Cleveland Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Faced with a damp walk-out basement in Vermilion, OH, this homeowner knew it was crucial to waterproof before drwall and flooring were added. Cleveland Basement Systems installed our CleanSpace wall covering solution, transforming a once musty space into a dry, inviting area ready for future project plans!

FlexiSpan helped seal this crack permanently and water will now drain effectively! 

This customer noticed the addition on his home was sinking year after year. The addition was built on poorly compacted soil, resulting in settlement. Cleveland Basement Systems installed heliacal piers on either side of the addition in order to permanently stabilize it. Helical piers have helix-shaped blades welded to the shaft that allow them to be mechanically screwed into the ground. The before picture shows how the crew prepped the foundation for the piers. Installers then used specialized hydraulic equipment to drill the piers into the ground and attach steel foundation brackets  to the foundation's footing. Through the helical piers, the weight of the addition is transferred onto load-bearing soils below the surface. Helical piers are a great solution to stabilizing a lighter structure, like additions, that have settled. This customer can have peace of mind that their home is structurally supported. 

A homeowner in Lorain, OH was being kept up at night worrying about if his basement was going to flood after every heavy rain storm.
