Willis MI – Excessive Mold and Basement Waterproofing

This basement was located on Burton Rd. in Willis Michigan. This was one of the worst basements we have ever come across. The basement was flooded and had 7″ of standing water in it, and unfortnately it had been this way for quite some time. The front wall had collapsed leaving the rest of the walls in a compromised condition.

Due to the amount of time that the basement had been exposed to water, there was excessive mold growth to the point that the customer didn’t believe the basement could be fixed and kept dry. Thinking it was a lost cause, the homeowner had been considering having the basement filled in with soil and making it into a crawlspace. Instead of turning it into a crawlspace, we aimed to do a complete basement waterproofing and wall repair.

    Keep in mind that in Michigan, the life expectancy of the original basement waterproofing system is typically around 25-50 years. This sounds like a long time, but most homes are at least that old and so there is a chance that a waterproofing problem may show up before you know it.

    Foundation problems will generally get worse over time, leading to more expensive and intense repairs down the road. It’s not uncommon for there to be early signs of trouble, but if the signs are missed or ignored it will likely become a much bigger problem down the road.

    Very few basement repair companies have the ability to engineer and design the right solution for your home. Our engineering talent is one of the main things that sets us apart from other foundation companies. For this home in Willis, we were able to develop a plan, bring in the equipment and make the repairs needed to turn this basement around!

    After the job was completed, the homeowner Mrs. Gagnon said she is going to refer us to everyone she knows! She said this was a scary situation and didn’t know who to trust. Along with this, she was very happy she picked the right company to do the work and that all our guys worked extremely hard.
