The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This basement with a poured foundation in Blanchester, OH, was leaking like crazy and had large cracks in the corner. We waterproofed the entire basement with a full interior perimeter system with our WaterGuard subfloor drains, and our TripleSafe sump pump. We stabilized the bowed in walls with our steel PowerBrace system. Lastly, we added BriteWall wall panels to give the basement a finished look and to help channel leaks from the cracks down into the subfloor drainage system. What you're looking at folks, is a basement relieved of massive amounts of pressure. 

Concrete surrounding a pool is often susceptible to cracking for many reasons. For one, the soil under the concrete can go through exaggerated changes in moisture content due to the proximity to a large body of water. Also, the weight of the water in the pool can be quick to expose faulty engineering and installation from the team who installed the concrete slabs. Either way, we can fix your concrete relatively easily through a process called slab jacking. Similar to mud jacking, where mud is injected into the slabs in order to get them stable and level, we instead use a foam polyurethane mix. This mix is lighter, cleaner, and less invasive than the mud mix. In one day, we were able to lift, level, stabilize, and seal this concrete, which will help extend this concretes lifetime exponentially. 

We used our Polylevel injections to raise concrete slabs that had settled over time. The foam was injected under the concrete slabs, which filled the voids under the slabs and lifted them to a proper grade above the surrounding soil. We also sealed the gaps between the slabs after everything was leveled.

This driveway was shifting and causing the concrete slabs to crack and separate from one another. After we used PolyLevel foam and sealant to reconnect them, the driveway was back to looking good.
