Before & After Photos

A falling crawl space is never a good thing. That's why this Elk Rapids customer gave us a call. After a free and professional inspection, we determined that the use of our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer was necessary to support this crawl space. SmartJack provides supplemental support to crawl spaces and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position. No need to worry about this crawl space any longer!

Water was entering Mecca’s basement so she called our team. We replaced her old window with an egress window. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Looking to totally seal his crawl space, Kyle called our team. So in order to prevent air flow from his crawl space to the rest of his home, our team insulated his rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. With airtight insulation there is a reduction in heat loss.

The homeowners in Albion, MI had a vertical crack on one of their basement walls going from ceiling to floor. When it rained, water would leak through the crack, get into their basement, and puddle on the floor. Foundation wall cracks can be a sign of structural issues so it is best to get the crack repaired right when you notice it is there to prevent serious, more costly damage. 

To fix this vertical wall crack, our professional team installed FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan is a three part process beginning with flexible sealant being applied along the length of the crack. The second step is to put a a strip of flexible and porous foam over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. FlexiSpan invisibly moves water seepage from the crack down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan system is not affected by slight movements in the basement wall meaning it works under all conditions. 

In the before picture you can see the vertical cracking on the basement wall and in the after picture you can see the FlexiSpan installed over the crack and fixing the wall.  

These Albion homeowners have had this home for about 3 weeks and have noticed there is water in one of the rooms in the basement. The partially finished basement has even had some standing water in the room where the water is leaking in. To waterproof the home we used the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain and the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The WaterGuard collects the water that seeps in through the foundation and sends it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection in case of a power outage and gives the homeowners a peace of mind.
