Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Wall Repair in Cuyahoga County

A customer located in Solon, OH called into Cleveland Basement Systems worried about the cracks in his foundation walls. He was concerned that over time, the cracks would get bigger and potentially cause water to leak through. The customer was quickly scheduled with a free, in-home estimate to assess the issue. 

Once the inspector arrived, he noticed the cracks in the basement wall. The customer was then recommended with the Cleveland Basement Systems patented creation called The FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system. This crack repair solution is a reliable treatment that directs any water seepage into the basement's perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan® is a more complex and efficient solution compared to the epoxy injection that is commonly used to fill cracks. Not only does the product use a crack sealant material, but it also includes a hidden drainage channel to assure any seeping water goes into your sump pump. The channel is sealed to the foundation wall and bends with any shifts in wall movement, assuring the crack and leaks have nowhere to escape. 

The homeowner left the estimate with peace of mind and solutions for the cracks in his basement! 

This customer in Rocky River, OH called in to request an estimate on his crawlspace that contained water seepage.

The SaniDry guarantees a filtered and dry space. The second product recommended is the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This three-pump system provides a fail-safe for when power goes out or there is a large amount of water build-up around the foundation. Just one of the three pumps can handle up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour! 

The customer truly loved these products and left the estimate with lots of solutions to his moisture issues!

Bert, an inspector with Cleveland Basement Systems, assessed the issues involved with this customers basement wall and concluded that he would benefit from two products. The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system was created to stabilize bending walls. This system involves steel I-beams that can be tightened and adjusted to make walls straighter without the need of outside excavation. In addition, the bowed wall can allow water to enter the basement so Bert recommended the customer have the WaterGuard drainage system installed. This waterproofing system works to capture any escaping water from the wall and direct it to a sump pump. This channel never gets clogs and stops water from reaching the basement floor. 

The customer was given lots of practical options to fix his bowing wall and moisture issues! 

This customer called into Cleveland Basement Systems needing to find a solution to his sump pump setup not working as efficiently. Our installers came in and found that the battery backup was not updated and was causing error messages. If left unresolved, this problem could have caused the sump pump to not discard water away from the house in a situation like a power outage. The team quickly replaced the battery with the patented Basement Systems Battery Backup System. This reliable product guarantees several hours of additional defense against water damage for when a power outage occurs. This customer can now trust that his entire sump pump system will work in any type of situation! 

A customer in Shaker Heights called in initially worried about a sagging kitchen floor and wanted a structural assessment of their basement. Come to find out, this customer's issues lied with their sump system. The inspector found that the basement waterproofing system that they had was old and needed upgrading. The old sump pump was collecting water but not dispelling it away from the home. The next rainfall might produce enough water to overflow the sump pump, possibly causing flooding in the basement. The inspector recommended the customer have Cleveland Basement Systems install the SuperPump Premier Sump Pump System. This sump pump is a multi-faceted product that uses a top-rated Zoeller cast-iron, 1/3 HP pump to force water away from the basement and your home. This system can expel up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour! When combined with the UltraSump Batter Backup system, which can assure a working setup during a power outage, this customer won't have to worry about a flooding basement. 

A homeowner in Westlake, OH called in complaining that whenever it rains the walls leak and water collects along the floor. Our expert inspector, Bert,  assessed the basement and found a couple of big issues. The walls of the basement were efflorescent. Efflorescence in a basement looks like a white or gray powdery substance. It appears on floors and walls when water is present and it evaporates, creating a deposit of minerals. Although harmless, it is a common sign of water in the basement. The other problem that Bert observed was mold. Mold can be harmless if not treated and can effect the health of humans and pets. 

Due to these problematic symptoms of water in the basement, Bert proposed the customer have multiple Basement Systems products installed including the following: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, TripleSafe, and SaniDry. WaterGuard and CleanSpace would help the excess water from the walls and floor move through specific channels to allow water to be emptied in a perimeter drainage system such as a sump pump. TripleSafe is a sump pump that assures small or large amounts of water get pushed out away from the house. Lastly, SaniDry is a dehumidifier that sucks up all of the humidity and moisture from the air, ridding of hostile environments where mold could grow. 

