The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

It may be hard to tell from the photo, but the carpet in this basement in Florence, KY, was absolutely soaked. We waterproofed this basement to make sure any new carpet that gets replaced stays as dry as a bone. Seen in the after picture is our TripleSafe sump pump connected to our subfloor WaterGuard drains. When we cut the drywall out, we made sure to do so carefully so the homeowner has an easy time replacing it. Our TripleSafe sump pump hosts a battery backup system to make sure this finished basement stays dry, even in the event of a power outage. The TripleSafe has an air-tight lid that is flush with the floor, so it doesn't take up much space and won't leak moisture into the basement.

To repair this crawl space in Walton, KY, we waterproofed it, encapsulated it, lifted it, insulated it, and dehumidified it. The waterproofing, encapsulating, and dehumidifying processes in the crawl space will make sure it stays bone dry year round. The SmartJacks we installed to lift the crawl space will help keep the floors above even and strong. The SilverGlo insulation paneling we installed will help save the homeowners money on energy. In just one day, we were able to give this crawl space all that it needed to live a long life, help conserve energy, support the floors above, and give the homeowners healthy air to breathe.

This homeowner in Walton, KY, was having trouble with their current waterproofing system. When replacing their system, we made sure to give their sump pump an upgrade as well. Seen in the after picture is our TripleSafe sump pump, our most secure system. It comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one that will provide power to the system in case of power failure. The air-tight lid comes with a nifty alarm system and an airtight floor drain.

We used our expansive foam called PolyLevel to raise some concrete slabs in Greenville, Ohio. The old slabs would often collect mulch and soil, making it a hassle for the homeowner. We raised it to be an inch or two higher than the grade of the mulch. 

This crawl space was emitting musty smells up to the first floor of this home. In order to stop the musty smells, we were going to have to do a full encapsulation. We encapsulate our crawl spaces with CleanSpace lining, which goes all over the floors, around the concrete piers, and partly up the walls. We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls which are amazing at retaining heat, helping people save money on energy bills. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to remove up to 100 pints of water out the air in a day.
