The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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 homeowner in Leesburg, Ohio needed an upgrade for their old, unreliable sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rains. The existing system had only one pump, so if it failed or lost power, water could easily back up into the basement. We replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three layers of protection for total peace of mind. The primary pump handles everyday drainage, a secondary pump automatically activates if the first one can’t keep up, and a third, battery-powered pump provides backup protection during power outages. With this system in place, the homeowner now has a fully reliable waterproofing solution that keeps their basement dry no matter the weather.

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. 

We waterproofed this storm-cellar basement in Greenfield, OH, to make for a comfier living situation for the homeowner. The only way to access this basement was through the stairwell, which often flooded. The walls and coves also leaked frequently, so the homeowner could tell by the smell in their bedroom if it was raining outside, (not good). We waterproofed the basement by installing 48 linear feet of our WaterGuard subfloor drains, wrapping the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and fitting a new SmartSump sump pump. The homeowner noticed a difference in the smell of their home from their bedroom right away after we completed the job. 

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.
