The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This home had a wall that had a long horizontal crack from a shifting foundation. We installed helical piers to seal the crack back together and to stop the foundation from shifting again. 

A SmartJack was used to support a floor that was unlevel, sagging, and creaking.  The SmartJack has an adjustable screw that is used to raise the floor to the correct position.

This crawlspace's main beam was being held up by a pile of rocks. Of course, this is unsustainable, and we needed to implement SmartJacks to help support the foundation. 

A nasty crawlspace formed by dirt, moisture, and bugs can lead to poor living conditions for the inhabitants living above the crawlspace. In order to encapsulate and reduce the risk of the crawlspace flooding we installed a lot. First we installed a vapor barrier by placing CleanSpace and drainage matting over the walls and floors. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartPump sump pump on one side of the large crawlspace, and a UltraSump 4 sump pump on the other side. We topped it off with SilverGlo insulation panels, which will help save big money on energy bills. 

This crawl space was exposed to the open earth resulting in issues like wood rot, moldy air, and poor insulation. We fixed these problems by encapsulating the crawl space and installing a SmartSump sump pump.
