The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

Our CarbonArmor wall repair system is a very unique solution for foundation walls that have started to show a slight inflection inwards. For this basement in Morrow, OH, we started the installation process by lightly grinding the wall to make for a rough, clean surface for the glue. We then applied a layer of epoxy resin on the wall, which helped us adhere the carbon straps to the wall. We then applied a another layer of epoxy over the straps to ensure the carbon is secure to the wall. Then we secured the tops of the carbon straps to the rim joists with the ArmorLock system. The ArmorLocks are fused to each CarbonArmor strip, and are anchored to a heavy-duty steel bracket that’s lag-screwed to the rim joist. The CarbonArmor system is the perfect minimally invasive, high-strength solution for slightly bowed or cracked walls.

This home owner liked our concrete crack repair so much in February 2023 that they wanted more of the same work done in late December, 2023. We used polylevel foam to raise certain parts of the stairs and sidewalk, bringing the concrete back to a level surface. 

This crawl space renovation project in Lebanon, OH we completed in December of 2024 displays just how dramatic of a change a proper crawl space encapsulation job can be. The existing crawl space had a thin layer of plastic on the floor of the crawl space, and as we all know, it did not do good enough of a job to keep moisture out. We started this project by installing a waterproofing system powered by underground perforated pipes, our SmartSump sump pump, and a battery backup system. We then separated the crawl space away from the earth by installing our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier all across the floor and up the walls of the crawl space. Next, we installed our dehumidification system, which is completely automatic and energy efficient. We finished the project by replacing their existing access door with our Turtl door, which is air-tight. The result is a completely dry crawl space and a couple of happy homeowners. 

We waterproofed this Lebanon, Ohio basement with a reliable perimeter drainage system that collects water and channels it to a high-performance sump pump. The pump system includes battery backup protection to keep the basement dry even during power outages. To improve air quality and prevent musty odors, we installed an energy-efficient dehumidifier designed for large spaces. Foamax wall panels were added to help insulate the basement, reduce energy costs, and manage moisture year-round. Now, the space is dry, protected, and more comfortable for the homeowners.

This home had a walkway that was sinking into the ground. We pumped under the concrete with PolyLevel foam in order to raise the concrete back to health. You can notice how the concrete lifted about 3-4 inches.
