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

Ashley of Euclid, OH had an older home that had both foundation and water problems. Ashley noticed that in several areas of her basement she had cracking and leaning walls. These cracks often allowed water to seep into her basement, especially during heavy rain or snow. She decided to give Cleveland Basement Systems a call in hopes to find a solution that could fix both basement issues once and for all. 

After assessing Ashley's situation our crew installed a Waterproofing System that will permanently stop all water from entering the space. We began by creating space around the perimeter for our WaterGuard Drainage System, as well as our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The system also includes our CleanSpace Wall System that creates a strong vapor barrier by catching all water allowing it to flow into the Drainage System. From here, the water will then be pumped to the exterior through the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Along with the waterproofing system, our crew installed the PowerBrace System that adds the necessary support to the foundation and improves its position over time. 

Ashley is thrilled that Cleveland Basement Systems had a solution for both her moisture and foundation issues. Her and her family will be able to enjoy their basement knowing that it is permanently safe and healthy.

Jamie from Euclid, OH had been experiencing stair-step cracking in multiple areas of her basement walls. Some of the cracks ran along the entire length of the wall, so Jamie knew that it was crucial to get them inspected. Our team was able to provide a solution that would eliminate this problem for good. 

We installed our PowerBrace Wall Bracing System that is developed to support leaning foundation walls. The installation of the PowerBrace system does not require any outside excavation and is non-invasive. This system will immediately stabilize the walls of Jamie’s basement, while improving the positioning of the walls over time. 

Jamie is so happy with her newly stable and secure basement and is reassured knowing that the support system will be able to progressively better the position of her foundation over the years.  

Mark, a homeowner from South Euclid, Ohio expressed that he had horizontal cracking towards the top of his basement wall. The cracking was due to water expanding the surrounding soil, putting a lateral pressure on his basement walls. This expansion could be very significant during seasonal changes. 

Our crew went in with our PowerBrace Support System that is designed to support leaning, bowing walls. This system can be periodically tightened in order to maintain the pressure needed to improve the position of the wall. The installation of the PowerBrace System will be able to support the foundation of this home, even with pressure from exterior soil.

Mark is excited and grateful that his home is safe and back to stability and is relieved that his basement will be permanently crack-free!

Tony and Christine from Euclid, OH had issues using their basement for storage. They decided that they needed our help waterproofing their space to ensure their items in storage did not get damaged. We came up with a plan to install a full waterproofing system that would keep Tony and Christines basement permanently dry. 

We began by installing WaterGuard, a non-clogging system that will catch any water seepage. After installation, this system is invisible and will sit completely underground. We also decided to install a TripleSafe Sump Pump, that has a battery powered backup pump that will allow it to properly function, even with power outages. Outside of the house you will find IceGuard pipes that will allow water to flow if the pipe may freeze. 

These customers can successfully use their basement for whatever they may need from storage to a living space. The waterproofing system that is now installed will make this space comfortable for good. 

A homeowner located in Euclid, OH was in a constant battle with her crawl space. This humid, dirty space was causing poor air quality and moldy smells in her home. She had Cleveland Basement Systems out for a free in-home estimate and was able to have long-lasting solutions suggested to fix her yucky crawl space. She couldn't wait to have it done!

On the day of the install, the crew arrived and began waterproofing the dirt crawl space. Using 20mil thick liner, CleanSpace, they attached it securely to the walls and floors of the crawl space to isolate the home from the humid earth surface. As a nice plus, CleanSpace brightened up this dark area with it's white exterior. In order to completely seal the crawl space off from the outside elements, the crew installed the CleanSpace vent cover. This rugged PVC plastic vent is non-degradable and will protect this home from temperature, humidity and pests!

He explained that we could install a comprehensive waterproofing system to stop water from damaging the basement. The homeowner was so excited to have patented, reputable products that would work to waterproof her home for years to come. 

On the day of the project, the waterproofers arrived and got started by making room for the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a no-clog, perimeter drainage system that lays flush to the floor. It catches water from both the wall and the floor to drain into the sump pump. Once installed, the crew backfilled with gravel and concreted over to make it nearly invisible! Next, they installed the TripleSafe sump pump. This was installed at the lowest point of the basement so that the most water could drain and eject away from the home. This three pump system is equipped with a 1/2 and 1/3 horsepower pump to handle thousands of gallons per hour. The third pump is a battery backup and will work during a power outage to further protect the basement! The homeowner was relieved to finally have a dry basement.

A homeowner in Euclid, OH was nervous that their foundation was sinking. They found that Cleveland Basement Systems was their local, foundation expert and called to schedule a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the estimate and began assessing the foundation of the basement. He immediately noticed the horizontal cracks along multiple walls. Horizontal cracks are a telltale sign of a shifting foundation wall. These cracks are most likely due to hydrostatic pressure, which is water pressing against the wall, which over time will move it. The inspector recommended that a waterproofing system and wall stabilizers be installed. He advised that having Cleveland Basement Systems install a TripleSafe, WaterGuard, CleanSpace would waterproof the basement while CarbonArmor would stabilize it. The TripleSafe is a three pump system that ejects up to 6,200 gallons of water per hour as well as kick on during a power outage. The WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage line that is a no-clog system designed to move water into the sump pump. The CleanSpace is a 20mil thick, tear-resistant liner that acts as a powerful vapor barrier. These three patented waterproofing systems would protect the home from further hydrostatic pressure. The CarbonArmor system is a strong, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer that is 20 times stronger in tension than steel. The adhesive penetrates the surface of the concrete to prevent further shifting. The homeowner was left with a detailed, written quote with reliable products that would protect the home for good.
