The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Dayton, OH had a back porch that was sinking away from the rest of the home, causing gaps between the brick wall and porch floor. We raised the porch to close these gaps by using our foam jacking method. This foam jacking process, is quicker, cleaner, and more effective than mud jacking. We first drill pea-sized holes in the slabs in order to create an entryway for our foam gun. We then inject our PolyLevel foam under the slabs in order to raise it. We then close and seal all the gaps, then we leave. This homeowner was very impressed with the efficiency of our foam jacking methods, and doesn't have to worry any longer about their back porch sinking.

This home had an old sump pump that needed replacing. We replaced it with a SuperSump Plus sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup. 

After encapsulating and insulating this crawl space, we installed the cherry on top, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier was invented by our Basement Systems team and is an exclusive product to our network, meaning you can only get this through us in our service area. Since being invented, it has been tested and tweaked over many years to have some of the best specs for a dehumidifier that does not have a clunky heat exchange core. 

Qualities and specs for this patented dehumidifier:

• Removes up to 4.17 pints of water from the air in an hour. That equals 100 pints a day!
• Automatic sensors to reduce energy use.
• Automatically discharges water.
• Special filters can remove mold spores, dust mites, and other particulates.
• Quiet noise level.

This home had a basement that was dirty and wet. We fixed it up to be clean and dry by installing CleanSpace walls, WaterGuard, a french drain, and a TripleSafe water pump. 

The concrete pad just outside of this garage had sunken into the dirt. This had become annoying for the homeowner because every time they pulled their lawn mower out, it would not be a smooth process. It was also a pretty dangerous tripping hazard, as the garage was a place where they moved heavy items in and out of. We fixed the gap by injecting our PolyLevel foam underneath the concrete pad in little pea-sized holes. Afterwards, the concrete pad was flush with the garage floor, making life a whole lot easier for this homeowner.
