Reliable Solutions for Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Wall Repair in Barberton, OH

A homeowner in Barberton, OH recently purchased their home and noticed the floors were bouncy and cold. They knew they had a crawl space underneath the area, so he wanted an expert to inspect it to see what could be done to fix the issues. He found that Cleveland Basement Systems was his local crawl space repair professional and was quickly scheduled with a free estimate. 

The inspector arrived the estimate and crawled into the space. He noticed that old, rolled insulation had fallen off the joists of the crawl space, exposing the floor above to drafts. The reason the insulation had fallen was because of high moisture levels degrading it over time. Water infiltration and high humidity was causing this crawl space to be dirty, wet and not temperature controlled. The inspector advised that the CleanSpace encapsulation system be installed along with RimTite spray insulation. The customer was so excited to get this project done! 

On the day of the install, the crew arrived and began working to waterproof and insulate the crawl space. They began by laying drainage matting across the floor of the crawl space. This patented, dimpled drainage matt ensures that water does not sit stagnant and create mold, but it directs water to perimeter drainage. SilverGlo was then installed on all of the walls of the crawl space. SilverGlo is a reflective, rigid foam board insulation that returns heat back into the area. It gives a consistent R-Value that will continually insulate. CleanSpace was then attached to the floors and walls to give complete waterproofing coverage. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick liner that is tear-resistant and works as a powerful vapor barrier. Once this was installed, the last part of this project was to spray RimTite on all of the joists to seal any cracks and gaps that might allow air infiltration. The homeowner was ecstatic to have a new home with a transformed crawl space that is protected with the best products!

This is a sign of foundation movement and needed to be addressed before the structural integrity degraded more. He found that Cleveland Basement Systems was his local, expert that could provide him with a free but detailed, written estimate. 

During the inspection, the rep walked around the basement with the customer and took note of the bowing walls.

The rep advised that the walls needed to be stabilized in order to prevent further damage. Using the PowerBrace system, the walls could be permanently fixed. The customer was so excited to get the work done soon. 

On the day of the install, the crew arrived and began working to stabilize the walls. Zinc-plated steel were custom made for this basement ad secured tightly against the wall. To secure the PowerBrace beams the installers anchored brackets to the floor and floor joists. The PowerBrace system is an innovative stabilizing product that can be tightened over time to prevent any wall failure.

It directs the water that comes through the walls and floor to your sump pump. Bert then advised that Cleveland Basement Systems could install CleanSpace® on the walls.
