Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The crack in this was a likely point of entry for water in the basement. It would be easy to go to the hardware store and fix the crack yourself, with mortar or adhesive, but it’s very likely this solution wouldn’t last long, especially if the crack were ever to expand. FlexiSpan crack repair is a warranted repair system that seals the crack in three steps. First, a flexible sealant is applied along the crack, and then porous foam is applied over it. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied over the foam, allowing any water that may come through the crack to be caught by the drainage system along the floor. The flexible material of FlexiSpan means the repair covering won’t crack if the walls move in the future. This specially designed system puts a stop to wall leaks, preventing a basement full of water.

A customer had water leaking into her basement which was causing her carpets to get wet and mold to grow in her basement. She called our team and so we installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. This system can handle high pumping demands better than normal sump pumps. In addition, it will alert you when water levels are too high and has an airtight lid to prevent any unwanted moisture or pests from entering.

The homeowners in Hudsonville, MI had water coming into their crawl space. The water was putting way to much moisture in the area and was causing mold to grow. Having a lot of moisture in your crawl space increases your energy bills, is more inviting to unwanted pests, and facilitates mold growth. 

To combat this moisture our professional team installed our SmartSump sump pump. The SmartSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces to help reduce moisture, remove water and prevent flooding. The SmartSump has a unique sump pump cover design, so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first, sounding a WaterWatch alarm that will let you know there is a plumbing leak. From there, the water flows down a special airtight floor drain that will let the water down, but damp air cannot come up into your crawl space. The WaterWatch sump pump alarm also alerts you to pump failure for any reason, including power outages. 

Thanks to the SmartSump the homeowners crawl space is now clean and dry! 

This home had cracks showing on the outside retaining walls that were attached to the foundation walls. This had been going on for a few years but was starting to become more serious as some of the bricks were shifting. We sent a system design specialist out to check out the cracks and offer their best advice and solution to the ongoing problem. Both the home owner and specialist agreed on installing Wall Anchors to stabilize the cracking retaining walls. 

GeoLock Wall Anchors are connected to earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out away from the foundation. The most unique benefit to Wall Anchors is their ability to be tightened over time which gives the wall the best chance at straightening back to its original position. Wall anchors can fix very severe bowing and leaning walls. They also solve the problem once and for all so no more worrying about your weakening foundation.

Our customer called in need of an egress window installation, with a few caveats. He had already dug the hole, and the window needed to be as big as possible while remaining centered between electrical wiring and duct work. We installed a custom size egress window and well.
