Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Wall Repair in Brookpark

A customer in Brook Park, OH wanted a solution in fixing their cold crawl space. They noticed that the air from the crawl space was leaking up into the rest of the home and was bringing unwanted drafts. They found that Cleveland Basement Systems was their local, trusted expert and called to schedule a free estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and began evaluating the crawl space. He noticed that the floor of the crawl space was cement, which can make an area very cold. He also noticed that the crawl space was not encapsulated fully, leaving gaps between the cold block walls and the rest of the house. He suggested that CleanSpace encapsulation and SilverGlo be installed to better insulate and protect the crawl space. 

SilverGlo is a graphite-infused rigid foam board with a never-breaking R-11 value. This reflective insulation is installed on the walls of a crawl space and ensures that heat is kept inside. The CleanSpace encapsulation system is a durable, 20 mil thick covering that is securely attached to all walls and the floor after SilverGlo is put up. CleanSpace not only helps insulate the space further, but it also directs any water seepage into a perimeter drain! Together, SilverGlo and CleanSpace would insulate and eventually lower utility bills for this customer!

A customer located in Brook Park, OH experienced flooding in her basement a few times over the past couple of years and needed to address it. She found that Cleveland Basement Systems was her local waterproofing expert and scheduled a free estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and noticed excessive dampness, mildew and discoloration in the basement due to the years of flooding. He advised that in order to prevent further damage, the TripleSafe and WaterGuard needed to be installed. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three pump in one system that ensures a dry basement in any scenario. The first pump is a high-quality Zoeller 1/3 hp cast-iron pump that will do the majority of the work most of the time. The second pump is a 1/2 hp cast-iron pump that turns on in the event the first pump fails or can't keep up. The third is a battery-operated UltraSump pump that kicks on if there's a power outage.  The TripleSafe can handle thousands of gallons of water at a time. WaterGuard is a no-glog drainage channel that has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain leaks. This system will not cause damage to the foundation and directs all water into a perimeter drainage system like a TripleSafe. 

This homeowner left the estimate with lots of solutions to fix her water-damaged basement.

This customer in Brook Park, OH primarily wanted insulation done in the crawl space of her home. Cleveland Basement Systems not only delivered on that promise but waterproofed the space as well! 

First, the installers fastened SilverGlo to the concrete block walls. SilverGlo is a graphite infused foam board that not only radiates the heat back into the area but keeps a constant R-11 value. Then, technicians secured the CleanSpace covering to the wall of the crawl space. This multi-layered liner is non-biodegradable and will stay put permanently, while also protecting the crawl space from mold and moisture. 

This customer now has an insulated and waterproofed crawl space!
