Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Bowing Walls in Saint Joseph, MI

Lauren noticed curves in her basement walls and wanted the unsightly bowing gone when water was entering from the bottom. She contacted Ayers and had our resident foreman Blade inspect the area and draft a treatment plan. Blade prescribed Carbon Armor to help hold and pull the walls back into place. Blade also treated the home with a dehumidifier and lined the area with CleanSpace to prevent future damage.

CarbonArmor

CarbonArmor permanently stabilizes foundational walls. Using a fiber-reinforcement polymer, which is as strong as steel yet 10 times more flexible, the strips adhere to the wall and stiffen over time. CarbonArmor works best when the problem is caught early, and sadly does not seal away water.

Dehumidifier

Moisture in the air is a major risk to the home. Moisture can invite micro-organisms into the home that consume organic materials like the wood found in most homes' Support works. This process weakens the home's integrity risking the safety of the home. Moisture also invites mold spores that can risk the occupants' health directly as well as indirectly.
