Basement Waterproofing - Water damage can have a major impact on your home or business. It only takes a little bit of water to cause major water damage. That damage can lead to a whole host of structural issues for your building & air quality issues in your home.
Foundation Repair - The most common cause of foundation damage boils down to unstable soil conditions causing structures to shift. Whether that’s because of high moisture content or poor soil conditions, this movement throws off the weight distribution of your home, causing potentially catastrophic damage.
Crawlspace Repair - Much of the air you breathe comes from your crawlspace. By reducing moisture, soil gases & mold/mildew you will be improving the overall air quality in your home.

We’ve talked about a phenomenon known as the “Stack Effect” on here before, but essentially what it means for a homeowner is that as warm air rises, cool air from your crawlspace is sucked up into the living areas of your home. The result of this and other factors, means a significant amount of the air that you’re breathing in your home is actually originating from your crawlspace. By reducing moisture, soil gases, mold, mildew and improving the overall air quality in your crawlspace, the air you breathe in your home will be cleaner and healthier.
Untreated and unencapsulated crawlspaces are considerably more likely to have excess moisture, which leads to mold growth. Molds produce allergens, irritants, and other potentially toxic substances. Without moisture, mold will be unable to grow to harmful levels. Encapsulating your crawlspace is best step you can take to reduce or eliminate that potential for mold growth in your crawlspace.
This particular home was located in Marysville, in beautiful St. Clair County Michigan! The couple that owns the home was having issues with musty odors, dust and overall poor air quality in their home, so they asked us if we could come take a look. After assessing the situation, it was clear that the condition of their crawlspace was contributing to the respiratory issues that they were experiencing.
Compared to homes in other Michigan counties, St. Clair County with its proximity to the St. Clair River has some areas with a moderate flood risk. With this risk comes the need to be proactive in protecting your home from excessive moisture entry, including into basements and crawlspaces. More about the flood risk in St. Clair County, and Marysville in particular can be found here.
Due to this, we knew that they needed crawlspace encapsulation to be able to withstand the high water levels that will often occur in the area, to ensure that moisture wouldn't continue to contaminate the crawlspace.
We ended up removing all of the contaminated debris that was in their crawlspace, graded the existing soil, and encapsulated the crawlspace walls and floor with our MoistureShield™ Liner. We also permanently sealed the foundation vents, and conditioned the crawlspace air by installing a vent in their existing HVAC system. The crawlspace now looks clean and beautiful, and is healthier than ever before.
