Cleaning a Niles, MI Basement Window

Over time, basement windows can collect dirt and debris. If you have a window like this, a SunHouse Window Well could protect your basement from future damage. This cover fights against any leaks from rain and snow, small pests and rodents getting to your window, and ensures your window stays clear allowing sunlight to enter your basement. 

Cleaning a Flooded Crawl Space in Niles MI

David called us because he was getting water in his crawl space. He told us it had flooded last year and the insulation had fallen. The furnace, water heater, and water softener are all in the crawl space so he wanted a solution to prevent further damage. 

We laid down drainage matting to keep water from getting stuck under the CleanSpace liner. If water was caught under the liner, it would never drain. The drainage matting has raised dimples in it to allow channels for the water to flow through under the liner. The matting also directs the flooding water to the sump pump system where it will be expelled from the crawl space.

We then installed CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. This is a thick, durable liner that keeps water vapor and humidity from getting into the crawl space. The liner keeps the area dry and protects from mold and rotting. 

We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that provides three levels of protection. If the pump on the bottom level fails, a second more powerful pump is a little higher that takes over. In case of the second pump failing or you lose power, the highest level is a UltraSump Battery Backup Sump Pump that will take over. This is a great solution for homeowners who may have problems with water in the crawl space or basement. 

We also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to dry and filter the air in the crawl space. This helps to keep the crawl space clean and mold free. It is small in size so you don't have to worry about a bulky, loud humidifier and it is costs less to run!
