Waterproofing a Holt MI Basement with Crack Repair
These Holt homeowners were having some issues with their basement. They had some cracks that were starting to separate and water coming into the area in several places. We had solutions for both problems to keep the basement dry and safe. We started with the CarbonArmor to stabilize the walls and keep the wall from moving any further. We then installed the DoubleSafe Sump Pump System which receives water from the drain system and expels it out of the home to keep the area free of water. Lastly, we installed the WaterGuard Drain System which will collect water that seeps into the basement and send it to the sump pump. This drain system is installed under the floor and the concrete is restored so there is no unsightly drain. All of these products install quickly and won't interfere with future basement finishing!
Proper Discharge Line Channels Water Away From Holt, MI Home
Scott and Kathleen had a competitor install a waterproofing system in their home that had a discharge line that dispelled water into their neighbor's yard. The lack of an extended discharge line away from the home meant that expelled water traveled right back into the home through the soil surrounding the house. We installed an extended discharge line at an angle that runs between the home and the neighboring home. We also installed the IceGuard Discharge Line System which is a fitting that is placed over the top of your discharge line in the event that water needs a secondary escape route. This prevents it from freezing.
Egress Window Replaces Tiny, Unattractive Basement Window in Holt, MI
Jeffrey was hoping to get a replacement for his current tiny basement window that wasn't doing him any favors. He called up Ayers and expressed his interest in our Egress Windows. These make a great addition to your basement as they are much larger which opens up the space with more natural light able to shine through. These are waterproof windows with an exterior well built around it to ensure water doesn't leak into his basement. The best advantage is its safety factor since Egress Windows provide a safe exit in the event an emergency takes place. Jeffrey was very pleased with the finished look these windows gave his basement!
Foundation Wall Crack Sealed, Waterproofed In Mishawaka, IN
This wall crack had been plaguing this basement for some time now. When it rained, water flowed through the crack and onto the basement floor. The homeowner wondered if there was anything we could do. There was. We had a simple, attractive, and economical solution. It's called FlexiSpan. We put a sealant on the crack. This is just a primary solution but its not permanent so we go a few steps further to make sure the crack never bothers the homeowner again. Next we removed some of the concrete at the base of the crack and dug out a drywell, about 3-5 gallons in size and filled that with stone. The concrete was replaced with the exception of a small gap along the wall so water could run into the drywell that we created beneath the concrete. In cases like this with a nearby sump pump, we may also create hole in the side of the sump well to allow the water to flow into the well and be removed from the home. Finally a thin foam layer and a strip of our durable CleanSpace material is put over the crack to conceal it. The foam allows for an easy flow of water down the wall and into the well. The problem is out of sight and out of mind and it will never puddle on the floor again.

Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out. Therefore, cold air won't be drifting around their house anymore.
