The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Franklin, OH, had succumbed to prolonged moisture exposure. This had caused the fiberglass to become moldy and heavy, must smells to persist throughout the rest of the home, and rust to appear on parts of their plumbing and ducts. We encapsulated this crawl space with our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture and outside air for good. This 20 mil thick vapor barrier is composed of antimicrobial material, and it is super durable and elastic. Now that the crawl space is clean and safe, the homeowners are free to store items down there as an added bonus!

The floor joists in the ceiling of this crawl space were sagging due to moisture damage and insufficient lally column support. This was causing the floors above the crawl space to sag in certain spots. We installed a couple rows of our SmartJack posts to straighten out and support the floors above. We then encapsulated the crawl space with our white antimicrobial vapor barrier, our graphite insulation panels (along the walls), and our automated dehumidifier (not pictured). This encapsulation system will protect the wood from further moisture damage, keeping the framing as healthy as possible. Our SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel, so they won't rust like the existing lally columns were. They are also way stronger than the lally columns, and won't sink into the floor, thanks to their engineered "light bulb of influence" design. This customer was stoked that they could now walk on the first floor of their home without feeling like the floors could cave in at any moment. 

The driveway for this home was sinking into the ground and was causing problems for the owner whenever they pulled in and out of their garage. We were able to lift it with Polylevel and make the driveway a lot more smooth. 

In Miamisburg, OH, we lifted and leveled a front porch that had settled over time. Using our helical pier system, we were able to close the gap between the porch and the house and bring the slab back to level, restoring both safety and a smooth, stable surface for the homeowners.

In Kings Mills, Ohio, this homeowner’s driveway had uneven slabs where four sections met. The top right slab sat higher than the others, and the control joints had broken apart, allowing water to seep underneath. Over time, freeze-thaw cycles caused the slabs to separate even more, and a small crack had formed in the upper left section. We repaired the driveway by injecting PolyLevel to lift and level the slabs, then sealed the joints and crack with NexusPro to prevent future water intrusion and protect the concrete from further damage.
