Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Wall Repair in Avon

A customer recently inherited his father's home and desperately needed the basement waterproofed in order to sell it. He wanted to get it done right so he researched a local, reliable company and found Cleveland Basement Systems. When he called into the office, our Customer Care Representative quickly scheduled him with a free estimate. 

On the day of the estimate, the inspector arrived and began assessing the condition of the basement. What he found was severe water stains and intrusion on the walls and floors of the basement. He sat down with the homeowner and explained that we had the right products to stop water from leaking through, for good. First, we would install the WaterGuard drainage channel on the perimeter of the area. WaterGuard is a no-clog, all-catch system that drains all water into a sump pump. The TripleSafe is a three-pump system that works to eject water away from the foundation. The first pump works most of the time and will pump out 2,600 gallons of water an hour while the second pump kicks on during storms and handle 6,200 gallons an hour. The last pump is battery operated and ensures that water will be moved away from the basement even during power outages. Finally, the CleanSpace wall covering would be tightly attached to the walls to provide a strong vapor barrier to work against mold and mildew. This customer left the estimate with a detailed, written estimate providing him with the best fixes!

A homeowner in Avon, OH had been living in their home for about 15 years and the basement recently flooded. Over the years, hydrostatic pressure was pushing against the foundation and finally made it's way through the cracks in the basement. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that water exerts on a surface while standing still. If not addressed soon, the walls of the customer's home will start to bow and shift. They found that Cleveland Basement Systems could provide them with a free, detailed inspection. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and began examining the basement. He noticed efflorescence and water stains on the floors and walls. Efflorescence occurs when water is present, but dries quickly, leaving mineral deposits behind. Black and brown water stains were also a sign that water was sitting against the wall and finding it's way inside the home. The inspector sat down with the homeowner and explained that we could permanently fix these issues and provide a safer, healthier home. To do so, Cleveland Basement Systems would install a comprehensive waterproofing system that included the following patented products: TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace wall covering and WaterGuard drainage channel. The WaterGuard system is a perimeter drainage line that is guaranteed to not clog, but instead, catch water from the walls and floors to drain into the sump pump. CleanSpace is a white, bright wall covering that is 100% waterproof and tear resistant. TripleSafe is an ultra-reliable sump pump that is built with three separate pumps to work under multiple scenarios; even power outages and intense storms! The homeowner was left with a detailed, written quote with the best products on the market!

This customer called in wanting an inspection on his basement walls and floors. The homeowner stated that there was efflorescence appearing and wanted solutions to fix it. Efflorescence is when water is absorbed through the house's foundation and leaves a mineral deposit that looks chalky. Over time, this creates a high salt concentration and can lead to serious issues like damage to the foundation and more water leakage. 

The inspector made sure to explain the multiple waterproofing options that could prevent moisture from deteriorating the basement. One solution would be to install CleanSpace covering to the foundation walls. CleanSpace is a thick, durable material that channels any water present to a drainage system such as a sump pump. Another  waterproofing system that works great alongside CleanSpace is the WaterGuard drainage channel. This system is installed flush to the basement floor and moves the water from the walls and floor to a sump pump. Both of these products would assure that water would move away from the basement and prevent efflorescence from happening.
