The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

We installed slab piers for this home in Winchester, Ohio, in order to level out the sunken flooring. You can note the gap between the floor and the baseboard in the before picture, and how the gap closed in the after picture. We use slab piers in order to permanently stabilize the slab by connecting the slab to load bearing-soil found deep below the house. We can then raise the piers in order to raise the slab back to where it was when it was originally poured. We then fill the voids left from raising the slab with our expansive PolyLevel foam. The result is a floor that won't ever settle again for this slab foundation home.

Many homes in the Hillsboro area are experiencing a certified draught, which is causing settlement issues for many homes. For this home, their back porch was sinking because of dried up soil, and so we installed piers to stabilize it. If you are experiencing a sinking foundation in the Hillsboro area, be sure to give us a call for a free inspection. 

This homeowner in Leesburg, Ohio needed an upgrade for their old, unreliable sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rains. The existing system had only one pump, so if it failed or lost power, water could easily back up into the basement. We replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three layers of protection for total peace of mind. The primary pump handles everyday drainage, a secondary pump automatically activates if the first one can’t keep up, and a third, battery-powered pump provides backup protection during power outages. With this system in place, the homeowner now has a fully reliable waterproofing solution that keeps their basement dry no matter the weather.

This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier, combined with a new waterproofing system. We installed CleanSpace matting and drainage, as well as a Ultra Sump 4. SilverGlo insulation was installed as well, which well help this customer save money on energy bills. 

We waterproofed this storm-cellar basement in Greenfield, OH, to make for a comfier living situation for the homeowner. The only way to access this basement was through the stairwell, which often flooded. The walls and coves also leaked frequently, so the homeowner could tell by the smell in their bedroom if it was raining outside, (not good). We waterproofed the basement by installing 48 linear feet of our WaterGuard subfloor drains, wrapping the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and fitting a new SmartSump sump pump. The homeowner noticed a difference in the smell of their home from their bedroom right away after we completed the job.
