The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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 They also had a sump pump system that was completely outdated.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. 

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.
