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

A homeowner in Lagrange, OH contacted our office to set up a free in-home estimate for a new sump pump. Recently, especially during storms, they had experienced near-flood occurrences because their old system couldn't handle the incoming water. 

During the free inspection, the consultant made sure to inspect the entire basement and existing sump pump. When testing it, he determined that it had been over-run and was breaking down. He sat with the homeowner and explained that Cleveland Basement Systems has a patented, innovative and reliable sump pump that could ease any worry. The TripleSafe is a three-pump system. It's 1/2, 1/3 and battery backup pumps work in any situation to protect the basement from water damage. Together, the three pumps can handle up to 6,200 gallons of water an hour and kicks on during power outages. The TripleSafe would be the most long-lasting, reliable solution to this homeowner's current sump pump problems. 

A customer in LaGrange, OH noticed water coming through multiple cracks in the basement wall. They wanted to fix it before it got worse so they called Cleveland Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate. 

The inspector noticed the cracks in the poured concrete walls. The customer and inspector agreed that they should not only repair the cracks, but also install an effective waterproofing system along the perimeter of the basement. To fix the cracks, the inspector advised the FlexiSpan crack repair system. FlexiSpan is not like traditional epoxy resin, but instead, is a urethane-based sealant that is double sealed with a polyurethane foam strip. With FlexiSpan, the water from the cracks will not leak, but will be directed to a perimeter drainage system like WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage channel that sits even to the floor and against the walls of the basement. This optimizes the ability for water to be caught from both the floor and the walls. WaterGuard then moves all water to a sump pump to be ejected away from the home. TripleSafe is a dynamic sump pump with three separate pumps. The first pump works for most of the time, pumping up to 2,600 gallons of water an hour. The second pump starts up if the first pump fails or if there is an excessive amount of water. It can pump up to 6,200 gallons of water per hour. The third pump is battery-operated and kicks on during a power outage, ensuring a dry basement. To complete this project, CleanSpace wall covering would not only cover the FlexiSpan but would create a vapor barrier for the basement walls. CleanSpace is a thick pool-liner like covering that is securely attached to the walls. As a plus, its bright, white appearance gives the basement a cleaner appearance. Together, all of these products would keep this basement healthier, cleaner and drier.

A homeowner in LaGrange, OH noticed a vertical crack that went from the floor to the top of the wall in his poured foundation. He found Cleveland Basement Systems as the trusted and local foundation and waterproofing company in his area. He called in and quickly got scheduled for a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived to the customer's home and assessed the trouble crack. He noticed that it wasn't affecting the basement wall foundationally, but could become a leaky crack that might cause water damage to the space. He recommended the FlexiSpan crack repair system. The FlexiSpan is a patented solution to any crack and works better than the traditional patches or sealants. First, a drywell is developed into the floor at the base of the crack. Then, the crack is sealed with a urethane-based sealant. Next, a special polyethene ether foam strip is put over the first seal. This foam strip allows water to drain correctly within and behind it. This is then overlaid with polyethene sealant and tooled off to appear like a gray drywall compound joint. The drywell on the floor is then re-concreted. The FlexiSpan is just as it sounds, flexible, and will never leak or re-open.
