The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This part of the basement seen in the attached photos was wet and leaky before we cleaned it up. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system in this area in order to channel water to the SuperSump sump pump, as seen in the after photo. We also wrapped this entire basement with our CleanSpace vapor barrier in order to brighten the area and keep it smelling fresh. 

This home in Wyoming, Ohio was experiencing some issues with settling. The customer specifically noted their floors were sloping throughout the house, and they had a crawl space that was 2 feet high. We were able to stabilize this sinking foundation by installing a system of helical piers along the side of the home that was sinking. As you can see, the footing on this home was probably not deep enough to prevent settling. Either way, we were able to combat this problem by ensuring our piers were attached correctly to the foundation, driven into load-bearing strata, and we even lifted the home a little bit with our hydraulic system. You can see the hydraulic system in the before picture by looking at the attached red and blue hoses. We were able to straighten out the floors in the home and were able to ensure the home won't settle any more. 

We installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. WaterGuard drains, a TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and some crack cover walls will keep this basement dry.

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 pool area was deteriorating due to several factors. The concrete was poured thinner than ideal, and shifting soil beneath it caused instability. Additionally, the weight of the pool added stress, making cracks a common issue for all poolsides. To restore the area, we injected PolyLevel foam beneath the concrete to stabilize and prevent further damage. Then, we sealed the cracks with a color-matched material, leaving the space looking clean and refreshed.
