The Best Crawl Space & Foundation Repair Company in Buchanan, MI

A homeowner in Buchanan, MI, reached out for help after their basement had flooded twice in the last six months. They had also faced a mouse problem, leading to the removal of insulation and a need for a thorough cleanup. The customer was eager to resolve the flooding issues and protect their basement from future damage. Referred by their uncle, who was highly satisfied with our work, they trusted us to deliver a solution.

To address these issues, we installed our WaterGuard drainage system to capture incoming water and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This powerful system, with backup pumps for added security, ensures continuous water removal during storms or power outages. Along with preventing future flooding, the dry, protected space will help deter unwanted critters from returning to the basement, providing peace of mind for the homeowner.

Mr. and Mrs. Nordman take pride in their home and every structure on their lot. Having an emergency shelter can come in handy but sharing it with mold and mice can become a major stressor. Our foreman Bruce noticed that with a damp and weakening crawl space, there's little that the structure could shelter from. Mrs. Nordman's biggest fear came true when discovering that the shelter crawl space was providing a foster home for dangerous organisms like mold spores.

The simple and effective remedy our team took to give the Nordmans peace of mind was a multistep process that strips the environment of moisture, reinforces the supports, and ensures no future build-up takes place.

After removing the infected insulation, a heavy-duty dehumidifier dries the air and robs potential spores of a food source. After, a system of insulation was added to the Rim Joists and was placed at strategic locations to prevent new sources of moisture. The final touch is a CleanSpace Lining that covers the surface area of the crawl space. Besides providing a sterile environment, the lining provides a clean look to your crawl space and the security every homeowner deserves.  

Lynn E. contacted us because his back patio was starting to sink. The issue was causing water to leak into the basement through a crack in the poured concrete wall.

To deal with the crack in the wall, we installed the FlexiSpan wall system. This system used a drainage grate in the ground to accommodate intruding water and a specialized material that sealed the crack and was able to move with the wall as it shifted to prevent the crack from growing or spreading.

To raise the settled patio, we installed the PolyLevel system. Multiple holes were drilled into the concrete slab and were then injected with specialized polymers that expanded to permanently lift the slab back to its original position.

This Buchanan, MI home had a bowed wall that the homeowner attempted to fix in the past, but the problem still persisted. The wall had a stair-step crack, which is a common sign of wall failure in a home with block wall foundation. Our team of experts had a solution that would permanently stabilize the wall, prevent it from shifting any further, and could potentially move the wall back to its original position.

This effective solution is called the PowerBrace system, which uses steel I-beams to stabilize the bowing wall with minimal disruption to the home. The beams were installed directly against the bowing wall and were secured in flooring at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. We also reinforced the joists to alleviate some of the pressure on the wall brought on by the house and its belongings. The system can also be tightened over time to potentially help the wall shift back to its original position.
