Cleveland Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing sagging joists in his basement. SmartJacks are the ideal solution for supporting drooping or bowing floors and beams.  

A landlord in Cleveland, OH needed to fix a leaky basement for their tenants. Water had leaked behind part of the drywall and under the flooring. Installers at Cleveland Basement Systems installed CleanSpace and WaterGuard to remedy these moisture problems. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick, antimicrobial material that is tightly fastened to the basement wall. CleanSpace will prevent mold growth and move water into the perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard is the catch-all drainage channel that lays even to the floor. This allows water seepage to be caught and emptied out into a sump pump from the walls and floor. The before picture shows how installers prepped the wet basement for CleanSpace and WaterGuard. Part of the damaged drywall was removed and a channel was dug so that WaterGuard would fit along the perimeter. The after shows how WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter flooring and CleanSpace is secured to the walls. 

A homeowner was experiencing a leaky and efflorescent basement wall. CleanSpace will help move any water into the WaterGuard drainage system and keep moisture from damaging the space. 

This foundation was shifting and needed permanently stabilized. Using GeoLock anchors, heavy-duty earth anchors were embedded in stable soil that are connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. This system can be tightened during dry seasons, allowing your walls to completely straighten over time. Installers make sure once they are done, to cover the ground with the dirt and make it look good as new. 

Installers dug an area for the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump in the floor of this basement. Once installed, they made sure to cement the area in order to conceal the drainage system. WaterGuard will work to move any and all water into the TripleSafe and, from there, be pumped out away from the house. CleanSpace is hung tightly on the wall and is a highly effective vapor barrier that will decrease humidity and move water to the drainage system.
