The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

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.

Seen in the before picture is the side of the brick house that was sinking into unstable soil. This was causing stair-step cracking in the bricks and sticky windows. If left untreated, the bricks on the side of the house could eventually fall off completely, as we have seen before. It's important to catch this problem early on, that way we can actually raise the foundation back without hurting the siding of your house. When we attach the piers, we have a handheld hydraulic device that can raise the foundation back slowly. We were able to close the cracks and fix the sticky windows. This beautiful brick house won't have to worry about settlement anymore. 

The most common problem with a sunken driveway is a gap created between the garage floor and the concrete driveway. It may be hard to tell, but in the before picture seen here, there was about a 2-3 inch gap between the top of the driveway and the garage floor. This gap was considered a tripping hazard and a nuisance for the homeowners to pull their car out of. We raised the driveway a couple inches by lifting the slabs with our PolyLevel foam injections. PolyLevel foam is a lighter, cleaner, more effective alternative than mudjacking. If you need your driveway looked at for leveling, be sure to give us a call for a free inspection!

Stacy owned a home in Bellevue, Kentucky, that was built in 1906. The old home had a stone foundation that leaked. Having used The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati previously, she called us and scheduled an estimate. Other companies say that stone foundations can't be waterproofed. Our foreman David however, was able to waterproof this 120-year old basement with no problems! 

Need someone you can trust to repair your foundation? You can trust us! This basement had some bowing walls that were shearing and stair-step cracking. We repaired the walls by installing PowerBraces. PowerBraces are steel beams that are patented for their design, because they prevent damage to floor joists. We are the sole providers of PowerBraces throughout Northern Kentucky. NoteL
