The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This home was leaking water through their carpet and drywall, so they gave us a call to waterproof a certain area in their finished basement. After we ripped the carpet out, tore out the drywall three feet high from the ground, installed our sump pump and drainage system, we then installed our EverLast wall paneling system. This system is great because after we rip your drywall out to install our waterproofing system, we then can replace the drywall with this moisture proof paneling system. This way we don't leave you with a mess and you don't have to worry about the wall getting wet! We think it also looks pretty good!

We installed our regular interior perimeter waterproofing system for this basement. Seen in the after picture is a TripleSafe sump pump equipped with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, fresh concrete poured over WaterGuard drains, and CleanSpace walls. 

In order to keep this crawl space safe from moisture, we placed down our CleanSpace crawl space liner, which will block out moisture from the earth. This liner went on top of our drainage matting, which can not be seen from the picture. The drainage matting helps drain water to the sump and also softens the area. We tape the liner at all seams with waterproof tape, and we button the liner up the walls of the crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which are made of an inorganic material and are unable to grow mold. 

A homeowner in Cincinnati wanted to have their crawl space insulated, and so they called us for help.  The homeowner met with one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that we install a CleanSpace encapsulation system along with drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, rim joist insulation, and an Everlast door to resolve the problems in the crawlspace.   In these photos, you can see the difference the CleanSpace and SilverGlo have made in this crawl space.  The CleanSpace provides as a mold and vapor barrier, while keeping the crawl space clean. The SilverGlo will insulate the crawl space, keeping the floors warm in the winter. The CleanSpace also really brightens up the crawl space, making it much easier for the homeowner to access when needed.

A homeowner in Cincinnati had a few concrete sidewalk slabs that were sinking so they called us and scheduled an appointment with us to find a solution to this problem. We recommended Polylevel injections to raise these slabs. You can really see just how high we were able to raise this slab if you look at the horizontal line near the brown smoke chamber the bottom of the chimney in the before picture. That's precisely where we were asked to raise the slab back to.
