The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This dark and damp crawl space in Augusta, KY, was 8 feet tall and had a dirt floor. It was prone to flooding, which would leave the homeowners with unpleasant smells during the rainy seasons. We waterproofed and encapsulated this space for the homeowners so that they can receive multiple different benefits like: healthier air, added storage space, savings on energy costs, savings on framing repairs, and an immediate boost in home value. Seen in the "after photo" are all the main components like our SmartSump system, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The homeowner was very impressed with the craftsmanship of the crew, who made sure everything was sealed moisture tight. 

This basement in Blanchester, OH was leaking heavily and had large cracks forming in the corners — a common issue with poured concrete foundations. When these walls are pushed by external pressure (like water-saturated soil or frost), the corners often crack first because they’re the most rigid and least able to flex.

To fix the problem, we started by installing a full interior waterproofing system: WaterGuard subfloor drains along the perimeter, and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep water out for good. To address the structural issues, we stabilized the bowed walls using our steel PowerBrace system, locking them into place with long-term support. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall panels — not just for a cleaner look, but to help channel any future wall moisture directly into the drainage system.

What you're looking at, folks, is a basement relieved of serious pressure.

This home had a walkway that was sinking into the ground. We pumped under the concrete with PolyLevel foam in order to raise the concrete back to health. You can notice how the concrete lifted about 3-4 inches. 

A lot of people aren't aware of just how magical our PolyLevel concrete repair process can be. For this garage slab in Fayetteville, OH, that had some extreme cracks, we were able to level it all out. This job saved the homeowners from a painful & costly replacement job.

What started as a dark, damp crawl space in Mount Orab, OH was creating problems no homeowner wants—musty smells, cold floors, and the potential for mold. The space was unsealed and exposed to the elements, making it an ideal environment for moisture and pests.

That’s where we came in. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, completely sealing off the crawl space from the earth. This durable liner not only locks out moisture but also brightens the space, giving it a cleaner, more finished look.

Now, instead of a damp, forgotten area beneath the home, the crawl space is dry, protected, and contributing to better air quality and energy efficiency throughout the house. The transformation is dramatic—and the peace of mind is priceless.
