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

A homeowner in Elyria, OH had a poured basement foundation that had a vertical, leaky crack. This crack would leak even more during heavy rains and the Spring season, so the homeowner knew it was time to permanently fix the issue. Instead of putting a Band-Aid on the issue, he wanted a professional and long-term solution to stop water from coming in through the pesky crack. He found that Cleveland Basement Systems was his local waterproofing expert and spoke to our Customer Care Representative to schedule a free estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the free estimate and began his thorough assessment. He measured the watery crack and sat down with the customer to explain the solution. The inspector advised that we install the FlexiSpan crack repair system over the entirety of this trouble crack. FlexiSpan is a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the crack. Next, a porous foam is installed over the crack. Once that is done, the third step is to adhere an impermeable membrane to the wall on both sides of the foam. This innovative system will now direct water to the waterproofing system in the basement. This customer is so excited to get the work done soon!

A homeowner in Elyria, OH had been living in their home for about 6 years and recently noticed the floor starting to sag near the kitchen. Below the kitchen floor was a crawl space. They needed a professional solution to fixing the structural issues in their crawl space before it got worse. They called into Cleveland Basement Systems and got scheduled with a free in-home estimate. 

During the free estimate, the inspector climbed into the crawl space and started to assess the issues. He noticed the wooden beam was rotted due to high humidity levels. He suggested that Cleveland Basement Systems install the SmartJack system in the crawl space in order to stabilize it. SmartJack is a high-capacity, fully adjustable steel pier that is installed on the beam to stabilize and raise it back to it's original position. Saggy and bouncy floors are not only a nuisance, but a danger to the structural integrity of the home! The customers left the free estimate with a detailed, written quote with the most reliable crawl space stabilization product on the market.

A customer in Elyria, OH noticed that whenever it would rain heavily, water would come in through the walls and floors of the basement. They searched the internet for a local, trusted waterproofing company and found Cleveland Basement Systems. The homeowner was promptly scheduled with a free estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and began observing the condition of the basement. He noticed water stains on the cinder block walls in the corner where the original sump pump was. Water stains are a sign of moisture issues. If not addressed, the water will continue to leak in and may cause mold and mildew. The inspector also determined that the sump pump was not working correctly and needed to be updated to a better one. Additionally, he recommended a drainage system along the perimeter of the floor, to catch any and all water.

The two products that would get the job done is the TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard drainage system. The TripleSafe sump pump is a patented, highly effective system that contains three separate pumps that work in different circumstances. The first pump is the most powerful and works as the primary pump. At 1/3 horsepower, this cast iron pump can handle up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour! The second pump kicks on if the first one fails or there is an abundance of water volume. This 1/2 horsepower pump can handle up to 6,200 gallons per hour. The third pump is a batter-operated one and turn on automatically if power fails. No matter the situation, TripleSafe keeps basements dry. Finally, the WaterGuard system works perfect alongside the TripleSafe because it sits even to the basement floor. This reliable drainage channel catches all water from the walls and floors and directs to the sump pump. These two products would guarantee this customer a dry basement, especially during storms.
