The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

The gap seen in the before picture between the 1st and 2nd step was an issue for this homeowner, and they wanted it fixed. You see, a gap like this usually means that there is some settling occurring under your concrete slabs. If the settling is too extreme and reaches a certain threshold, your slabs could crack from imbalanced support. The gap seen in the pictures can also invite rain water under your slabs, further accelerating the settling process.

We fixed all these problems by:

1. Leveling the slabs by raising parts with PolyLevel foam injections.

2. Sealing the gaps and cracks with our concrete sealant.  

To repair this crawl space in Walton, KY, we waterproofed it, encapsulated it, lifted it, insulated it, and dehumidified it. The waterproofing, encapsulating, and dehumidifying processes in the crawl space will make sure it stays bone dry year round. The SmartJacks we installed to lift the crawl space will help keep the floors above even and strong. The SilverGlo insulation paneling we installed will help save the homeowners money on energy. In just one day, we were able to give this crawl space all that it needed to live a long life, help conserve energy, support the floors above, and give the homeowners healthy air to breathe.

This home had a bowing wall and water leaking issues. These two problems are commonly seen paired together and so we used the common two solutions. First, we installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump to deal with the water issues. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to ensure that the wall does not move horizontally anymore. We also installed discharge lines with LawnScape outlets and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier as great compliments to the waterproof system. 

This homeowner was tired of two things with their old sump pump.

1. It wasn't moisture sealed.

2. It wasn't strong enough.

These two problems resulted in musty odors in their home.

We replaced their old sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump not only has a moisture sealed lid, it is also super powerful. Packed with a main pump, a secondary pump, and a battery backed pump, the TripleSafe is safe against power outages and massive water intakes.