Bert gave this homeowner a wealth of options to fix his efflorescence, mold and water issues. 

The homeowner located in Maple Heights, OH was experiencing mold and water issues. She called Cleveland Basement Systems and quickly got set up with a free estimate. 

Our basement specialist noticed that water was not only leaking into her basement, but it was stagnant, which created dangerous mold. Mold is highly allergenic and can cause health symptoms such as coughing, headaches and skin irritation. It is very important to solve these problems swiftly! 

The expert inspector sat with the customer and explained all of the solutions that Cleveland Basement Systems will provide for her. Because of the moldy walls, it will be important that the drywall be replaced in the affected areas. Installers will then place CleanSpace along the walls. This wall system provides a clean-looking but practical fix to keep out water and allergens from the basement. Other products that our installers will put in are WaterGuard and TripleSafe. WaterGuard provides a clear path for any water to drain into a sump pump system without getting clogged up. In addition, TripleSafe sump pump is a vital part of this homeowner's installation because currently, the water has nowhere to go. This reliable, heavy-duty sump pump system can handle thousands of gallons of water if need be and will force the water away from the house. 

Our expert inspector and installers alleviated this customer's worries and provided the right remedy against moisture and mold. 

This customer requested an inspector to come out and assess how to fix sagging and settling issues in his basement. On arrival, the inspector noticed that one side of the basement was drooping and needed extra bracing on the joists. The inspector recommended SmartJacks to fix the issue. SmartJacks are a high capacity stabilizing solution that can support more than 60,000 pounds. They are made of high quality steel and will never be affected by wood rot, mold or moisture. 

Installers started by measuring the area and making sure the SmartJacks were lined up accordingly to the beams. Then, they jackhammered the concrete floor so that the jacks could fit firmly to the ground. The SmartJacks were then installed and the home is now securely balanced! 

A homeowner in Cleveland, OH stated that whenever it rains, water finds a way into the basement. He was worried about potential damage and the overall inconvenience of moisture in this area. Bert, an inspector at Cleveland Basement Systems, made sure to examine the problems and provide the customer with viable solutions to waterproofing the basement.

Bert ended up advising that the customer have WaterGuard and TripleSafe installed in the basement of the home. WaterGuard is a drainage system that lies flush to the concrete floor. It catches all of the water that may come in through walls, floors and any cracks. This product works perfectly with the TripleSafe sump pump because the water from the WaterGuard would drain into this sump pump. The TripleSafe can handle thousands of gallons of water at a time and is reliable even during a power outage. 

Bert made sure that all questions and concerns were answered and left the homeowner with plenty of solutions to fix his waterproofing worries. 

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! 

This customer called in complaining about erosion on his walls due to water leakage through the foundation. He noticed bubbling and peeling, so Cleveland Basement Systems quickly scheduled him a free, in-home estimate. 

The inspector observed old water residue on the walls which meant the leakage has been happening for awhile. This particular basement did not have a drainage system, so the water had nowhere to go but inside of the basement. The inspector recommended the TripleSafe sump pump because this system contains 3 versatile pumps to protect a basement from things like flooding, power outages and storms. The TripleSafe can handle thousands of gallons of water at a time and will then push the water out and away from the foundation. 

The customer left the estimate with a detailed, productive and free quote to fix his moisture issues.

She was scheduled with a hassle-free estimate. 

The inspector noted that water was coming through the crawl space blocks and recommended we install CleanSpace Encapsulation for her. The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation system gives 100% protection from water exposure using a thick, pool liner type material that is secured to the walls and floors. This covering catches any water that may present itself and directs it to a drainage system such as a sump pump. 

The inspector left this customer with a great solution to her moisture issues!

Our appointment center found the right date and time for the customer to meet with an inspector to take a look and receive a free estimate. 

