The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

The owners of this basement needed a new waterproofing system because their basement had leaked three times in the past seven years. Their plumber said their existing waterproofing system was the problem, and they were right. Fed up with their leaks, The homeowners decided to give us a call so we could fix their problems for good. We replaced their existing system with all new products like our WaterGuard subfloor drains, our TripleSafe sump pump, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. After we waterproofed, we then got to the fun part. We installed our EverLast drywall repair panels so that they could replace the bottom halves of their musty walls. The great thing about our EverLast system is that the panels can get wet and they won't grow mold or must! These walls will also help channel moisture to the drainage system under the floor. Now that the musty smells are gone, these homeowners can get back to hosting watch parties. Who Dey!

We waterproofed this basement in Middletown, OH, and we wanted to highlight our drywall replacement panels as part of the system. When we dug around the perimeter of the basement to install our WaterGuard subfloor drains, we needed to also cut out the lower parts of the drywall to make room for the drains. This drywall was already ruined by moisture, so the homeowners didn't bear any mind, especially since we offered the perfect replacement solution. After installing our waterproofing system, we then installed our EverLast panels to replace the moisture soaked drywall we cut out. These panels are made of vinyl, (inorganic in composition) so they won't ever be ruined by water. They come in different colors and have a nice trim to them. They can also be customized for electrical outlets, as seen here. The homeowner was appreciative that they fit perfectly with our waterproofing system and that they didn't have to deal with yet another contractor for their basement woes.

This pier underpinning project to stabilize this sinking foundation required us to tear down a fake wall. This homeowner was a previous client of ours when we stabilized the backside of their garage. They were happy with the job we did, so they had us out again to install more piers. This time, we stabilized the front side.

This home in Alexandria, KY relied on an old sump pump connected to an exterior foundation drain system. While exterior systems are common in older homes, they often clog over time and are difficult to service since repairs require digging up the yard and foundation. We replaced the outdated setup with our TripleSafe sump pump, tied directly into our WaterGuard interior perimeter system. Unlike exterior drains, this interior system is serviceable, reliable, and built to keep the basement dry year-round. 

The family living in this home loved their pool, and were disgruntled that the slabs surrounding the pool were sinking into the soil, causing the slabs to crack. We injected PolyLevel foam under the slabs to raise the slabs back to an even level. We then sealed the cracks using NexusPro sealant, ensuring pool and rain water won't be able to enter between the concrete cracks. A family that contains young children and older grandparents shouldn't have to worry about them tripping over uneven concrete slabs around their pool.
