The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This crawl space was emitting musty smells up to the first floor of this home. In order to stop the musty smells, we were going to have to do a full encapsulation. We encapsulate our crawl spaces with CleanSpace lining, which goes all over the floors, around the concrete piers, and partly up the walls. We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls which are amazing at retaining heat, helping people save money on energy bills. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to remove up to 100 pints of water out the air in a day. 

This part of the sidewalk leading up to the front porch had sunk a good three to four inches into the ground, which was a growing nuisance for the homeowners. This made things like carrying groceries into the home much more dangerous than before. The slab was also directing rain water down underneath the gap between the sidewalk and the front porch. By raising the sidewalk with our foam jacking services, we were able to eliminate both of the aforementioned problems. The sidewalk also looks a lot better, and is prevented from sinking any time soon.

This sinking front porch slab was raised using the Polylevel injection system.  PolyLeveling requires using a foam that gets injected under the slab.  The foam fills the voids underneath the slab and raises it up to the correct height.

A customer of ours had a huge crack in their basement wall that lead to water seeping into their basement. Our FlexiSpan product is a great solution for this type of problem. Instead of just closing the crack with some type of sealant and expecting it to hold together, (it wont) we use a three part system to make sure water never bursts through any time soon. First a flexible sealant is poured into the crack. Next, a foam strip is placed alongside the crack which helps the water flow into a drainage system, (or a hole dug in the floor). Lastly, another sealant is adhered over the foam strip and a nice finished look is the result. 

This basement had a bowing wall that was shifting horizontally. Horizontally shifting walls are something that needs to be fixed because if ignored, the wall can cave in. In order to fix the problem, we install a PowerBrace as well as BrightWall paneling. The wall is a lot better structurally as well as cosmetically.
