The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

When we installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing system for this wet basement in Dayton, Ohio, we used our TripleSafe for the sump pump system. The TripleSafe is our most secure pump system, as it comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one. If the primary pump becomes overwhelmed, then the second pump will kick on. If the second pump becomes overwhelmed, then the third pump will help kick in. If the power goes out in the home, then the battery backup system will kick on. There's no better pump system than the TripleSafe!

In the after picture seen here, you can see two of our best products working in tandem to keep this basement dry. The white CleanSpace walls and our WaterGuard subfloor drains, (concealed beneath the fresh concrete) work together to drain water that may infiltrate from the floor and up above on the walls. These two systems are tied together and work as one to help lead the water down towards the sump pump system we also installed. Our CleanSpace walls also help conceal stained walls and must!

In Dayton, OH, we leveled an interior bedroom slab using PolyLevel foam. The floor’s slope between the baseboard and the floor improved from 20.15 degrees to 18.90 degrees, closing the gap along the edge and creating a smoother, more even surface that feels solid underfoot. The homeowner was very happy afterwards, and even left us a review.

This crawl spaces floor in Dayton, OH, looked like it belonged on mars. All of the dust particles kept leaking into the upstairs level of the home, causing the homeowners breathing troubles. The crawl space was also very humid, which could cause the wooden framing to deteriorate at a rapid pace - if not accounted for. The homeowners decided they had enough one day, and called us out to encapsulate their crawl space, The Basement Doctor way. we installed drainage matting all over the floor, wrapped the walls in SilverGlo insulation, encapsulated the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and then set up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The result completely transformed the feel of the home, even from upstairs. 

The main beam in the ceiling of this basement had become warped from excessive use. To add extra support and to stop the floors from sagging from the floor above, we installed SmartJacks and a supplemental beam across the main beam. The result was a success.
