Before & After Photos

As you can see in the before photo, the stone walls in this basement were having a hard time keeping water out. The leaking water would enter through the walls and then flow down to the floor where it would puddle and result in the large, dark spots in the photo. The owners planned on remodeling and finishing the basement, but as of now, all they wanted was a waterproof system that would put an end to the leaks and floor puddles.

In the after photo, you can see our solution – CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Walls. The white plastic liner is impenetrable by moisture and spreads from the top of the wall to the floor. Any water that leaks into the basement will flow behind the barrier and down the wall. But this time, instead of puddling on the floor, that water will go into a newly installed perimeter drainage system that rests in the floor and wall joint. Neither the walls or floors will show water damage again. 

Stair-step cracks in walls are a major indicator that there are foundation problems, which is what we found in this block wall basement in Lowell, MI. By installing Geo-Lock wall anchors, these steel wall plates will not only stop the foundation from any further bowing, but straighten out the walls back to an upright position over time. One plate is installed in the soil away from the wall while while the other is directly against the bowing wall. A steel rod connects the two plates which is tightened over time to continue straightening. No more foundation issues for this homeowner! 

There were many cracks in Clay’s basement walls and when it rained the water would leak into the basement. Mold even started to grow near the floor due to the water leakage. So our team installed FlexiSpan wall crack repair. FlexiSpan is a three part process that requires a flexible sealant, a flexible strip of foam and an impermeable membrane. These three items work so well because they are not affected by pressure or any more movement in the walls. So this system will provide a permanent fix to Clay's leaking walls, preventing the growth of more mold.

Uneven, sunken driveways and sidewalks can be a major hazard for homeowners. Over time concrete settlement or soil shift can occur which may cause walkways to become uneven and unsteady. Homeowners in East Leroy, MI experienced this problem as they noticed the steps to their front door were noticeably leaning to one side causing a major trip hazard. 

By drilling a small hole into the concrete, PolyLevel foam is injected underneath the surface to stabilize the foundation. The hole is patched back up and the area is ready for weight again after 15 minutes. PolyLevel is strong, waterproof, and noninvasive making it an ideal solution for homeowners dealing with this problem. The before and after pictures show the drastic difference a quick injection can make! 

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.
