The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This basement in West Chester, OH, was struggling to keep moisture out of the space. The existing sump pump was very inconsistent, and when it wasn't working, the basement would leak when it was raining outside. On top of the inconsistent sump pump, there were clogged spots in the exterior drainage system that left parts of the basement wet year round. We replaced their exterior system with our interior drainage system. Our WaterGuard drains were wrapped around the perimeter of the basement, right underneath the floor. We then installed our SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup system in the lowest graded part of the basement floor slab. Lastly, we wrapped the walls with our BrightWall wall paneling system to help channel moisture from the leaky walls down into our subfloor drainage system. The BrightWall panels also transformed the look of the basement.

The owner of this driveway in Cincinnati, OH, had already repoured this driveway once before, and they wanted to try a different solution this time. We leveled the driveway with our PolyLevel foam, and then sealed all the cracks with our NexusPro sealant. This solution was about half the cost of a total demo & repour, and it will last longer as well. There's a video about this project on our Youtube channel, and we recommend you check it out.

This garage lintel in Cincinnati, OH, was drooping before we lifted and stabilized it with a lintel repair. A garage lintel, (the top of the garage opening) can start to droop downwards over time, causing the lintel to look like a slight grin. We lifted the lintel by installing steel beams along the inside of both walls in the opening of the garage face. We then ran a steel beam across both jacks to distribute the load. After jacking the lintel back to plum, we then covered the steel beams with a fresh trim. This trim completely concealed the steel beams. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and was super impressed with our crews ability to work around the garage number pad on the right side.

The chimney on this Cincinnati, OH, home had started pulling away from the house due to foundation settlement, leaving a visible gap. The crack grew in depth as the crack ran up the joint where the chimney and home met, a sure sign the chimney was pulling away. We installed helical piers and used hydraulic pressure to lift the chimney back into position against the home. The structure is now level, secure, permanently stabilized, and ready to be sealed again. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see the transformation.

This crawl space in Cincinnati, OH, was wet, saggy, and musty. We started the repair by installing two of our steel SmartJack posts to help provide some much needed support to the sagging floor joists above. Next, we sealed the space with our drainage matting floors, our SilverGlo insulation wall panels, and our white CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a dehumidification system to keep the air in the space conditioned and dry. The homeowner was very pleased with the outcome, and they immediately started moving storage boxes into the newly converted space beneath the home.
