Before & After Photos

After a recent rain, this family noticed an area of the wall became damp. The family cut out a piece of drywall and noticed the cracks in their concrete wall. Inevitably, concrete walls will move and begin to crack. We used FlexiSpan to solve this problem. FlexiSpan is used to seals cracks in the wall, it is engineered with a backup strategy in case the first seal fails. FlexiSpan is made of a flexible material, as its name implies, so it will move with wall keeping your basement dry.

The insulation in Brenda's crawl space was falling due to water intrusion. A poorly insulated crawl space can cause many problems, but mostly it increases your heating and cooling bills. In order to insulate her crawl space, our team insulated her rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. Brenda will no longer have to worry about her crawl space being poorly insulated.

Water was coming into Justin and Kimberly’s home through their basement floor. Water continued to seep in no matter what they tried, so they called our team. We installed ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in their home. Made completely from inorganic material, this flooring is not vulnerable to mold or water damage. In addition, this flooring works perfectly with our waterproofing systems. Lastly, it will allow Justin and Kimberly to have nice wood flooring in their basement without having to worry about it being ruined by water damage.

Are your floors always the wrong temperature? Cold in the winter and hot in the summer? If your crawl space isn't properly insulated, it might be the culprit as air from the crawl space rises and defeats all of the hard work your heating and cooling system is doing.

By encapsulating your crawl space with CleanSpace and SilverGlo insulation, you can not only protect the crawl space from ambient groundwater, you can also make the home above it more comfortable and save money on heating and cooling costs.

This Battle Creek, MI homeowner was interested in a replacement basement window. The standard basement window is a small rectangle occasionally equipped with an aluminum or metal well encasement. Windows like these work well in most basements because lighting usually isn’t a huge factor, but when homeowners go through the effort of finishing their basement they prefer to be able to see it. At least that was this homeowner’s viewpoint.

To replace the original window, the team had to excavate the soil around the well and recut a larger hole into the wall. Our egress windows are vinyl framed and designed to never rust or decay like steel or wood-framed basement windows. The wells are the same way. Being made from plastic instead of metal means the well will keep the new window protected from a variety of elements without ever needing another replacement. As you can see in the after photo, the new well was installed with a cover on top and deeper into the ground than the previous unit. The cover allows light to reach the basement, but the homeowner will never have to worry about water getting in and ruining his window or walls. The one-day installation finished up just in time for the owner to enjoy the summer sun shining in through his new basement window.
