The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This basement in Loveland, OH, leaked almost every time it rained. They had a clogged footer drain, and rather than have someone excavate around their entire foundation to install a new exterior system, (which would likely clog again) they decided to have us install our full interior perimeter solution. This homeowner wanted to move their teenager down into the basement, so they also wanted us to install a new egress window to allow for emergency exits, natural sunlight, and fresh air. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the entire perimeter, our TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace walls everywhere, and of course, a brand new egress window. The result of this project was a happy father and daughter, who get to look forward to working together on building her new room.

The soil underneath this driveway had settled, causing the concrete slabs to sink unevenly. There were lots of cracks and gaps in the driveway, creating tripping hazards and making for annoying commutes. We leveled the slabs by jacking them with our expansive foam called PolyLevel. PolyLevel is stronger, lighter, and less messy than alternative mudjacking methods. We then sealed all the seams with our NexusPro sealant, which is UV resistant and super condensed. The result is a clean, smooth driveway that will now last longer.

In this Maineville home, a noticeable gap had formed between the baseboards and the floor on the first level—an early sign of sagging floor joists in the crawl space below. To correct the issue, we installed SmartJack® support posts, which are designed to lift and stabilize failing floor joists.

The results speak for themselves: the gap is gone, and the floors are level once again. Not only did this fix the cosmetic issue upstairs, but it also restored long-term structural support to the home.

This poured foundation basement in Maineville, OH, was leaking & had bowed in walls. We waterproofed the leaky basement by installing Our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter and connecting them to a sump pump we installed. We then covered the leaky walls with our BrightWall panels which will help channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. Our BrightWall panels also are made of an inorganic material so that they won't grow mold or get damaged from moisture. We then repaired the bowing walls by installing our steel PowerBraces, which are coated in zinc to prevent rusting. They also have a special design that allows them to dissipate the weight of the wall evenly across the floor joists and the concrete floor, preventing damage to either. They can also straighten walls back out in certain situations. The result of the job is a clean, dry, structurally sound basement.

This sunken stoop in Milford, OH, needed to be raised for several reasons. First, the high step posed a potential tripping hazard. Additionally, the uneven stoop and sidewalk created an unsightly appearance. Raising the sidewalk also meant less dirt accumulation, reducing the need for frequent sweeping. Using our PolyLevel foam, we lifted and leveled both the stoop and the connecting sidewalk, then sealed the joints and gaps for a seamless finish.
