Before & After Photos

Kyle noticed that he had water damage in his basment on the walls and on the floor. He wasn't sure where the water was coming from or what to do about it so he gave us a call to help him find a solution. We installed WaterGuard which is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab. This drain collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. We also installed the SaniDry to keep the basement dry. SaniDry has a powerful blowing motor that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space, drying out your basement or crawl space. Collected water can be drained into a sump pump pit, a section of your perimeter drain, or away via a condensation pump. This dehumidifier is super efficient and has a small size so it doesn't take up much space in your basement.

This family has been in this home for years and just recently noticed water issues in the finished basement. Patrick had to rip out drywall and suck up water with a shop vac that was collecting about 20 gallons of water each day. They knew they needed a solution fast so they called us. We installed the WaerGuard which consists of a French drain that works with your sump pump to keep your space dry. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The drain collects the water that is leaking into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged outside of the home.

These new homeowners quickly discovered mold and moisture near their egress window, caused by a cracked retaining wall and poor drainage. To solve the issue, we installed a durable RockWell Egress Window Cover with a tan lid designed to match seamlessly. This solution protects the area from water intrusion, enhances safety, and keeps their basement bright and welcoming. Their egress window is now secure, stylish, and ready for years of use.

Our customer called with a sinking house - but only the part over the crawl space. Which means the crawl space is the problem. Upon inspection, we found inadequate support beams and support posts, which explains the sinking and unlevel floors in the home. 

We stabilized the crawl space with SmartJack crawl space support posts as well as steel beams to reinforce the wooden support beams. With all of the added support, the crawl space should no longer be a problem and the home above it will be safe and level.

In order to get fully waterproofed, this home in Grant, MI needed our WaterGuard installed. WaterGuard is a french drain system that sits below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing. What this does is keep the drainage system out of the dreaded "mud zone", where drains are susceptable to clogging.

As you can see, WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to fully maximize its effectiveness. It's also installed with minimal invasion to the slab, and once the project is complete, new concrete is layed over the drain, making it practically invisible to you or any guests in your home. The WaterGuard also has a drain outlet directly to the sump pump and will not cause any damage to the foundation.

It's extremely important for every homeowner to have a proper drainage system in their basement, especially around this area with all of the rain and snow that we get. Thanks to WaterGuard, this Grant, MI home now has a clog-free drainage system that will help keep their basement dry all year round.
