The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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.

The left side of this driveway in Tipp City, OH, was starting to sink off into the hillside. As the left side of the driveway continued to sink, the crack splitting the driveway grew larger in depth. We fixed the problem by injecting the left side of the driveway with our PolyLevel foam, which was able to raise the left side, making the driveway even again. We then sealed the crack to keep debris out and for cosmetic purposes. The result was a happy homeowner!

In the "before" photo, you can see how this homeowner in Tipp City, Ohio, had resorted to stacking storage bins and belongings off the ground in a damp, unfinished corner of the basement. Water seepage had made the space unreliable for storage and unusable for anything more.

We solved the issue by installing our WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system, which now captures any incoming water before it can reach the basement floor. We also added a TripleSafe® sump pump, offering triple protection and a battery backup in case of power outages. To brighten the space and protect the walls, we finished it off with CleanSpace® wall panels, which direct wall moisture down into the WaterGuard system while giving the basement a clean, dry look.

Now that this corner is permanently protected from water, the homeowner is finally free to finish the space and build proper shelving — turning what was once just a damp storage area into a usable, functional part of the home.

Our CarbonArmor wall repair system is a very unique solution for foundation walls that have started to show a slight inflection inwards. For this basement in Morrow, OH, we started the installation process by lightly grinding the wall to make for a rough, clean surface for the glue. We then applied a layer of epoxy resin on the wall, which helped us adhere the carbon straps to the wall. We then applied a another layer of epoxy over the straps to ensure the carbon is secure to the wall. Then we secured the tops of the carbon straps to the rim joists with the ArmorLock system. The ArmorLocks are fused to each CarbonArmor strip, and are anchored to a heavy-duty steel bracket that’s lag-screwed to the rim joist. The CarbonArmor system is the perfect minimally invasive, high-strength solution for slightly bowed or cracked walls.

This basement in Morrow, Ohio had a poured foundation with minimal protection against water intrusion—just a basic vapor barrier loosely hanging on the walls. Moisture, poor insulation, and a lack of drainage left the space vulnerable to leaks and musty air.

We transformed this basement into a dry, usable space by installing our Foamax wall paneling insulation, which provides both moisture protection and thermal efficiency. To handle water intrusion at its source, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system and a WaterGuard interior drainage system, ensuring any groundwater is collected and redirected before it ever reaches the living space. To keep humidity in check, we added a powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Now, this basement is clean, dry, warm, and protected—ready to be used year-round without the worry of water or mold.
