Basement Crack Repair & Waterproofing in Preble County, OH

Joanne E. was having problems with water seeping in through the floors and at the cove in her partially finished basement.  She contacted The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.

Our inspector, Chris, went to inspect the basement and discovered there was no sump pump installed. He recommended a SuperSump system with cast iron pump, liner, airtight lid with airtight floor drain.  A CleanPump stand, which raises the sump from the bottom of the liner to keep andy sediment away from the pump.  A WaterWatch alarm system, which will sound if the water has risen to a point where the sump should have turned on and an UltraSump battery back up system, which would turn on in times of power outages or a sump pump failure. 

A WaterGuard Sub-floor drainage system along with a WaterGuard Port for access to the system, IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines and a LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line.  He also recommended CleanSpace drainage matting under CleanSpace liner for the crawlspace area.

Customers were thrilled with the outstanding work performed in a timely manner, and extremely impressed that the clean up crew left nothing for the customers to do.  

A homeowner in Camden had a house that was at least a hundred years old that had a bowing wall in the basement.  The foundation was made of stone and block walls.  He called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution to this problem.  He met with our Certified Inspector, Chris, who recommended that the Patented PowerBrace System be installed to stabilize the wall.

The PowerBrace System is used to immediately stabilize foundation walls and over time have the potential to straighten the wall.  The PowerBrace System's zinc-plated steel beams are installed tightly against the basement wall with brackets that are secured to the basement floor and floor joists.  With these installed, the homeowner will not have to worry about further movement of the wall. 

When the owners of a home in Camden, Ohio noticed patches of water on their basement floor, they were unsure of where it was coming from. Every month it seemed to get worse and worse until finally, they knew it was time to get professionals involved. They called us to come to examine the issue after heavy rain left some of their basement fixtures damaged. 

When our inspector arrived, he determined that the issue was being caused by leaking basement wall cracks. These cracks had previously been filled with epoxy injections, but over time these had worn down and become dislocated. We sealed these cracks with FlexiSpan - a revolutionary solution to wall cracks that is clean, permanent, and effective. 

The owner of a historic home in Eaton, Ohio was noticing that their basement waterproofing system was not holding up when the snow began to melt in March. Even though the basement had a sump pump and drainage system, water was pooling in patches on the floor and getting worse over time. The homeowner estimated that the system had been installed 7 years before they had bought the home, and was no longer under warranty. They decided to call us to see what we could do to resolve their issues. 

Our team advised the homeowner to have a new drainage system, sump pump, discharge line, and IceGuard installed. They agreed and decided that the SuperSump was the best choice for their home. The SuperSump is a highly reliable sump pump system and comes complete with a WaterWatch Alarm, airtight lid, and powerful internal pump. This sump pump is capable of pumping thousands of gallons of water outside every hour. When paired with the IceGuard, added reliability is added for the event that the discharge line was to clog or freeze. This basement waterproofing system is highly effective and was able to resolve the water issues for the homeowner. 

We completed a concrete repair project at a lakehouse on Lakengren Lake in Eaton, Ohio, where the poolside area had started to show cracks and uneven slabs. The sinking concrete was taking away from the home’s beautiful lakefront setting, so the homeowners reached out to have it restored. Our team carefully lifted and leveled the sunken slabs, then sealed the cracks with a color-matched sealant to blend seamlessly with the surrounding surface. By the time we finished, the pool area looked smooth, safe, and refreshed—perfectly complementing their scenic Lakengren Lake property.

One day, this homeowner finally got tired of waking up to a musty smell because it rained overnight. They didn't know who to call, so they Googled, "waterproofing services near me" and The Basement Doctor popped up. After researching, they figured out we do free quotes to all, so they figured why not. After we inspected their block wall foundation and found out where the water was intruding from, we proposed a solution. The homeowner was thrilled with our products and reviews on the internet, so they agreed on a waterproofing system fit for their home. We installed our TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard under the floor drains. No longer will they have to wake up to musty smells.
