The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Before & After Photos

In the after picture seen here, you can see two of our best products working in tandem to keep this basement dry. The white CleanSpace walls and our WaterGuard subfloor drains, (concealed beneath the fresh concrete) work together to drain water that may infiltrate from the floor and up above on the walls. These two systems are tied together and work as one to help lead the water down towards the sump pump system we also installed. Our CleanSpace walls also help conceal stained walls and must!

This tiny little crawl space was actually in pretty decent condition before we encapsulated, which is actually pretty rare to see. Most people wait until the last minute, which as we all know, will end up costing more in the long run to repair it when you wait. Although in decent condition, this crawl space was showing signs of rot just barely on the beams near the walls and corners of the crawlspace. It was also not insulated the best, something the customer was concerned about. We installed an encapsulation of CleanSpace drainage and matting around the entirety of the crawl space. We also sprayed foam insulation up near the rim joists where the CleanSpace could not reach. We also installed Foamax on one side of the crawlspace, where the crawlspace was closest to the outside air. All in all this was a smart customer who encapsulated and insulated their crawl space so they could save money on energy bills, rim joists repairs, and more importantly, save the air quality they must live with by blocking out moisture. 

This homeowner was having problems with their chimney sinking away from the home. Often times, chimneys have their own foundation and are very heavy, making them sink into the ground. We installed helical piers at the base of the chimney, and raised the base back to where it originally was installed. If you think you have a settling, sinking chimney, be sure to give us a call for a free & honest diagnosis!

We used our helical pier system to push this chimney back up against the home. Our piers are driven deep into load-bearing depths, allowing us to guarantee the structure will be stabilized. The result of this project was a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry any longer.

Polylevel Injection was used to level out these concrete sidewalk slabs. Polylevel Foam was injected through small holes that were drilled into the slabs. As the foam expanded, it filled the void underneath the slab and raised it to be level with the rest of the sidewalk.
