The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Hamersville, OH, had moisture run rampant, causing musty smells throughout the rest of the home. This was especially true in the spring and summer time, where wet air was being vented through the open crawl space vents. Conversely, in the winter time, cold air was being vented through the crawl space, causing cold floors and lots of money wasted on heating bills. By encapsulating the crawl space and replacing the failing insulation with our waterproof insulation panels, we fixed all these problems for the homeowner. 

We encapsulated this crawl space in Hamersville, OH, and we also replaced their access hatch. This access hatch will prove useful for the homeowners, know that the crawl space is treated and clean. This Turtl door can be locked, so the homeowners can now use their new space to store items. This hatch will also help keep unwanted air out of the crawl space thanks to its weather stripping. The homeowners are happy they can now easily access their crawl space whenever they so please.

This crawl space repair project in Hamersville, OH, was documented on video! If you want to check that out, you can head on over to the "videos" section on our website, or you can head on over to our Youtube channel! Anyways, we transformed this crawl space with one of our encapsulation systems. We also leveled out the floor joists by jacking up the main beam with one of our SmartJack systems. By eliminating moisture, ground water, sagging floors, and improving the insulation, these homeowners no longer have to worry about what is happening beneath their home. A dirt floored, open vented crawl space may be out of sight, but they definitely shouldn't be out of mind!

This crawl space in Hamersville, OH, had turned into a jungle over time due to excess moisture. This moisture had caused a lot of the wooden framing to become soft, the fiberglass insulation to become ineffective, the lally columns to rust, moldy air to seep into the rest of the home, etc, etc... We fixed these problems for the future by encapsulating the crawl space to stop the main culprit for all these problems, moisture. We also tore out all the fiberglass and installed our SilverGlo insulation along the block walls and sprayed foam insulation along the rim joists. We also helped the failing lally columns out by installing our SmartJack post system underneath the main beam in the crawl space. Another product that we used is our anabec mold cleanser, which you can really see the effects of from these photos. Just look at how well the wooden framing cleaned up!

This crawl space in Hamersville, OH, was running out of time. You see, the wooden foundation had become compromised due to mold and moisture. If not accounted for, the crawl space could have needed thousands in wooden repairs. These homeowners called us at just the right time, where we were able to stop moisture damage from occurring to the framing any longer. Our white CleanSpace vapor barrier was sealed everywhere along the crawl space, ensuring no moisture could seep in from anywhere. You can also see our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in this photo set, which will help keep this crawl space as dry as we want it to be, 24/7. This project probably saved the homeowners thousands of dollars in future costly repairs.
