The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

We recently completed a waterproofing project in an older home out in Covington, Kentucky. Before our project, the basement would practically flood anytime it rained. The owners grew tired of having to vacuum the water out each time it rained, so they decided to take care of it once and for all. It was a very prototypical waterproof job for us that required our WaterGuard subfloor drains, a Super Sump Plus sump pump, an Ultra Sump 4 battery backup system, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This new system replaced their outdated existing exterior waterproofing system. After installation, the owners had no problem with rain and they can now focus on other better things to do with their time instead of constantly cleaning water out of their basement. 

This wet, dingy crawl space in Versailles, OH, was more than due for an upgrade. Their existing waterproofing system had footer drains on the outside of the foundation, which eventually clogged. They also had a sump pump system that was completely outdated. Lastly, they had no vapor barrier system, which was allowing moisture to run rampant in the space. We first replaced the waterproofing system with interior drains and our SmartSump sump pump. We then encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and our SilverGlo insulation panels. The homeowner was very impressed with the outcome.

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!

The wall in this Cincinnati, OH, basement was leaking and cracking. We ended up bracing, waterproofing, and concealing the wall with our PowerBrace steel beams, our WaterGuard subfloor drains, and our BrightWall paneling system. By relieving the wall of hydrostatic pressure, the homeowner became relieved of worrisome thoughts about their home. 

This back patio in Cincinnati, OH, had slabs that had settled down into troublesome dirt unevenly, causing the patio to be littered with tripping hazards. Even worse, all the uneven slabs rendered patio furniture unstable and unusable. To get this patio back to a plum level, we used our PolyLevel foam jacking method to raise and stabilize each individual slab. Putting all the slabs back together is kind of like a puzzle, which our crew enjoys about their work.
