Keeping Crawl Spaces Dry with IceGuard in Berrien Springs, MI

Shirley believed she had water in her crawl space so she called our team and asked us to take a look. We did find water and so we installed IceGuard. The IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high. Lastly, this system is totally automatic so Shirely won’t have to worry about when she should turn it on or off. 

Installing TripleSafe in Berrien Springs, MI

Ewanah already had a sump pump, however he wanted his basement to be protected even if his electricity went out. Our team installed TripleSafe, the perfect system to ease his worries. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system has three pumps so that it can handle the highest pumping demands. In addition, one of the pumps is battery powered which allows it to continue to pump water even during power outages. Ewanah will no longer have to worry about his basement flooding even if his electricity goes out.

Waterproofing and Stabilizing a Basement in Berrien Springs MI

Chris owns a duplex in Berrien Springs that she will be moving into shortly. The unit she is moving into has an unfinished basement that has some water issues. There were also some cracks in the basement walls. Chris wanted a waterproofing system to keep the space dry and a product to cover the ugly walls.

To keep the basement safe and dry, we installed the WaterGuard drain system and the SaniDry XP. The WaterGuard is a drain that is installed below the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. It sends collected water to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The SaniDry XP is a dehumidifier that can stand in a corner or in a closest to not take up space. It not only keeps the space but also filters the air!

To fix the wall, we used CarbonArmor. This system is made up of fabric straps that are adhered to the wall with a high strength resin. This stabilizes the wall and keep the home safe. Lastly, she wanted her walls covered so she did not have to look at them. We used the BrightWall Panels which are waterproof, washable, and act as a vapor barrier. 

 

Waterproofing a Benton Harbor, MI Basement with TripleSafe Sump Pump and SaniDry

Our customer called in with a basement that was steadily leaking. It wasn't "a lot" of water, but it was enough to fill up a shop vac each week. That...sounds like a lot. Well, any water at all sounds like a lot, especially considering the leak made him have to pull up his carpet.

After installing a full perimeter of WaterGuard, we added a TripleSafe sump pump, extended discharge lines with IceGuard, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to make sure any ambient moisture in the basement wouldn't collect.

Benton Harbor Basement Dry Thanks to WaterGuard

 The owners of this Benton Harbor, MI home were more than annoyed when they would have to spend hours cleaning up water in their basement, only to have more enter once the job was supposedly finished. Luckily Ayers was able to take a load off of their back and help them waterproof their basement, saving them hours of unproductive work.

To collect the water from the leaks in the walls, Ayers installed the WaterGuard drainage system. This specially designed piping is placed on top of the footing around the perimeter of the room, collecting water and draining it to the TripleSafe sump pump before it can make its way to the rest of the room. TripleSafe is a one-of-a-kind sump pump system with three sump pumps in one liner. One of these pumps is battery operated, so the pump can still operate in the event the power goes out, and the other pump is located higher in sump hole and works in case the first pump fails or can’t keep up. The sump pumps water out of the basement and reroutes it away from the home through a discharge line.

WaterGuard and TripleSafe work well in this Benton Harbor, MI basement to continually keep water out, giving the homeowners a dry basement and a break from their mopping sessions.
