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

A homeowner was experiencing water in his crawl space. This was causing mold and mildew to grow. What was making the situation worse was that his whole crawl space had been spray foam insulated even though it was damp. This caused moisture to get trapped between the foam and the walls and floors. This water issue could eventually cause the wood joists and beams to rot, creating an unstable crawl space as well as a wet one. The customer found that Cleveland Basement Systems was their local expert and scheduled a free in-home estimate. 

The inspector arrived and immediately crawled into the area. He noted the wet spots and created a detailed, written quote. The inspector sat down with the customer and suggested that it be waterproofed with WaterGuard and TripleSafe. The WaterGuard drainage channel is a no-clog, sub-floor system that is installed along the perimeter of the crawl space. It catches water from both the walls and floors to drain into the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe is an ultra-reliable sump pump. This three-pump system is one of a kind with it's 1/3 HP, 1/2 HP and battery backup pumps. These three pumps work in all sorts of situations in order to safely eject water away from the home. These two patented waterproofing sytems would keep this crawl space drier and healthier.

A homeowner in Solon, OH noticed his wall was bowing more and more each year. Stair-step cracks were growing and water was also leaking through them. He knew this was a serious foundation issue, so he called Cleveland Basement Systems for a free, detailed inspection. 

The inspector arrived to the home and began assessing the wall movement. He measured inward bowing about 6 inches at the floor and a shear mortar joint crack in the block wall. This shearing and inward bowing meant that the wall was under pressure, which caused unhealthy movement. To prevent total wall failure, the inspector sat down with the homeowner and explained that the GeoLock system could stabilize the wall. GeoLock is a galvanized steel anchor that utilizes plates buried in the soil up to 480 square inches of bearing surface. This large surface area allows the wall to be straightened and relieved from the pressure. GeoLock works with various types of soil, presents minimal home disturbance and permanently stabilizes foundation walls. The homeowner was left with a detailed, written quote that offered the solutions to fix his shifting wall.
