BrightWall Panels Complete an Egress Project in Greenville, MI

We received a call from these Greenville, MI customers less than a year after they installed a new Egress window into their basement. While the window had been installed correctly, whoever handled the installation hadn’t taken the necessary steps to prevent future complications. Water was seeping through the blocks whenever it rained heavily and leaking down to the floor, damaging the block walls along the way. Since looking at water damaged walls day in and out can grow a bit tiring, the couple gave us a call, hoping for something a bit more appealing.

Our Brightwall panels were attached over the block walls. The real benefit of BrightWall panels – besides not being an eyesore – is that they allow for drainage behind them. If water continues to leak through the stone walls, it won’t damage or grow mold on the rigid plastic panels. Instead, the water will flow down the stones and into the perimeter drainage system (pictured in the after photo) that the crew installed. Things are looking a whole lot brighter for this Greenville, MI home.

Note: The after photo is not the completed project. Concrete was poured to cover the drainage system at the bottom of the picture.
