

This basement was falling apart before we stepped in. Persistent leaks left behind stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure pushed against the foundation, causing the walls to bow and crack. Moisture crept into the wooden floor joists, leading to damage and musty odors. Now, this basement is dry, stable, and built to last thanks to:

• PowerBrace wall repair system
• TripleSafe sump pump
• BriteWall wall paneling system
• WaterGuard subfloor drains
• Our dedicated crew

A complete transformation from top to bottom.

This basement was in rough shape before we got to work. Constant leaks left stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure caused the foundation walls to bow and crack. Moisture weakened the wooden floor joists and created musty odors throughout the space. We firsts waterproofed the foundation with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. We then contained moisture by installing our BriteWall panels, which will channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. We finished the job by installing our steel PowerBraces to keep the walls stabilized. Now, it's dry, secure, and built to last!

The bottom third of this drywall became soaked with moisture and started to grow must. When we gave a free quote to the homeowners, we showed them our EverLast drywall repair system, which is perfect for occasions like this. You see, in order to install our waterproofing system we have to cut the drywall to be able to install our WaterGuard subfloor drains. When we cut them, we can replace them with our waterproof Everlast panels, which look great. You won't have to worry about them growing musty smells or getting damaged from water thanks to their vinyl composition. They come in neutral colors and are washable, making for the perfect drywall replacement system.