Right away, the inspector noticed mold stains in the corners of the basement. Mold grows when high humidity and organic materials are present. Mold can cause health symptoms such as itchy throat, headaches and allergies. Two products were recommended to the customer that would prevent these water issues. CleanSpace wall covering is a durable 7-layer polyethylene material that is puncture resistant and directs any water to a drainage system. The "UltraFresh" additive makes sure that mold doesn't grow on the liner. The second product advised is the WaterGuard drainage system. This interior drainage system lays even with the floor and captures water seepage from the walls and floors and guides it to a sump pump. Together, both of these waterproofing solutions would prevent moisture and mold issues from effecting the home and those living there. 

The inspector made sure to provide the homeowner with a detailed and free quote.

This homeowner in Cleveland Heights, OH stated that there was water leaking in one area of their basement. They also noticed mold and mildew in the same spot that was green in color.

They searched the internet for reliable, local waterproofing experts and found Cleveland Basement Systems. They were quickly scheduled a free estimate. 

Bert, the inspector, noticed the mold growing on and around the old sump pump. Water was collecting close to the surface, meaning that it was not pushing the water out and away from the home like it should be. Bert recommended the Zoeller pump and the TripleSafe to replace the old, faulty one. The Zoeller pump outperforms others because of its pumping volume, build quality, durability, and float valve reliability. This cast iron sump pump can handle thousands of gallons of water and will push moisture away from the basement. 

Installers came in for an easy 1-day install and replaced the broken, old sump pump with the TripleSafe plus the Zoeller pump. Mold, mildew and moisture will not effect this homeowner's basement any longer! 

A homeowner located in University Heights, OH called in wanting to find solutions on how to create a cleaner environment for their children to play in. They noticed that whenever it would rain, the drywall in the basement looked to be getting wet. Cleveland Basement Systems promptly scheduled them with a no-obligation quote to present solutions to fix the water damage. 

An expert inspector arrived for the free estimate and visibly saw water intrusion coming from the cold joint. After assessing the area, he sat down with the customers and explained multiple products that would fix the current damage and prevent any future water intrusion. The first proposed product was WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a patented, below-floor drainage system that sits along the perimeter of the basement and guides water into the sump pump. To optimize the features of the WaterGuard, the homeowner was in need of an upgraded sump pump, so a TripleSafe was also included in the quote. This powerful system has three pumps that work to keep a basement dry all the time. The first pump activates the moment water is present in the basement and can handle 2,200 gallons per hour. In an event of higher levels of water or a power outage, the second and third pumps will work as a backup to make sure not a drop of damage is done to the space. As extra protection, the IceGuard is another drainage device that allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or is blocked for any reason. Even if IceGuard is covered by ice or snow, water can escape, avoiding a flooded basement. Lastly, to complete the goal of a cleaner and dryer environment, the inspector recommended the Basement Systems patented wall covering, CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a wall system that is securely attached and acts as a barrier in catching water vapors and will guide it to the sump pump. Not only is this an effective waterproofing solution, but it creates a bright, clean look. 

This customer now has a detailed, written quote that can provide them the best solutions and products for a dry, clean environment! 

A homeowner located in Cleveland, OH noticed a musty odor coming from the basement. The smell came from a spot in the basement where water was getting in. When water isn't removed quickly, it can create mold and mildew, which is the smell the customer mentioned. They were referred by another customer who had services done by Cleveland Basement Systems and they too were scheduled with a free estimate. 

The expert inspector met with the homeowner and started assessing the basement. The first observation was that this home did not have a sump pump at all. The purpose of a sump pump in the basement is to push any excess water out and away from the house. He recommended that the customer install a TripleSafe sump pump to fix their water and mildew issue. The patented TripleSafe is a three-pump system that is vital in safeguarding your basement from water intrusion. The innovative reason for three pumps is to prevent any flooding under any circumstance. The first pump works like any regular sump pump and catches the initial introduction of water in the space. Unlike any other sump pump, the TripleSafe's first pump can handle up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour. The second pump then operates if the first pump is overwhelmed by a large amount of water intrusion. The third pump activates if a power outage occurs, protecting the basement from any bad storm. The inspector made sure the customer understood the products and process that would help fix his damp, smelly basement.

