This customer wanted to make their home safer so their family can live in the home for another 10 years. When we inspected, we found the house was taking on a lot of water due to the clay bowl effect. This was causing water to come inside and push their walls in, causing their home to sink. It also created gaps in the rim joists, allowing air to come in. Not only were they experiencing a wet basement, but their air quality and the structural integrity of their home were also being affected.
There are a multitude of issues going on in this home, which requires a lot of solutions. The first thing we did was install our EverBrace Wall System to help permanently support their walls and prevent them from caving in. Next, we installed a product called SilverGlow. This will help insulate and fix the gaps in the rim joists. We also installed a dehumidifier to regulate the moisture and improve the air quality. Next up, we waterproofed the basement, which is what you can see in the images above. We installed a interior drainage system to direct water to a sump pump, buried the downspouts, and installed a vapor barrier.
This homeowner called Midwest Foundation Repair to inspect a problem they have when it rains, a leaking basement. Water would seep in through the cinder block walls during the rainy season. The production team installed an interior waterproofing system and then placed clean space on the walls. In the after photo, you can see the clean space on the walls and wet concrete that needs to cure. Once cured the homeowner will have a dry basement, our warranties are transferrable to the new homeowner if they choose to ever move. Midwest Care Club is recommended, so annually the system can be flushed out and cleaned by a trained service tech.
Wet basements cause health, safety, and home resale problems. Luckily, it can be transformed with CleanSpace encapsulation system. It's a durable, plastic liner designed to permanently prevent moisture in your home.
This customer was getting water in his basement and wanted to protect his home's resale value. When we inspected, we found that hydrostatic pressure had been putting a lot of pressure on his foundation walls for years. So much so that water started leaking through the wall mortar joints and started to pool up on the floor.
To fix this issue, we installed a full perimeter drainage system and installed a sump pump system for the water to be channeled to and directed away from the home.
