For most homeowners, the state of the crawlspace under the home is an afterthought. However, a moist, filthy crawlspace is breeding ground for mold and bacteria, not to mention a haven for rodents and snakes. Ignoring your crawl space could pose a more serious threat to your health if there is radon gas. Waterproofing your crawl space is an effective way to protect your home. It can also transform a wet, nasty space you wouldn't go near- let alone inside- into a healthy, dry, usable space you didn't have before.

There are many reasons your foundation could be in need of repair. As with any piece of your home, age can certainly play a role. If a foundation has not been repaired or serviced for quite some time, natural wear can occur. As the ground shifts, or over many harsh winters, your foundation can lose some of its strength and stability. Unfortunately, as your foundation goes through changes and begins to deteriorate, the rest of your house can too. Interior walls can begin to separate from each other, gaps appear in windows that weren't there only a few years ago.

Sump pumps are a key component in ensuring that your basement remains safe and dry. Even the smallest of standing water, say an inch, can result in the majority of your basement's contents being destroyed, especially if you have stuff in containers that are not waterproof or not made of water-resistant materials; ie: clothes, furniture, cardboard boxes, appliances etc. Luckily, Michigan Basements has services to ensure you won't have to experience water accumulation in your basement any further.

The bottom line: when it comes to your basement, no amount moisture is ok.

Your crawl space is an ideal environment for mold: it's dark, cool and damp. If you do not take steps to protect this vulnerable area, mold and eventually rot could take over. In contrast to only encapsulating your crawl space, vapor barriers act as walls to keep moisture from penetrating into the area. A vapor barrier is a 90-millimeter liner that is used to seal off and protect your crawl space from the potential of mold to grow and reproduce. As we've mentioned, mold is a volatile spore that can cause your family to fall ill, the structural integrity of your house to be compromised, and produces an unpleasant mildew odor.

Many Benefits Can Come from Hiring Our Basement Waterproofing Company! A damp basement is a serious problem. The presence of constant moisture makes it a breeding ground for mold and even structural damage. Waterproofing your basement is an excellent way to preserve your health and your home. Mold does not need a large puddle of standing water to start forming. In fact, it only needs mild temperatures, some humidity in the air, and a food source. The average basement is filled with food sources ranging from the paint on cinder blocks to cardboard storage boxes.
