The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

This older existing sump pump was not pumping water out efficiently enough, so the homeowner called us to replace it with one of ours. They elected for the SuperSump, which will displace water at a much faster rate than the existing pump. It is also much quieter, more energy efficient, and more dependable. 

This crawlspace was sinking and it was leaving the floor boards saggy. To fix this and stop the foundation from moving any further, we installed helical piers under the crawlspace. The piers were also able to raise the house back to normality. 

We were able to replace this existing pump with our Triple Safe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump is equipped with three different pumps, a main one, a secondary one, and a battery backed one. We were also able to configure the pump to their existing discharge lines, since they were not clogged and were working just fine. 

This homeowner wanted an egress window installed for their finished basement so they could finally build a bedroom down there. When installing the window, we made sure to keep their finished basement clean and protected from all the ensuing dust from cutting through their concrete wall. The new egress window will provide a safe emergency exit for anyone living down there. 

This rather large crawl space was very susceptible to water leaks. Who knows how long those pools of water had been sitting there at the floor of the crawl space. Either way, we began to waterproof by installing perforated pipes in the floor of the crawl space along the perimeter. We then backfilled the pipes with gravel. After that, we hooked the pipes up to two SmartSump sump pumps, placed in opposite corners of the crawl space. Bigger crawl spaces that are susceptible to large amounts of water often need two sump pumps. We then hooked both pumps up to two Ultra Sump 4 battery backups in case of power outages or pump failures. We then installed drainage matting and CleanSpace liner all across the crawl space. The SmartSump sump pumps were built to be fitted with CleanSpace, allowing for no moisture intrusions. We then installed a dehumidifier for extra protection against any excess moisture. The pools of water are now forbidden!
