Before & After Photos

With the concrete moved away, the WaterGuard set in and the drainage stone laid down, the final step is to cover the system with a new layer of cement. The cement will cure and the basement will look good as new, but with one difference: no more unwanted water.

The before photo shows one of the multiple large cracks in the storage area of this basement. All of the cracks reached from the floor to ceiling, so the owner naturally related the moisture presence in the basement to the leaks. In the after photo, you can see the solution to the cracks. The crew needed to cover 3 different cracks with the FlexiSpan System. FlexiSpan is a two-layer polymer that will plug the leaks and provide a route for any seepage that does occur. The final destination for that seepage is also seen in the after photo. Below the freshly poured concrete rests a drain well that will escort water permanently out of the basement. 

After nearly 8 years in their Zeeland, Michigan home, Laurie and Vern decided they wanted more space. What better place to add one than their finished basement! To bring the room up to code compliant, the couple enlisted our help. Our systems design specialists replaced their old, useless window with a functional egress window. The new window not only makes their new bedroom code compliant, but it also supplies fresh air and natural lighting!

These homeowners had a sump pump failure leading to some basement flooding in a carpeted area. They decided that it was time to get rid of the carpet and find another flooring option that would work well in a potentially wet space. That's when they contacted us about our MillCreek Wood Laminate Flooring. Made from 100% inorganic materials, they are completely waterproof and will never mold or be harmed by water. They also are designed to add a thermal break between the surface that you're stepping on and the cold concrete below. This helps to make the floor and entire room a little bit warmer and more enjoyable. Mahogany wood laminate was installed in this basement living area and it looks fantastic. These homeowners won't ever have to worry about ruined flooring with pump failures. This is a solution that they can be confident in.

A customer needed an egress window to complete the room in her finished basement. So she called our team and we installed an egress window. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows usually offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. However, egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. Also, egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition, these windows provide lots of natural light.
