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.
