Coldwater, MI's Devoted Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

CleanSpace Saves a Coldwater, MI Crawl Space

The moisture on the floor of the before photo had come through the cracks in the foundation walls. It was a newly purchased cottage on a lake, so water naturally ended up flowing towards the crawl space. To block it out, the crew installed the vapor barrier in the after photo. The CleanSpace vapor barrier is impenetrable by moisture, and since it can cover both the floor and walls, there’s nowhere for water to enter the crawl space. In fact, even the piers were wrapped with the barrier. CleanSpace is also inorganic meaning that water won't have any negative effects, like mold, on it. No matter how much water comes near this cottage crawl space, it won't have any more problems.

Bowed Coldwater, MI Wall Stabilized With PowerBraces

This homeowner contacted us because he had a bowed basement wall that was worsening over time. The home was a rental property that was vacant at the time and also up for sale, so the issue needed to be fixed as soon as possible. We installed the effective PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and potentially help push it back to its proper position. We installed the steel I-Beams at the base of the wall and attached them to joists above the wall. The system was secured into place with steel brackets and once tightened, the wall was immediately stabilized. We also made sure to reinforce the joists in the home to alleviate some of the pressure that was being exerted on the failing wall.

Ayers Saves Coldwater, MI Basement from Water

A customer that lives in Coldwater, Michigan had a basement counter that was taking a besating from the outside enviornment. Water was making its way through the basement with ease. Fortunately, we had just the fix. We installed our Cleanspace technology to do the job. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. This liner should also be combined with CleanSpace vent covers to insulate and seal the air out. So, now water doesn't stand a chance to destroy this basement.
