The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This stoop had settled about nine inches into the ground at its lowest part. We raised and leveled the stoop and connecting sidewalk to make for a seamless stroll. You can see how far we raised the stoop by looking at the highlighted area in the before picture, and comparing that gap to the same area in the after photo. Thanks to our quick curing PolyLevel foam, the homeowners were able to use their sidewalk again almost immediately after we left. Not too shabby for a job completed in less than an hour or two. 

This house that we set out to waterproof was built in 1937 and had a block wall foundation. The relatively new owners of the home loved everything about the house, except for the fact that it leaked water every time it rained. In the before picture, you can actually see the damp spot on the floor closest to the wall. To waterproof it, we installed WaterGuard drains all around the interior perimeter of the basement, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and BrightWall paneling to give the walls a nice clean look. The homeowners won't have to worry about musty smells everytime it rains anymore. 

This crawl space renovation project in Lebanon, OH we completed in December of 2024 displays just how dramatic of a change a proper crawl space encapsulation job can be. The existing crawl space had a thin layer of plastic on the floor of the crawl space, and as we all know, it did not do good enough of a job to keep moisture out. We started this project by installing a waterproofing system powered by underground perforated pipes, our SmartSump sump pump, and a battery backup system. We then separated the crawl space away from the earth by installing our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier all across the floor and up the walls of the crawl space. Next, we installed our dehumidification system, which is completely automatic and energy efficient. We finished the project by replacing their existing access door with our Turtl door, which is air-tight. The result is a completely dry crawl space and a couple of happy homeowners. 

We waterproofed this Lebanon, Ohio basement with a reliable perimeter drainage system that collects water and channels it to a high-performance sump pump. The pump system includes battery backup protection to keep the basement dry even during power outages. To improve air quality and prevent musty odors, we installed an energy-efficient dehumidifier designed for large spaces. Foamax wall panels were added to help insulate the basement, reduce energy costs, and manage moisture year-round. Now, the space is dry, protected, and more comfortable for the homeowners.

We used our helical pier system to push this chimney back up against the home. Our piers are driven deep into load-bearing depths, allowing us to guarantee the structure will be stabilized. The result of this project was a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry any longer.
