The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This home had a crawlspace and a basement. This basement/crawlspace was made of poured concrete walls which were leaking water. This was considered one of our bigger jobs as we installed, Waterguard, CleanSpace, a SuperSump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We also sprayed Anabec cleaner and spray foam insulation to clean the mold and keep the basement insulated. 

We installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system in Xenia, Ohio. The crawl space had some pink fiberglass insulation that had fallen down, and there was no vapor barrier installed. A vapor barrier is important to keep moisture from entering the crawl space. Moisture in a crawl space can cause mold, musty odors, and wood rot.  

This home needed to be waterproofed because the owners were tired of dealing with mold and their storage getting wet. We were able to help by setting up our interior perimeter drainage system with WaterGuard connected to one of our Ultra Sumps. 

This home's front porch was sinking into the soil. The sinking was resulting in gaps between the porch and the home. We aimed to seal the porch back to the home using PolyLevel foam, which is injected under the porch. The foam expands, and raises the porch back to a precise, calculated level. We then seal the reduced gaps using NexusPro sealant, which will not allow water to reach into the cracks.

This homeowner called us because they noticed horizontal cracks in their foundation walls and they noticed that the walls were bowing in more and more over time. They knew they were going to need some reinforcing to protect their home, so they called us. We installed our steel zinc-coated PowerBraces on all the walls that were bowing in. PowerBraces are great because they are designed to not only realign the walls over time, but they also protect floor joists from damage, unlike other steel beams other contractors may install.
