Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Lakewood, OH was experiencing wall failure in her brick foundation. Cleveland Basement Systems stabilized the wall by installing the EverBrace system. The EverBrace system uses steel corrugated panels that span between I-beams in order to strengthen the existing structure. EverBrace transfers the weight of the falling wall to the new support. Installers also securely attach CleanSpace between the wall and EverBrace in order to create an antimicrobial, waterproofed barrier. CleanSpace is a thick plastic sheet that works to reduce moisture and humidity.  Together, these two products will protect the foundation of this home. 

Cleveland Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the shifting foundation walls. Carbon fiber is a high-tensile strength that is nearly impossible to stretch. This allows the wall to be safely reinforced and stabilized. 

Horizontal cracking along the basement wall was causing structural issues to the home. This type of cracking means that the foundation is either settled or moving. Cleveland Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor in order to prevent further bowing and bending. Carbon fiber is a high tinsel strength material that is almost impossible to stretch. CarbonArmor is 10 times stronger in tension than steel and is specifically made to stabilize basement walls. 

Sagging beams in his rental property prompted this Cleveland homeowner to give us a call. We solved his problem by installing SmartJacks. SmartJacks are designed to both stabilize floors and lift them back up to where they are supposed to be. These fully adjustable steel support posts provide a customized fit in each home they are installed in.

This home is now structurally sound and the floors are no longer sinking. Are you having problems in your basement or crawl space? Call Cleveland Basement Systems today to schedule your FREE inspection and quote!

CarbonArmor straps were applied to this cracking, shifting wall in order to stabilize it. CarbonArmor utilizes high-strength carbon straps bonded directly to the wall using industrial epoxy, creating a 10x stronger-than-steel reinforcement.
