Waterproofing your basement is not just about keeping it dry; it’s about protecting your home’s foundation, increasing its value, and providing long-term peace of mind. In Southeastern Michigan, where weather conditions can often lead to moisture build-up, Ameribilt Construction offers expert waterproofing services designed to safeguard your basement. Here’s a detailed look at how we handle the process.
Step 1: Protecting Your Home Before any work begins, our team ensures that your home is fully protected. We safeguard all flooring and furniture in the work area, taking precautions to prevent dust from spreading to other parts of your house. Additionally, appliances and the water heater along the walls are disconnected to avoid damage.
Step 2: Prepping the Space If there are any framed walls along the basement perimeter, they will be demolished as needed. This step ensures that we have proper access to the areas where waterproofing systems need to be installed.
Step 3: Drainage Installation Once the space is prepped, we begin by breaking the concrete along the perimeter of the basement. This allows us to haul away dirt and create space for installing a high-efficiency drain system. The system is then surrounded by stone, ensuring proper water flow and preventing clogging.
Step 4: Sump Pump Installation The heart of any good waterproofing system is the sump pump. After digging and installing the sump pump basin, we pour fresh concrete over the trench. This ensures that the system remains secure and out of sight, while also maintaining a clean look in your basement.
Step 5: Thermal Wall Covers & Backup System To ensure maximum protection, we install thermal wall covers that act as both an insulator and a moisture barrier. Additionally, we equip your sump pump with a battery backup system, providing an extra layer of security in case of power outages—common during storms in Michigan.
Step 6: Exterior Discharge Finally, the water collected by the sump pump is discharged safely outside the home. Our exterior sump pump discharge system ensures that the water is diverted away from your foundation, preventing any future issues with moisture build-up or flooding.
Conclusion: Ameribilt Construction prides itself on providing top-notch basement waterproofing services tailored to the specific needs of homes in Southeastern Michigan. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that your basement remains dry, secure, and functional for years to come.
