Restore your Foundation with Basement waterproofing of Michigan
As foundations settle, damage frequently spreads to other parts of the house, including cracks in interior walls and gaps between exterior siding, windows and doors. All of your foundation issues can be solved with Basement Waterproofing of Michigan as we offer a multitude of services for your specific foundation repair needs.
My Walls Are Bowing
Bowing walls are basement or retaining walls that curve inward. In most cases, foundation walls move inward as a result of expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure from the outside. Other outside causes, such as foundation settlement, can also cause foundation walls to crack. Our experts are qualified to identify and solve the full range of foundational problems.
If you have experienced signs of these issues in your home, Basement Waterproofing of Michigan can provide you a customized quote for a warrantied and permanent solution.
I-Beams
I-Beams are a tried and true solution to address a bowing wall. Made of solid steel, I-Beams help to stabilize your foundation wall from hydrostatic and ground pressure pressing against your home. The primary causes of bowing walls are pressure, expansive clays, tree roots and frost issues.
Basement Wall Anchors
Earth anchors stabilize the wall by using stable soil outside the active wedge. Anchors have been used for decades to straighten and stabilize walls. Soil type such as cohesive and non-cohesive is one of the major factors for determining what foundation repair is best for your home.
Helical Pier System
Our Helical Pier System screws into the soil until stable soil is reached. This design provides robust support for heavier structures, such as homes and buildings.
Foundation Leaks and Crack Repair
Wall crack repairs are one of the most common sources of leaks in a basement. Cracks can form with foundation settling over time, a structural problem, or giving way to hydrostatic pressure. Wall cracks are also the most common issue that homeowners will try to fix themselves. Hydraulic cement, rubberized sprays, etc. are very temporary fixes, if they fix the issue at all. We offer injection services for wall cracks in poured concrete and I-Beam pockets that have not been previously repaired; these repairs come with a minimum 10-year transferable warranty.
If you have cracks that have previously been repaired, we offer panel crack repairs. A panel crack repair is a combination of a wall panel and drain tile that allows the crack to relieve its water pressure into a small drainage system instead of appearing in your basement. We also are able to perform this repair for customers experiencing water coming in from their chimney from the cleanout access.
Another common source of leaking are rod holes, or tie rod holes. These holes are left after removing the tie rods used to pour the walls of a concrete wall. It is also not uncommon for multiple rod holes to begin leaking simultaneously.
