Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: FlexiSpan Helps Seal Basement From Leakage in Ada, MI

Our customer, Donald was looking to fix an existing wall crack in his basement that was causing some leakage during rain fall. When the soil around your house is filled with water, even the smallest crack will let water into your basement. To fix this, we are going to install a flexible sealant to hold the crack together as well as drain and prevent any future leakage.

Here Is An Old Solution

It is common to use plywood plus store bought sealant to fill cracks in. As you can see, this doesn't always work out the way it should.

Start By Sealing

Applied sealant to the cracks and surrounding areas of the wall allow for prevention of leaking through the sides of the area.

Applied FlexiSpan Layer And Drilling Of Drywell

Here is the applied FlexiSpan layer on top of our newly dug out dry well.

Why Dig A Dry Well?

Dry wells are used to capture and hold any water that may somehow make its way into this newly sealed basement. It allows the FlexiSpan Layer to channel any liquid into this new area, and not into your nice basement.
