Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Michigan Basement Waterproofing in Piqua, Ohio
Michigan basements usually have stone walls, a dirt floor, and a shallow ceiling. Michigan style basements are typically found in older farm-styled homes, like this one that was built in 1880. Typically used for storage or shelter, they often contain lots of moisture. In order to update this basement to current living standards, we decided to waterproof it and encapsulate it to keep it dry as can be. By covering the entire space with our CleanSpace liner, and by waterproofing the space with a sump pump and a dehumidifier, we were able to effectively turn the dirty wet space into a dry clean space. No longer can moisture cause musty smells, rusted appliances, or rotting wood. Be sure to scroll through the photos to learn more!
Sump Pump
This sump pump is equipped with a battery backup in case power outage were to occur.
Vapor Barrier
Our CleanSpace helps block out moisture and will help keep these utilities and appliances clean and safe.
Dry Basement
Our CleanSpace is sealed at all the seams with tape and buttons to ensure it is secured.
Durable Vapor Barrier
Our CleanSpace is very durable and won't easily rip, similar to a pool liner. Walking on it is easily achieved.

This project will also help protect the wooden stairs and floor joists from rot.
Musty Basement
With a dirt floor and leaky stone walls, this basement was due for an upgrade to keep up with modern times.
