The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Franklin, OH, was dealing with moisture related issues like wet fiberglass, wet wood, and musty smells. We installed an encapsulation system to seal out moisture from the outside and from the ground. By wrapping the walls with our SilverGlo insulation, ripping out the musty fiberglass, sealing the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and finishing with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installation, we were able to effectively get the moisture under control and improve the insulation system. Now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about musty smells, framing damage, or high energy bills. 

The floor joists in the ceiling of this crawl space were sagging due to moisture damage and insufficient lally column support. This was causing the floors above the crawl space to sag in certain spots. We installed a couple rows of our SmartJack posts to straighten out and support the floors above. We then encapsulated the crawl space with our white antimicrobial vapor barrier, our graphite insulation panels (along the walls), and our automated dehumidifier (not pictured). This encapsulation system will protect the wood from further moisture damage, keeping the framing as healthy as possible. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like the existing lally columns were. They are also way stronger than the lally columns, and won't sink into the floor, thanks to their engineered "light bulb of influence" design. This customer was stoked that they could now walk on the first floor of their home without feeling like the floors could cave in at any moment. 

The wall in this basement in California, KY, was not only leaking, it was also actively bowing inwards. Our Inspector was easily able to diagnose both issues just by looking at the moisture stained paneling system and the ceiling panels, which were all out of whack due to the wall shifting inwards. We waterproofed this wall by installing our WaterGuard subfloor drains at the base of the wall, and then we connected the drains to our SuperSump Plus sump pump system, (which was attached with our battery backup system). We then covered the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to drain any moisture that may transfer through the porous concrete down into our subfloor system. To stabilize the moving wall, we braced it with our PowerBraces. These braces are made of galvanized steel, and they can be tightened throughout time to straighten the wall back out. This homeowner was happy with the outcome.

We used our Polylevel injections to level out these driveway slabs for a homeowner in Mason, Ohio. This concrete driveway repair project didn't just level out all the slabs, it also left it stabilized for good. Our lightweight PolyLevel foam expanded into the voids beneath the driveway, helping compact the problematic soil. Tripping hazards be gone!

This customers sump pump that they purchased through one of our competitors was not up to standard. We were glad to help them out and switch the old pump with one of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Their sump pump transformed from a liability to a dependability.
