The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This sunroom had settled away from the rest of the home causing gaps, cracks, and other problems for the room. We stabilized this room by installing nine push piers around the perimeter of it. The push piers will ensure that this room stops settling. We installed three of the push piers on the left side of the room through the concrete patio. We then covered the patio with concrete, concealing the piers completely.

The basement in this home in Fort Mitchell, KY was moldy, wet, and dusty. We offered to install our waterproofing system for the homeowner, and they agreed. Our system included our WaterGuard subfloor drains, our SuperSump sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier walls. We love when our customers opt in for the white CleanSpace walls because not only do they look great for photos, they also provide support to the drainage system. The vapor barrier allows water to flow down from the walls into the drains beneath the floor, keeping musty water smells out from your living area. The vapor barrier also makes for a great pre basement finishing product as it can protect drywall and other types of walls from water damage. Even if you don't plan on finishing your basement, the vapor barrier can stand alone as a beautiful, clean, reflective wall, covering all the cracks, stains, and dirt.  

This chimney was starting to tilt away from the home, leaving the sealant between the chimney and the home compromised. If left unattended, the chimney could become damaged beyond repair. Luckily, the homeowner gave us a call so we could fix it with our peer underpinning system right away. Now, the chimney is stabilized and lifted back to where it was originally built. The homeowner can now seal the chimney for good. 

We underpinned the corner of this Covington, KY, home with our helical piers in order to stop the foundation from settling. In order to underpin the corner, we first had to expose the footer by excavating around the corner. We then drilled our screw shaped piers into load-bearing soil found deep in the earth. We then attached the ends of the piers to the footer by using our "L" shaped brackets. We then attempted to lift the foundation with our hydraulic system. We finished the job by backfilling the trench with the dug up soil. 

We raised these concrete slab using the Polylevel injection system, and we sealed the joints with NexusPro joint sealant.
