Cleveland Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Cleveland Basement Systems helped this homeowner in Amherst, OH rid of high humidity, pests and drafts once caused by their dirt crawl space. By installing the CleanSpace encapsulation system, this crawl space is now secluded from the naturally wet, humid earth surface. 

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. 

Our team of expert waterproofers not only cleaned this basement, but also installed an ultra-reliable sump pump and vapor barrier system. The TripleSafe has three separate pumps, including a battery backup, that will move water far away from the basement. The CleanSpace wall covering is a powerful vapor barrier that rejects mold growth and gave a clean, bright look to this once dark basement.  

Cleveland Basement Systems fixed this leaky crack with the three-part FlexiSpan solution. FlexiSpan utilizes a urethan-based sealant, polyurethane foam strip and gray drywall compound joint in order that water can drain safely into a drywell. 

FlexiSpan was installed on this leaky wall crack in order to permanently repair it. FlexiSpan is just like it sounds, flexible, in order to move with the wall and direct water into a drywell. FlexiSpan will outlast other traditional crack repair products, so the homeowners can have peace of mind about their basement.
