This basement in Blanchester, OH was leaking heavily and had large cracks forming in the corners — a common issue with poured concrete foundations. When these walls are pushed by external pressure (like water-saturated soil or frost), the corners often crack first because they’re the most rigid and least able to flex.
To fix the problem, we started by installing a full interior waterproofing system: WaterGuard subfloor drains along the perimeter, and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep water out for good. To address the structural issues, we stabilized the bowed walls using our steel PowerBrace system, locking them into place with long-term support. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall panels — not just for a cleaner look, but to help channel any future wall moisture directly into the drainage system.
What you're looking at, folks, is a basement relieved of serious pressure.

Blanchester, OH is home to hot and humid summers, significant rainfall every month, and cold, snowy winters. On top of the area's normal amount of precipitation, which is substantial, severe thunderstorms are not uncommon in the warmer months and flash floods are known to cause significant damage to buildings and streets. For homeowners, this means that basement flooding and crawl space water damage are serious concerns. That's why we take our work so seriously at The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati. As a professional, experienced basement waterproofing company in business since 1987, we have seen the worst that Blanchester weather has to bring and we know the best wet basement solutions. We use industry-leading basement waterproofing products, and our dedication to customer service has made us a Better Business Bureau and Angie's List accredited home improvement contractor.
This homeowner in Blanchester, Ohio, had a crawl space that was damp, poorly insulated, and affecting the comfort of the home above. They reached out to us to find a permanent solution that would protect their home from moisture and improve energy efficiency.
We installed 1,170 square feet of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, paired with 1,170 square feet of drainage matting underneath to help manage ground moisture. To insulate the walls, we installed 600 linear feet of SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation, providing a radiant barrier and an added layer of thermal protection. We also applied 270 linear feet of spray foam in the rim joists, which are a common source of air leaks and energy loss.
To control humidity and prevent mold, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier—one of the most powerful, energy-efficient crawl space dehumidifiers on the market.
Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and sealed—offering long-term protection for the home and better air quality throughout the house.
