The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Cincinnati, OH, was wet, saggy, and musty. We started the repair by installing two of our steel SmartJack posts to help provide some much needed support to the sagging floor joists above. Next, we sealed the space with our drainage matting floors, our SilverGlo insulation wall panels, and our white CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a dehumidification system to keep the air in the space conditioned and dry. The homeowner was very pleased with the outcome, and they immediately started moving storage boxes into the newly converted space beneath the home.

External forces like hydrostatic pressure can cause your foundation walls to cave in. No worries though, we have the solution. Our steel I-beams called PowerBraces are not your ordinary I-beams. They are coated in zinc to prevent rusting, and they can handle very strong loads. Also, they were designed to prevent damage to your floor joists, as their special brackets can be tightened to straighten the wall back out.

This basement was falling apart before we stepped in. Persistent leaks left behind stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure pushed against the foundation, causing the walls to bow and crack. Moisture crept into the wooden floor joists, leading to damage and musty odors. Now, this basement is dry, stable, and built to last thanks to:

• PowerBrace wall repair system
• TripleSafe sump pump
• BriteWall wall paneling system
• WaterGuard subfloor drains
• Our dedicated crew

A complete transformation from top to bottom.

This basement was in rough shape before we got to work. Constant leaks left stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure caused the foundation walls to bow and crack. Moisture weakened the wooden floor joists and created musty odors throughout the space. We firsts waterproofed the foundation with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. We then contained moisture by installing our BriteWall panels, which will channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. We finished the job by installing our steel PowerBraces to keep the walls stabilized. Now, it's dry, secure, and built to last!

This homeowner was concerned with their existing vapor barrier system, and they wanted us to install our patented CleanSpace product to replace it. Unlike the existing vapor barrier, our CleanSpace is sealed everywhere, and is stronger and cleaner. The homeowner noticed an immediate difference in their home after our CleanSpace was installed.
