The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

After encapsulating and insulating this crawl space, we installed the cherry on top, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier was invented by our Basement Systems team and is an exclusive product to our network, meaning you can only get this through us in our service area. Since being invented, it has been tested and tweaked over many years to have some of the best specs for a dehumidifier that does not have a clunky heat exchange core. 

Qualities and specs for this patented dehumidifier:

• Removes up to 4.17 pints of water from the air in an hour. That equals 100 pints a day!
• Automatic sensors to reduce energy use.
• Automatically discharges water.
• Special filters can remove mold spores, dust mites, and other particulates.
• Quiet noise level.

This basement in Blanchester, OH was leaking heavily and had large cracks forming in the corners — a common issue with poured concrete foundations. When these walls are pushed by external pressure (like water-saturated soil or frost), the corners often crack first because they’re the most rigid and least able to flex.

To fix the problem, we started by installing a full interior waterproofing system: WaterGuard subfloor drains along the perimeter, and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep water out for good. To address the structural issues, we stabilized the bowed walls using our steel PowerBrace system, locking them into place with long-term support. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall panels — not just for a cleaner look, but to help channel any future wall moisture directly into the drainage system.

What you're looking at, folks, is a basement relieved of serious pressure.

This home had a walkway that was sinking into the ground. We pumped under the concrete with PolyLevel foam in order to raise the concrete back to health. You can notice how the concrete lifted about 3-4 inches. 

A lot of people aren't aware of just how magical our PolyLevel concrete repair process can be. For this garage slab in Fayetteville, OH, that had some extreme cracks, we were able to level it all out. This job saved the homeowners from a painful & costly replacement job.

What started as a dark, damp crawl space in Mount Orab, OH was creating problems no homeowner wants—musty smells, cold floors, and the potential for mold. The space was unsealed and exposed to the elements, making it an ideal environment for moisture and pests.

That’s where we came in. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, completely sealing off the crawl space from the earth. This durable liner not only locks out moisture but also brightens the space, giving it a cleaner, more finished look.

Now, instead of a damp, forgotten area beneath the home, the crawl space is dry, protected, and contributing to better air quality and energy efficiency throughout the house. The transformation is dramatic—and the peace of mind is priceless.
