The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati serving Clermont, OH

Homeowner Elizabeth S. was having problems with the drainage in her crawlspace at her home in Bethel, OH.  She contacted The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to see how we could help with this issue. After meeting with the homeowner, Mike S. recommended that she have a SmartSump system with a WaterWatch alarm installed. The WaterWatch alarm is an added benefit to the system. In case there is ever an excessive level of water in the space, the alarm sounds, alerting the homeowner to the problem.

Mike S. also recommended a CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system, which includes CleanSpace Drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner.  And to keep the humidity low in the crawlspace, he also suggested she have a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system installed.

A homeowner in Loveland had problems with water seeping into the basement during heavy rains.   They met with one of our Certified Inspectors who recommended a SuperSump Pump System along with UltraSump Battery Backup System and FlexiSpan Crack Repair System.

The SuperLiner that will not Crack and features a special pump ring that centers the pump in the liner.  The airtight Lid keeps moisture from evaporating back into the basement, quiets the pump and is strong enough to stand on.

A homeowner in Loveland has lived in their home for 60 years and had cracks in a wall in the basement that was seeping water.  The homeowner scheduled an appointment with Steve, a certified inspector, to give them a solution to this problem.

Steve recommended WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a SuperSump Pump System with an UltraSump Battery Back-up System, along with a SaniDry dehumidifier.

The WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is our patented sub-floor piping system designed to intercept the water that seeps into the basement and drains it out of the basement using the sump pump system.

The sump pump system that Steve recommended for this home was the SuperSump Pump System.  The SuperSump includes a 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron pump that can pump 2,650 gallons of water per hour.  The WaterWatch Alarm that sounds an alarm if the water rises about the point that the pump should have started, alerting the homeowner to an issue with the sump before damage can occur.  It has a SuperLiner that will not cave in or crack and a special Airtight Lid.  He also recommended an UltraSump Pump System.  The UltraSump is a battery back-up system that would come on during times of power failure giving the homeowner added security. 

The SaniDry Sedona removes moisture from the air and keeps the humidity low.  

These systems working together will provide the homeowner with a dry, healthier, usable space that they can enjoy for years to come. 

A Milford homeowner was having problems with water seeping into the basement.  The certified inspector recommended a WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System and PowerBraces to stabilize the foundation.  The homeowner decided to have WaterGuard installed on some of the walls in the basement and tie it into the sump pump system that was already there.

As a future project, the homeowner could have WaterGuard placed in the rest of the basement and also have the PowerBrace System to stabilize the foundation.  

A homeowner in Milford was having problems with water seeping into the finished basement through some cracks in the foundation.  They had tried to fix it themselves, but the repair wasn't working.  They met with Austin, one of our certified inspectors, who recommended to have WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing system, BrightWallPaneling system, SuperSump Pump System and a SaniDry.  The WaterGuard intercepts water that seeps in through the cracks in the foundation.  The BrightWall Paneling System directs the water into the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing system and is pumped out of the basement through a sump pump system, such as the SuperSump Pump System.  The SaniDry will keep the humidity low.  These products will keep the basement dry and the homeowner will once again be able to use the basement as extra living space.

A Bethel, Ohio homeowner was having problems with water seeping into a crawl space area of their home.  We installed CleanSpace Encapsulation System, along with SilverGlo Insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona.  The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that is attached with special spikes and fasteners to the floor and walls of the crawl space.  CleanSpace Liner creates a barrier between the ground and the inside of your crawl space.  It is mold and moisture proof and really brightens up the crawl space.  SilverGlo Insulation is a rigid foam insulation infused with graphite to reflect heat back into the crawl space keeping your floors warmer in the winter.  A SaniDry Sedona will keep the Humidity low in the crawl space.  The other product that the customer could have opted to have installed would be the SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System.  This is specially made for crawl spaces and features a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound an alarm to alert the homeowner if there would be a plumbing leak, pump failure or a power outage.  There's not a lot of homeowners who venture into the crawl space that often so this would be a great feature to have in your crawl space.

An Amelia, Ohio homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati regarding problems they were having with water seeping into the basement through a crack in the foundation wall.  The homeowner met with Walt, a Certified Inspector, who recommended a FlexiSpan Crack Repair System is installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System is a revolutionary, permanent, and a "works every time" solution.  A common way to repair a wall crack is using some type of injection method.  This will work for a period of time, but as the home continues to settle, the wall crack will most likely open again and begin to leak.  The FlexiSpan has three layers of protection against leaks.  First, a bead of sealant.  Next, is the Foam Drain Strip.  If there is any small amount of water that gets past the sealant, the foam drain strip will drain the water down into the drainage below.  The last layer is a sealant overlay a tough, flexible, waterproof seal that is installed from top to bottom of the crack creating a complete seal.

