Bellevue, MI Crawl Space Gets Ultimate Energy Saver

These Bellevue, MI customers called us after becoming fed up with the water issues that plagued their crawlspace. Whenever it rained, the sump pump – trying to keep up with the leakage – would constantly run. Most of the water was coming through leaks in the blocks walls or passing through the tarp that was used to cover the crawl space floor.

To give the overworked sump a much-needed rest, the system design specialist recommended that the homeowners look into our Ultimate Energy Saver package. The package includes a combination of multiple crawl space products like a vapor barrier and the SilverGlo wall insulation that are seen in the after photo. Both TerraBlock insulation and a drainage matting were included, as well, but are covered in the photo by the CleanSpace system. With the drainage matting in place, water will flow directly to the sump pump for discharge and hopefully, ease the burden. The combined effort of TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace will keep moisture from rising through the dirt floor and causing damage to the crawl space. Not to mention, the insulation that comes from TerraBlock and the SilverGlo walls will help save the house a bundle on energy utilities. The full encapsulation of the crawl space should mean the end of this family’s crawl space issues. 

BrightWall WaterProofs Bellevue, MI Basement

Here we can see the damage that large cracks can have on basement walls. It’s very common for cracks like these to appear where plumbing pipes connect and for those cracks to later spring leaks. After noticing the size of these cracks, the owner of this Bellevue, MI home became very worried about his foundation. Once the crew reinforced the wall, they got to work on waterproofing the cracks to guarantee that this type of water damage wouldn’t happen again.

To do so, they used the BrightWall Rigid Panel System. BrightWall panels can be attached in front of almost any wall with plastic drilled-in fasteners, making the installation quick and smooth. Brightwall is made of mold resistant, waterproof material so the water stains seen in the before picture won’t ever appear on the panels. Also part of the BrightWall system is a drainage area that sits at the foot of the wall. Water that leaks through the cracks will flow behind the panels and into the system for discharge. As you can see, not only did BrightWall solve the leaking issue, the white plastic proved to be the perfect component to improve the look of this unfinished basement. 

FlexiSpan Wall Repair in Bellevue, MI

The homeowners in Bellevue, MI had water leaking into their garage. The water was coming from the two back corners of the garage because of a crack in between where the walls met. Most people would think that a patching mortar or a masonry sealant would get the job done, but unfortunately, this rarely works long term because of the poor adhesion. 

Our FlexiSpan crack repair system will do the job right the first time. FlexiSpan is a three-step process. The first step is to apply a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of porous and flexible foam is installed over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane was adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan crack repair system is flexible enough to move with your wall allowing it to work under all conditions.
