Cleveland Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Horizontal cracking along the basement wall was causing structural issues to the home. This type of cracking means that the foundation is either settled or moving. Cleveland Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor in order to prevent further bowing and bending. Carbon fiber is a high tinsel strength material that is almost impossible to stretch. CarbonArmor is 10 times stronger in tension than steel and is specifically made to stabilize basement walls. 

A customer recently purchased his home in Parma, OH and noticed that water was leaking from the cracks in his foundation wall. If left unaddressed, this moisture could cause mildew, mold and further structural issues. Cleveland Basement Systems waterproofed his basement by installing CleanSpace and WaterGuard. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick, durable wall covering that resists mold using it's vapor barrier qualities. CleanSpace also gave a bright, clean look to this once dark, leaky basement. WaterGuard drainage channel was installed along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a no-clog system that catches any water from the floors and walls to drain into the sump pump. This customer can now enjoy a healthier, drier basement! 

Old wall coverings and insulation were disintegrating due to water in the crawlspace. Installers put in a more durable encapsulating system called CleanSpace which will help the crawlspace stay dry and protected against moisture. 

This homeowner was experiencing sagging joists in his basement. SmartJacks are the ideal solution for supporting drooping or bowing floors and beams.  

A landlord in Cleveland, OH needed to fix a leaky basement for their tenants. Water had leaked behind part of the drywall and under the flooring. Installers at Cleveland Basement Systems installed CleanSpace and WaterGuard to remedy these moisture problems. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick, antimicrobial material that is tightly fastened to the basement wall. CleanSpace will prevent mold growth and move water into the perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard is the catch-all drainage channel that lays even to the floor. This allows water seepage to be caught and emptied out into a sump pump from the walls and floor. The before picture shows how installers prepped the wet basement for CleanSpace and WaterGuard. Part of the damaged drywall was removed and a channel was dug so that WaterGuard would fit along the perimeter. The after shows how WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter flooring and CleanSpace is secured to the walls.