A customer in Lakewood, OH had a dirt crawl space underneath his sunroom that he needed waterproofed.

SmartJacks are heavy-duty, threaded rods that are designed to lift the floor back to it's original position.

This customer originally called in because a plumber that was working in her basement noticed a void below the concrete. She figured this was a foundation issue and called Cleveland Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate.

When the inspector arrived, he informed the customer that the void under the concrete could be fixed by a polyurethane company. The inspector didn't stop there though. He still took the time to examine the basement and see if Cleveland Basement Systems could help. Come to find out, this basement had signs of water damage, including black water stains and efflorescence. Black water stains signal leaky walls and the coloration comes from the formation of mold. Mold loves stagnant water. Efflorescence was also present on the walls. This occurs when water evaporates on the wall after seeping into the basement. Efflorescence looks like a white or gray power deposit. It is not harmful but is a sign of water leakage. 

The inspector recommended the best waterproofing trio: The TripleSafe, CleanSpace and WaterGuard. The TripleSafe is a powerful and reliable sump pump that includes three separate pumps that work in any circumstance, like high water volume and power outages. The CleanSpace is a durable, 20mil thick white poly sheet material that is tightly attached to the basement walls. This patented system creates an effective moisture and vapor barrier. CleanSpace forces any water leaks to flow into a perimeter drain. Finally, the WaterGuard is a great perimeter drainage channel that sits flush to the concrete floor. It's ability to catch all moisture from the wall and floor and move it to the sump pump, makes for a very dry basement. Together, these three waterproofing systems would solve this homeowner's water problems.

This homeowner was concerned with failing beams and water issues in her 100 year old home. She needed an expert in both foundation support and waterproofing to assess the problems and found Cleveland Basement Systems as her local source. She was set up with a no-obligation, free estimate appointment. 

The inspector arrived to begin the free estimate. He noticed the customer had placed two temporary posts besides the rusted ones. This is a band aid and needed to be permanently fixed. The inspector advised that SmartJacks would be a great solution to repairing the beams and correctly supporting the home again. SmartJacks are a galvanized steel stabilization system that lifts the above floors and walls back to the position they are supposed to be in. The zinc-plated and galvanized steel qualities prevent rust and eliminate weakening from moisture. 

In order to solve the water issues in the basement, the inspector recommended the dream team: TripleSafe, CleanSpace and WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a perimeter drain system that lays flat and even to the concrete floor. This allows water from both the floors and walls to be caught and directed to a sump pump. The TripleSafe is a patented sump pump that includes three reliable and heavy-duty pumps to handle any volume of water or even a power outage. Finally, the CleanSpace is a wall covering solution that works as an effective vapor barrier. It not only makes the basement look cleaner and brighter with its white exterior, but it catches any water leakage and forces it to the drainage channel.

A homeowner in Cleveland, OH noticed stair step cracking on her foundation walls in the basement. Stair step cracks occur for reasons such as foundation settlement or moisture seepage. Before it got worse, she wanted a local expert to assess what solutions would work to prevent future damage. She found that Cleveland Basement Systems was her trusted expert and she called in to schedule a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived at the estimate and examined the cracking. The cracks were not large in width, but showed signs that the foundation was settling. The inspector sat down with the customer and explained that CarbonArmor and interior push piers would correctly support the wall and foundation. Steel push piers are hydraulically driven through the bracket into a stable soil layer. The weight of the home is transferred from the concrete foundation to the galvanized piers. The piers are then lifted to stabilize the foundation back toward its original position. CarbonArmor uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymers with very high tensile strength. This means it requires a very high amount of force to stretch or pull apart. Because of its tough qualities and ability to not stretch, CarbonArmor can be adhered to concrete walls to keep them from bowing. Together, these two foundation repair products would solve this customer's settling issues!
