Beaverton, MI Crawl Space Gets Insulation and a Full Encapsulation

These Beaverton, MI customers called because they were interested in crawl space insulation and an encapsulation. As you can see in the before photo, they already had a system in place, but sadly, it wasn’t getting the job done. Many use plastic tarps like these to encapsulate their crawl spaces. The problem is they’re not guaranteed to keep water out, at least, not like our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is impenetrable by moisture.

Seen in the after photo, the liner covers the entire dirt floor, one of the most common places for moisture to enter crawl spaces. To give the customers the insulation they were looking for, the crew also installed the silver wall panels in the after photo. These panels are referred to as our SilverGlo Wall Insulation. The silver surface reflects heat back to its source, just like the radiant barriers placed behind car windshields. With these two systems in place, this crawl space is now protected from moisture and abnormal temperatures. 

Bowing In Beaverton, MI Foundation Wall Prevented With CarbornArmor

The owners of this Beaverton, MI home were looking to sell the house. The buyer's inspection turned up some foundation wall cracks that they wanted addressed. We were well equipped to handle the problem so that the sale could continue as planned. We installed a series of 7 CarbonArmor straps. These straps are low profile with a 7 inch width and they're incredibly strong. CarbonArmor straps are stronger than concrete and they're 10 times stronger than steel. These fully epoxied carbon fiber straps prevent any bowing in the wall. ArmorLock anchor systems at the top of the straps help to prevent any inward movement at the top of the wall. Most carbon fiber systems like these don't offer that same level of protection making them one of the most reliable carbon fiber systems on the market. Now the sale of this home can continue as originally planned.

CarbonArmor Rescues Cracked Wall in Beaverton, MI

Tim M. from Grand Rapids, MI had lived with a stair step crack in his basement wall for 14 years before reaching out for our help. This type of crack poses a serious threat to the structural integrity of the home, and thankfully, we had a solution to this problem.

We installed our patented CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system for this job. CarbonArmor uses the same technology as the Army Corps of Engineers designed to reinforce bomb shelters to stabilize your basement walls. The system consists of fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times as strong as steel, maximizing the utility of the product. And as a bonus, no excavation is needed.
