The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us because noticed musty odors in their basement shortly after purchasing their home. They suspected that they were going to need a new waterproofing system since they wanted to finish their basement as well. We told them that it would be wise to install a waterproofing system, and that we could finish their basement for them with all of our moisture resistant products if they wanted us to. They really liked how all of our products worked together, so they decided they wanted us to finish it for them after waterproofing their basement. After waterproofing with our interior perimeter subfloor drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump system, we then began on finishing. We started by removing all the furring strips, and then installing our Basement to Beautiful insulation panels. These insulation panels are waterproof and will help drain water to the subfloor drains as well. These panels will also help the homeowners save lots of money on energy bills. We then installed our Everlast wall panels over the insulation panels to give the walls a finished look. Everlast walls are waterproof as well, and are easily washable. We then installed the new floors with our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring system. These planks look like well refined wood, but are made of inorganic material instead making them waterproof. They also have pegs that raise them off the concrete floor, providing better insulation and a path for water to drain through. We finally added some trim, did some electrical work, and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to top it all off. 

There was a lot of work completed in this basement, but what a difference it has made!  In order to stop this wall from leaking, bowing in, and to cover the wall we installed our vapor barrier, our waterproofing system, and our steel I-beams. This basement now looks cleaner, smells cleaner, and is dry as can be! Now if the homeowner wishes, they can turn their basement into whatever type of space they want without the worry of damage!

This high traffic sidewalk needed some repairing so the children attending this school would be safe from tripping. On top of fixing the concrete outside of the main entrance for the school, we also repaired this sidewalk. Sidewalks adjacent to a large street can be susceptible to a phenomena called street creep. As the adjacent road goes through cycles of contraction and expansion throughout the year, it can affect nearby concrete structures. It also didn't help that this sidewalk was right next to some trees, where roots can accelerate the aging of the sidewalk. Roots are not only strong, they can also suck the moisture out of the dirt underneath the sidewalk, which can make the sidewalk sink. Either way, we fixed the problem by injecting the slabs with our PolyLevel foam. This polyurethane foam is extremely lightweight and strong, and helped raise the slabs back into place. After everything was leveled out, we then sealed the injection holes and the gaps between the slabs. The result is a sidewalk that is safe for all the kids to walk across. 

The Turtl is designed to give the homeowner easy access into the crawl space while also being able to seal air out of the crawl space.  The Turtl is made of an inorganic material that will never rot or need to be painted.
