A homeowner in Youngstown, OH noticed recent cracking on the basement walls. As time went on these cracks were growing and changing. He noticed both vertical and horizontal cracking with water leaking from them. He found that Cleveland Basement Systems could provide professional advice during a FREE in-home estimate. The customer was quickly scheduled. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and began examining the walls. He noticed stair step cracking as well as horizontal cracks along the walls. He measured any deflection on the floors above and found none, meaning that the walls were not starting to bow- yet. Over time, if not addressed, these cracks can cause the wall to bow out. The inspector observed that the amount of water against the foundation was causing the cracks and leakage. He advised a full waterproofing system and wall stabilizing product would fix his issues. 

The inspector explained to the customer that the TripleSafe, WaterGuard and CleanSpace would successfully waterproof his basement. TripleSafe is a reliable three-pump system that handles thousands of gallons of water and hour as well as work during power outages. The WaterGuard is an innovative perimeter drainage system that sits along the interior footing to catch any water from the floors and walls which directs the moisture into the sump pump. CleanSpace is a tightly secured wall system that is tear-resistant and antimicrobial. Together, these waterproofing solutions would direct the water away from the home. 

To prevent further damage to the basement walls and protect the structural integrity of the home, the inspector recommended that CarbonArmor be installed. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger than steel to permanently adhere to and stabilize walls. This customer walked away with a free, written and detailed quote with the best products to fix these issues.

A homeowner in Youngstown, OH recently inherited her mother's home. She had noticed that whenever it would rain, the basement would get wet. She needed an expert to give her solutions to this problem before it got worse. She found that Cleveland Basement Systems was her local professional and was scheduled for a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the free estimate and began assessing the leaky basement. He noticed black water stains on the walls and floors as well as a slight bowing on one of the walls.

He stated that installing a high quality drainage channel and sump pump would do just that. Cleveland Basement Systems offers innovate and patented products such as WaterGuard and TripleSafe.
