Douglas, MI's Skilled Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

Preparing for a Sale with CleanSpace in Douglas, MI

This homeowner was in the process of selling his house when he noticed standing water and a leak in his crawl space. Our system design specialist took a trip out to Douglas, MI to see what kind of help we could provide.

After hearing the possible options, the owner decided on a full crawl space encapsulation. The white liner seen in the after photo is CleanSpace, a plastic vapor barrier used for encapsulation. Used on both the walls and floor, the barrier will prevent moisture, humidity, and other common crawl space threats from entering. Underneath the liner is a drainage matting, which will be used to address the issue of standing water in the crawl space. The matting will keep water from puddling and direct flow to the newly installed SmartSump pump for discharge. A new fully protected crawl space should make selling this home much easier.

Uneven Floors in Douglas, MI Cottage

This family cottage sits right on the beach and they wanted to make sure their beloved cottage was going to last another 100 years, for generations to come. The homeowners noticed the floor was starting to sink and were not level throughout the home and most of the windows and doors were sticking, all signs that the foundation is settling. 

We were able to fix the settling floors and sticking windows and doors by installing out SmartJack crawl space stabilizers. The SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel so they won't rust and will remain solid for years to come. These jacks can withhold more than 60,000 pounds. This is more than enough to transfer the weight of your home to the SmartJacks, leaving you with a level floor.
