The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

A 100-year-old home was having issues with water seeping into the basement.  After meeting with us, the homeowner decided to have a BrightWall paneling system, a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system, and a SuperSump premier sump pump system equipped with an UltraSump battery back-up pump installed to resolve the problems in the basement. 

BrightWall panels are used to cover the walls and will also help drain any wall leaks into the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system.  The WaterGuard intercepts the water that seeps into the basement and drains it into the sump pump system.  The SuperSump premier sump pump will remove the water from the basement at an elite rate.  The UltraSump is the battery back-up pump system and will turn on if there is ever a pump or power failure.

These systems working together will create a dry, comfortable basement that can be used without worries of water intrusion.  The bright white color really brightens up the basement.  Look at the difference this has made in this basement. 

This large basement was having some issues with the snowy weather. The walls were also leaking a lot of cold air into the home. We installed our waterproofing system along with our Basement to Beautiful panels to fix both issues. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels cannot grow mold or hold moisture due to their inorganic materials, which makes them the perfect basement paneling option. These panels are our best option for insulating your basement. Their graphite infused material reflects heat back into the basement, and they have a 24% greater insulation value than other standard foam options.   These innovative panels allow your contractor to frame the wall and insulate at the same time, and are equipped with steel studs and built-in wiring channels.

The owner of this home had been living there five years when they gave us a call. They were concerned about humidity issues, as well as having to replace their furnace filter every year. You see, this dirt floor in the basement was throwing dirt and dust around everywhere, and then the furnace would throw the dirt all around the upper levels of the home. The high humidity levels were also making the furnace work twice as hard, as it's way more difficult to heat and cool humid air versus dry air. We got the job done by waterproofing the whole basement with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a SuperSump sump pump. 

This basement was leaking water and was causing a moldy smell to leak above to the inhabitants of the home. We installed WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, a Sedona Sani Dry Dehumidifier, and trench drains to stop the basement from leaking. We also installed CleanSpace walls to help cosmetically, as well as help drain water from the walls to the system. 

Filling in wall cracks with a sealant may fix the short term problems, but the long term probably will still exist. Bowing walls can lead to some serious problems if not addressed, so give us a call for a free estimate!