A Loveland, Ohio homeowner was having problems with a wall that was bowing in the basement.  The homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati and scheduled an appointment with Michael to find a solution to this problem.  Michael recommended that the PowerBrace System is installed to resolve the problem that the homeowner was having.

The PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is secured tightly against the wall with brackets that are attached to the floor and floor joists.  The PowerBrace immediately stabilizes the wall and protects it from further movement, and the adjustable bracket can be tightened over time to potentially reverse the wall failure.

A homeowner in Amelia, Ohio noticed some cracks in a basement wall so they called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for help resolving this problem.  The homeowner met with Mike, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that a WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, and a PowerBrace System is installed to resolve the problems that the homeowner was having in the basement.

WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system that is installed under the floor at the base of the foundation wall.  This piping system is used to collect and intercept water from seeping into the basement.  The water that is collected by the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is pumped out of the basement with a sump pump system, such as the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. 

The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is a high-end 1/3 hp pump that is used to pump water out of the basement.  The SuperSump can pump up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour out of the basement.  It also includes the WaterWatch alarm, the SuperLiner, and an Airtight Lid.  The WaterWatch Alarm will sound if there is a pump or power failure.  The SuperLiner is a rugged, heavy-duty liner that houses the pump and will not cave in or crack.  The Airtight Lid keeps moisture from evaporating back into the basement, keeps things from falling into the liner and also helps to quiet the pump.  

The PowerBrace System is steel I-beams that are secured tightly against the wall with brackets that are attached to the floor and floor joists.  The PowerBrace System is used to stabilize a wall that is bowing, cracking or tipping.  There is an adjustable bracket on the PowerBrace that can be tightened over time and can potentially reverse the wall failure. 

Having the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System installed will intercept the water that is seeping into the basement and then it will be pumped out of the basement by the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System.  This will keep the basement dry so that the homeowner can use it for storage or living space without worries of water intrusion.  AND with the PowerBrace System installed on the wall in the basement that was cracking, the wall is stabilized and protected from further movement. 

A Williamsburg, Ohio homeowner, was experiencing problems with water and moisture in a crawl space and called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution to this problem.  The homeowner met with a Certified Inspector, who recommended that a CleanSpace Encapsulation System and a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is installed to resolve the issues that the homeowner was having in the crawlspace.  

The CleanSpace Liner is a 20-mil-thick plastic liner that is attached to the walls and floor of the crawl space. The CleanSapce Liner is a bright, white color and reflects natural light and provides a moisture-proof barrier.

The SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is used to remove the water that seeps into the crawl space under the CleanSpace Liner.  The SmartSump has a couple of "smart" features that you may want to know about.  The SmartSump includes a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound when there is a pump or power failure.  The WaterWatch Alarm is a great feature to have, especially in a crawl space.  The homeowner may be aware when the power goes out, but if there would be a pump failure, the homeowner may not even realize that there is a problem until damage has occurred.  The other "smart" feature is the Airtight Lid that has an Airtight Floor Drain.  The Airtight Lid keeps moisture from evaporating back into the crawl space, keeps out insects and odors, and helps to quiet the pump.  The Airtight Floor Drain will allow water that flows into the crawl space from a plumbing leak to drain down into the Airtight Floor Drain and will be pumped out of the crawl space.  

These products working together will keep the crawl space dry and healthier for the homeowner.  To keep the humidity low, a SaniDry Sedona could also be installed.  The SaniDry Sedona is used to remove moisture, dust mite droppings, mold spores, and other particulates from the air.  Keeping the humidity at an appropriate level discourages mold growth and musty odors in the crawl space.  Why is this important?  The crawl space is a part of the home, so whatever is in the crawl space will get into the living space.  An important step to achieving a healthy home environment is to have a healthy crawl space.

A home in Amelia, Ohio was having issues with a concrete front porch that was becoming uneven and separating from the home. They were also having similar issues with a cracking and sloping back stoop. Our team installed a series of high-strength PolyLevel polyurethane foam injections beneath the fixtures in order to lift them back to level and permanently stabilize them. 

The owners of a home in Felicity, Ohio were disturbed to find their basement had been flooded after a power outage occurred during a summer storm. They had a sump pump system, but it didn't run during the power failure - causing the basement to flood. They also learned that their previous sump pump system had been installed by a company that was no longer in business. They decided that it was time to call the Basement Doctor. 

Our team made the decision with the homeowners to install a brand new waterproofing system in the basement. This system included a new TripleSafe Sump - which comes with a battery backup. That means that the pump will run even during power failures. With their new waterproofing system installed, the homeowners were grateful to no longer have to worry about their basement flooding during storms and power outages.
