Pesky Crack Fixed with FlexiSpan in Copley, OH
Challenge
A homeowner in Copley, OH was experiencing a leaky crack during every rainstorm. This crack was located under an egress window in the foundation of the basement. They needed a solution in order to completely seal the crack for good. They found that Cleveland Basement Systems was their local, expert waterproofing company and scheduled a hassle-free estimate.
Solution
The inspector arrived on the day of the free estimate and affirmed that this crack needed permanently sealed. He explained that the FlexiSpan Crack Repair System would be the perfect solution and got them scheduled with an install date.
Installers got started on the project and began by jackhammering a small hole at the base of the crack on the floor in order to insert a WaterGuard drainage channel. The WaterGuard is a patented product that will effectively catch any water from the FlexiSpan and make sure it directs water safely away. Next, they began applying the membrane and sealant on the foam-lined drainage channel. This sealant is made of durable polyurethane that will not allow water to get through. Finally, they pour concrete at the base of the crack where they installed WaterGuard in order to further seal off water. Now, any water will be directed correctly and will not remain stagnate or cause damage to the basement.
This happy customer can now enjoy a dry basement and not worry about this crack leaking during a rainstorm!
