The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This home in Cincinnati, OH, had a settling foundation that was resulting in cracks. The before picture shows our piers attached underneath the footing of the foundation, but not yet lifted. The after shows the closed gap after we lifted the footers with our hydraulic device. If you look really closely, you can even notice the change in the angle of the structure. Gone be sticky windows and doors!

In order to keep this crawl space safe from moisture, we placed down our CleanSpace crawl space liner, which will block out moisture from the earth. This liner went on top of our drainage matting, which can not be seen from the picture. The drainage matting helps drain water to the sump and also softens the area. We tape the liner at all seams with waterproof tape, and we button the liner up the walls of the crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which are made of an inorganic material and are unable to grow mold. 

When we installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system for this old foundation in Cincinnati, OH, we also wrapped all of the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is the perfect solution for moisture control in older homes with uneven stone foundations. CleanSpace is a reinforced polyethylene liner infused with UltraFresh antimicrobial to resist mold and bacteria growth. It also completely transforms the look of an older basement. The smell, feel, and look of this home was completely transformed for the better with this waterproofing system. 

We installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. WaterGuard drains, a TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and some crack cover walls will keep this basement dry.

We installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system for this foundation in Cincinnati, OH, to keep water away from the basement. We wrapped the entire perimeter of the basement with our WaterGuard subfloor drains, and we installed our most secure sump pump system - the TripleSafe (not pictured). The product that really transformed the look and feel of this basement though, was our CleanSpace vapor barrier wall system. This product immediately changed the look and smell in the basement, and it serves a functional purpose as well. The vapor barrier was tucked into our subfloor drainage system so that the vapor barrier can channel wall seepage moisture down into the drainage system beneath the floor. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome of the entire project, especially the new walls.
