The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This basement had major hydrostatic pressure pressing on their floor and walls. Unfortunately, this house was at the bottom of a hill, allowing a path for rain water to lead to. They tried to remedy the pressure themselves by sealing the cracks with some type of sealant. This did not work as the pressure still bursted through their sealants. We told them about how our system actually relieves the pressure by inviting water to our WaterGuard drains we install under the floor of the perimeter of the basement. They were convinced and had us complete the job. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump which contains a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a third battery backed UltraSump. Even though this basement had tons of water built up, the TripleSafe easily discharges the water far away from the home. 

With this driveway being on a troubling hillside, it was no surprise to see that it had started to crack. You see, when a driveway is on a hilly surface, it is more likely for the soil underneath the concrete to experience washing, where water forcibly moves the dirt down the hill. We were able to level out the driveway with our foam jacking services, which will also help prevent soil washout from happening in the future. We topped the project off by sealing all the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. The homeowners were happy that their beautiful concrete driveway was saved. 

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. 

This homeowner wanted an egress window installed because they were planning on building a bedroom in their basement for their kid to live in. You can see just how big the window is thanks to our team member standing in the well, making final adjustments. 

It was important we kept this room in this basement water free for this homeowner because they had a lot of valuable work equipment down there that would be completely ruined with just a drop of water. For this, we suggested a SuperSump Plus with an UltraSump 4 battery back up attachment. This way, even if the power goes out, their equipment will still be safe from water.
