The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

Our technicians raised and stabilized the concrete around this Kentucky pool and sealed the cracks with NexusPro sealant. 

This homeowner was had water seeping into the basement through some cracks in a poured foundation wall.  The homeowner called us and met with our Certified Inspector who recommended the FlexiSpan crack repair system to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The FlexiSpan Crack Repair System is used to seal a crack in a poured foundation wall in the basement.  The FlexiSpan crack repair begins with a bead of sealant placed over the crack to seal it.  This is a typical method of repairing a foundation wall crack that is leaking water into the basement.  The problem with only using a sealant is that as the ground freezes and thaws, and the house continues to settle, the crack could reopen a bit, allowing water to flow into the basement again.  Here is where the FlexiSpan is different.  After sealing the crack with the sealant, a FlexiSpan foam drain strip is also placed over the bead of sealant.  The FlexiSpan foam drain strip will drain any water that leaks through the bead of sealant, and will direct the water down into the drainage well that will be installed at the bottom of the repair.  The FlexiSpan crack repair system can also be tucked into the WaterGuard, our patented waterproofing drainage system.  The next layer is a sealant overlay, which is placed over the FlexiSpan foam strip to completely seal the repair.  The Sealant Overlay can flex up to 3/4's an inch, providing a long lasting solution. Lastly, we place a BrightWall panel over the crack to make the basement wall look cleaner. 

There was a patio sinking for one of our customers, and this was lead to the patio to flood when it would rain. Luckily our PolyLevel system is able to fix issues like this quickly and easily. By drilling tiny holes in the patio slab and filling the holes with the exact amount of poly foam, the slab was able to rise a few inches! Now the patio looks good and does not drag in water!

One of our customers in Okeana, Ohio was having trouble keeping their well kept basement from flooding. It didn't take one of our certified inspectors to realize the water was seeping into the basement walls from the crack between the garage and the driveway. Luckily for the customer, we had the perfect solution. By using a trench drain in-between the garage, the home was able to deflect most of the water using one of our sump pumps. For extra caution, we also suggested installing our waterguard around the perimeter of the basement floor (not pictured). Notice how the trench drain can be a very practical and clean looking option for doors. 

This customer was unsatisfied with their crawl space leaking out air that they were paying to control, and they were unsatisfied with how mold was growing in their crawl space. After calling for an inspection and reading up on our science, they realized they needed our help. After replacing the wood which was beginning to rot, we began to lay down our CleanSpace liner which completely isolates the house from the earth. Next, we seal the vents that insures we keep the outside air out and the inside air in. Lasty, we install our SaniDry dehumidifier system to make sure the air stays dry, and then we insulate the floor and walls of the crawlspace to save money on energy.
