Efficient Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Company in Stow, OH

Pam had been living in her Stow, Ohio home for nearly a decade, but it wasn't until recently that she noticed something strange in the crawl space. Every time she went down there, she felt a dampness that wasn't there before. After some research, she learned that the best way to combat this issue was to encapsulate the crawl space. With that in mind, Pam reached out to The Basement Guys®.

Our crawl space repair experts arrived on the scene and evaluated the space before setting to work. Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space with a heavy-duty plastic barrier to keep moisture and humidity out. Our CleanSpace® vapor barrier made for a perfect lasting solution to wet air in the crawl space. The durable plastic sheeting, comparable in thickness to a swimming pool liner, covers the dirt floor of the crawl space and locks out moisture for good. BrightWall® panels on the walls added antimicrobial protection and a clean finish to the space.

Thanks to these measures, Pam immediately noticed a difference in the air quality of her home, and was relieved that she no longer had to worry about the moisture and humidity in the crawl space. For more information on our crawl space encapsulation services, as well as our full range of crawl space repair solutions, call The Basement Guys® today to schedule a free in-home estimate.

Cracks in his home's foundation walls led one Stow, Ohio homeowner to call The Basement Guys® for help. While some types of basement wall cracks are simply the result of natural shrinkage or other benign causes and no cause for alarm, more severe cracks can lead to serious structural issues for the entire home. The cracks in these walls followed a stair step-shaped pattern along the masonry, which is commonly caused by foundation settlement. Additionally, the walls had begun to bow inward at the top due to pressure from water and soil built up outside.  

After evaluating the space, we recommended using wall braces to reinforce the walls and prevent further bowing. CarbonArmor® carbon fiber support straps were installed along the length of the affected wall and sealed in place with a powerful industrial epoxy. These lightweight, flexible straps offer durable weight-bearing support up to ten times that of steel.  

Once the CarbonArmor® supports were in place, we tightened them to gently push the buckling wall back in place. With lasting reinforcement from these powerful braces, the wall will stay that way for years to come.

A new homeowner in Stow, Ohio was making plans to finish her new basement and convert it into a secondary den. Before she could get started on this project, she wanted to upgrade the existing basement drainage system to prevent future leaks or floods. She called The Basement Guys® for a free estimate, and our team recommended installation of our WaterGuard® perimeter drain.

We dug out a trench along the baseline of the foundation walls and installed new piping. By placing this drainage system below the concrete floor but just above the foundation footing, it helps prevent clogs from mud and other debris. Additionally, this low-profile underground drainage system leaves no discernible footprint on the usable space of your basement, as we restore the concrete after installation. In addition, we hooked this new drainage system up to a new SuperSump® sump pump for fast and efficient water removal.
