Before & After Photos

A Georgetown, Ohio homeowner had concerns about moisture in the crawl space and was interested in encapsulation.  He met with Steve, a Certified Inspector, who recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system with drainage matting underneath, SilverGlo insulation panels, rim tight joist insulation, and a SmartSump sump pump installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner. In these pictures you can see the before and after of this crawl space.  Before, the crawl space had little to no protection from moisture seeping into the crawl space.  Now with the CleanSpace encapsulation system, the crawl space has a vapor and mold proof liner, and the SmartSump will drain any water that seeps under the CleanSpace liner out of the crawl space.  

In Yellow Springs, Ohio, a failed exterior waterproofing system left this homeowner's basement in need of serious attention. Our team at The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati expertly resolved the issue with an interior waterproofing system. As you can see in the after photo, we installed a SuperSump Plus sump pump and BrightWall panels to ensure effective drainage and protection. The reliable SuperSump Plus efficiently redirects water and prevents flooding, while the BrightWall panels keep the space bright and clean, serving as a vapor barrier that channel moisture safely outside.

This homeowner had stained walls and floors from water intrusions in their basement. They called us to fix the problem, so we drew up a solution. We planned for a full perimeter WaterGuard drain system, hooked up to a SuperSump Plus sump pump. We also installed BrightWall panels to help cover up those stains. 

One side of this basement was leaking water any time it rained, so this homeowner called us for help. We told them we could waterproof just the one problematic side for now, and if they needed more work done in the future, we could come back out and extend the system. Often times, we find that if you only waterproof one side of the basement, the water will work its way around and eventually begin to build up outside the wall of where there is no waterproofing system. This is because water pressure builds up around the foundation evenly, and a partial system does not relieve this pressure, meaning cracks and leaks can still form in untreated sections. This homeowner does not care if the basement leaks on the untreated sides because their basement isn't finished, and they know they could have us back out in a jiffy to complete the system once/if that day comes.

This basement in Lynchburg, OH, had a problematic wall that would constantly leak at the coves every time it rained. We installed our minimally invasive interior perimeter waterproofing system to stop the leaks. Including in this system are our subfloor WaterGuard drains and our SuperSump sump pump.
