This homeowner had both foundation and waterproofing issues in her basement. Cleveland Basement Systems installed the PowerBrace, CleanSpace and WaterGuard systems to combat all of these issues. CleanSpace was first installed on the cement block wall to resist mold growth as a powerful vapor barrier. Once the PowerBrace system was put in, they transferred the weight from the weak wall onto the strong, steel beams. WaterGuard was then laid at the base of the PowerBrace system along the perimeter of the basement in order to catch all water and direct it to the sump pump.
This customer's foundation was slightly bowing due to hydrostatic pressure behind the wall. This caused stair-step cracking along the walls. Cleveland Basement Systems installed the two-part epoxy adhesive, CarbonArmor, to reinforce the wall. CarbonArmor uses carbon fiber that is 10 times stronger in tension than steel and is designed specifically for basement walls.
This homeowner's foundation was bowing and shifting, creating an unstable home. Cleveland Basement Systems installed the GeoLock wall anchor system to stop wall failure in its tracks. GeoLock is installed through the foundation and into stable soil in order to permanently stabilize the foundation wall.
Our expert installers at Cleveland Basement Systems installed the GeoLock system in order to stabilize this bowing basement wall. GeoLock utilizes the stable soil outside of the home to relieve pressure from the wall. Once done installing, our crew makes sure to correctly backfill the dirt to cover the job site.
This Sandusky homeowner was experiencing sagging floors in her home. We were able to solve this problem by installing SmartJacks! SmartJacks are fully adjustable steel support posts that support weak beams and bring sagging floors back up to where they need to be.
This home is now structurally sound and the homeowner is so glad her floors no longer sink when she walks on them!
