A section of a home in Westlake, OH was shifting and sinking into the soil. This was causing serious structural issues to the home that needed to be fixed as soon as possible. Cleveland Basement Systems came in and installed helical piers along the outside foundation. Helical piers are made of galvanized steel that are bedded into strong soil deep below the earth. A steel foundation bracket is connected to the helical piers and then attached to the home's footing. The foundation crew then lifted the home back towards it's original position! Helical piers permanently stabilize a moving foundation and can be adjusted as the years go by.
We stopped this wall from bowing inward anymore by installing the CarbonArmor and PowerBrace System. Together, these products uphold and strengthen the basement walls.
This homeowner in Medina, OH noticed the floor above the basement was sagging. Come to find out, the old supports that were holding up the joists were not holding the weight correctly. This was due to the low-quality and age of the supports. Cleveland Basement Systems installed the SmartJack stabilizing system along the sagging joists in order to permanently fix the problem. SmartJacks are different, and better, than other support systems on the market because they are made of strong, galvanized steel. This high-quality material will not corrode and can handle the weight of the floor above.
The PowerBrace wall stabilization system utilizes a joist-reinforcement setup that will now hold this cracking wall in place!
A homeowner was struggling with saggy, bouncy floors. Come to find out, he had rotting wood beams that were unsupported and unstable. Cleveland Basement Systems repaired this big issue by installing the SmartJack Stabilization System in the crawl space. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel that will not corrode or rust. This homeowner was excited to have an even, stabilized crawl space and floor!
