Granger, MI Basement with Unwanted Moisture

We received a call from a customer in Granger, Indiana about his basement, he was experiencing wet walls so we gave him a free estimate and then decided to install WaterGuard technology among many things. The WaterGuard is the pipe that runs water underneath the floors. This system runs on top of the footing instead of alongside it. The WaterGuard has a big drain outlet to the sump. It also has a built in tiny gap between the floor and the wall so that it can drain any wall leaks.  This system is designed not to clog by having holes in case of debris clogging the pipe. The WaterGuard collects the water from drains in the basement.

Using Egress Windows and Wells in Granger, IN

A homeowner wanted our team to install an egress window and well in her home. Egress Windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition to having a safe exit in your basement, these windows provide lots of natural light. Lastly, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Egress Window Replaces Tiny Basement Window in Granger, IN Home

Tim was looking to get a better window installation that would replace his current small basement window. He gave Ayers a call to see the options we offer. Our crew informed him that he would love our Egress Window option and he decided to go ahead with the installation.

 

Our Egress Windows are the perfect option for basement windows as they are larger so they provide more natural light which opens up your space more. This is a great idea for when you want to finish your basement for guests and entertainment. These windows include a well with a step in it to allow for a quick and easy exit option in the case of an emergency. We also installed a cover and lid for the window to ensure it remains protected and sealed. 

 

Tim was very satisfied with the finished and more inviting look the Egress Window offered his basement space!

FlexiSpan Repair in South Haven, MI Home Sale

A crack emanating from a window in this home's foundation was the final obstacle to the pending sale of the house. When we get calls from people in the middle of a sale like this, we try to turn it around as quickly as possible. Luckily, we were able to send out both our System Design Specialist and production crew in short order, and from the time our customer called to the time the project was finished was six days.

A FlexiSpan repair took care of the crack, which the owners had tried to repair themselves to no avail.

Leaky Walls in South Haven, MI Fixed with DryTrak

A call about a wet basement will always grab our attention. This homeowner was dealing with pooling on her floor. The moisture from the ground outside found a way into the basement through several cracks in the walls. You can see in the during/after shot where the water was pooling under the wood panels.

The best way to fight leaky basement walls is with a drainage system. These systems run around the entire perimeter of the basement and any obstacles. Water is most likely to seep down the walls and collect in the joints where floor and wall meet, so the pipes are also placed there. In the case of monolithic or thick floor, where jackhammering could result in a long and messy installation, we use the DryTrak system. Unlike our other systems, DryTrak piping is installed above the floor. The piping system will direct water to the homeowner’s new Super Sump and deposit the water outside. And just like that, her wet basement is a thing of the past!
