Protect your home with professional waterproofing & structural repair services in Lakewood

A homeowner in Lakewood, OH was looking for solutions to creating a healthier, cleaner crawl space. He noticed that the humidity and mildew smell was seeping in to the rest of his home. He wanted a reliable and local company to fix his dysfunctional crawl space and found that Cleveland Basement Systems fit the bill! He was quickly scheduled with a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the appointment and began assessing the crawl space by crawling into it. He noticed that moisture had caused old insulation to fall down and mold. There was also a low-quality tarp laid on top of the dirt and it was not correctly isolating the area from the damp earth below. The inspector explained to the customer that encapsulating his crawl space with CleanSpace would protect and prevent from high humidity, water seepage and mold. The customer was signed up for an install date then and there. 

On the day of the project, the crew began working to install CleanSpace on all walls and floors. They began by cleaning up debris and throwing away the old insulation and tarp. The old crawl space vent was closed to protect the area from outside air. They then installed SilverGlo insulation on all of the block walls. SilverGlo is a graphite-infused rigid foam board that effectively reflects heat back into the space. Next, they laid down drainage matting in order for any water leakage to channel to the perimeter drain. After this, they got started attaching CleanSpace to the walls and floors. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick pool-liner like material that is not only antimicrobial, but also acts as a vapor barrier- no more high moisture levels or mold! Once the installers were finished they performed a final walkthrough with the customer and cleaned up the work space. This happy homeowner can now reap the benefits of a clean and dry crawl space!

A customer in Lakewood, OH had a dirt crawl space underneath his sunroom that he needed waterproofed. Dirt crawl spaces are dysfunctional because the earth is naturally damp and this invisible stream of water vapor is never ending. This can cause rotting from the inside, out and cost on energy bills due to the lack of insulation as well. The customer was scheduled a free, in-home estimate to find solutions to waterproofing his dirt crawl space. 

The expert inspector crawled into the area under the sun room and made sure to note each problem and it's solution. He recommended two patented Basement Systems products that would insulate AND prevent moisture problems. SilverGlo is the insulation product recommended for this space. SilverGlo is a ridgid foam board with a reflective barrier that reflects heat back into a crawl space. It is attached to all the walls of a crawl space and will keep a consistent R-19 value. Then, he advised that Cleveland Basement Systems install the CleanSpace Encapsulation System on the walls and floor of the crawl space. This innovative, durable covering will keep moisture and pests out as well as isolate the house from the earth below.

A customer in Lakewood, OH complained of a leaky basement after every heavy rain. Water issues can be frustrating, so Cleveland Basement Systems quickly scheduled her a free estimate to figure out how to stop the intrusion. 

The inspector observed that water was seeping out from the cold joint in their basement. He recommended three patented, reliable products that would stop water at the source and drain it away from the basement: WaterGuard, TripleSafe and CleanSpace. WaterGuard is a no-clog drainage system that lays even to the basement floor. It catches any moisture from the walls and floors and drains it into a sump pump. A TripleSafe is the best sump pump on the market and works great with the WaterGuard system. TripleSafe has three separate, powerful pumps that guarantee three levels of protection against water intrusion in any situation. Lastly, the CleanSpace Wall Covering is a waterproof, tear-free vapor barrier that is perfect for unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is attached to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners and prevents moisture from passing through. All three waterproofing systems would leave this basement, clean, bright and most importantly, dry!
