Before & After Photos

A Loveland, Ohio homeowner was interested in a vapor barrier and called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for help with this project.  The met with Brice, one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that CleanSpace is installed.  He also recommended that a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is installed.

CleanSpace is a bright white 20-mil-thick plastic liner that is attached with special fasteners to the walls and the floor of the crawl space to provide a vapor-proof barrier.  Not to mention, making the crawl space look great!

The SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is made especially for crawl spaces.  It has a special lid design so that water from plumbing leaking into the crawl space is drained down into the drainage system but it cannot get back up into the crawl space.  It also has a WaterWatch Alarm which will sound an alarm if there is a pump or power failure.  This will alert the homeowner to a problem in the crawl space.  This is an especially great feature to have since most homeowners do not go into the crawl space that often to know of any problems there.  

In Owensville, Ohio, a resident noticed that the floor in their home was sagging in the room above their crawlspace. To find out what was happening, they investigated their crawlspace and discovered that much of the support beams had been affected by wood rot.  After seeing a crawlspace repair commercial on TV, they called us.

Thankfully, we were able to help the Buhler family. 

First, we replaced the rotten wood in the crawlspace. Then, we installed SmartJacks to help support the floor above. After we installed the SmartJacks, we encapsulated the crawlspace with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Finally, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to keep the crawlspace dry. By encapsulating this house's crawlspace, we were able to level the floor in the room above. We were also able to keep the house more energy efficient. 

Before, this homeowner in Loveland, OH had a leaky, damp, musty crawlspace. The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati was able to come out and repair it using our CleanSpace System turning this crawlspace into something clean and completely moisture free.

This crawl space originally had a plastic vapor barrier and was dusty and dirty, like most crawl space areas are.  With the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed the crawl space is now clean and dry!

We gave this customer a proposal to encapsulate their crawlspace in 2020. They opted to install a sump pump by their self and chose a regular fan and dehumidifier to go along with it. In 2024, the customer chose to go with our original proposal because they felt their system was not helping take away mold and moisture. We installed CleanSpace liner, a SmartSump, perforated pipe drainage, 4 Smart Jacks posts, a supplemental beam, rim joist insulation, and a Sedona SaniDry dehumidifier. The result will give the customer peace of mind knowing that their crawl space and home are in great condition for the long haul.
