The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

We installed slab piers for this home in Winchester, Ohio, in order to level out the sunken flooring. You can note the gap between the floor and the baseboard in the before picture, and how the gap closed in the after picture. We use slab piers in order to permanently stabilize the slab by connecting the slab to load bearing-soil found deep below the house. We can then raise the piers in order to raise the slab back to where it was when it was originally poured. We then fill the voids left from raising the slab with our expansive PolyLevel foam. The result is a floor that won't ever settle again for this slab foundation home.

Many homes in the Hillsboro area are experiencing a certified draught, which is causing settlement issues for many homes. For this home, their back porch was sinking because of dried up soil, and so we installed piers to stabilize it. If you are experiencing a sinking foundation in the Hillsboro area, be sure to give us a call for a free inspection. 

This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier, combined with a new waterproofing system. We installed CleanSpace matting and drainage, as well as a Ultra Sump 4. SilverGlo insulation was installed as well, which well help this customer save money on energy bills. 

This crawl space had gravel all along the floor, which is better than dirt, but still not good enough to skip a moisture barrier. We installed CleanSpace liner across the whole crawl space to keep moisture out, saving the wooden beams from rot. The liner also keeps moldy air out and helps insulate a bit. 

This homeowner called us because the last contractor they hired did not do a good enough job to properly protect their basement from water. They claimed, "There is only one small sump pump and they should have put a larger one in or at least another one." They called us this time because they knew we would do it right because they heard about us from a friend. We added our WaterGuard drains under the floor of the basement, all around the perimeter. We then hooked them up to our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is strong enough to handle extreme amounts of water because it has a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery backed up sump. Safe to say these homeowners are done looking for a waterproofing contractor to get it right.
