We stopped posting on our Blogspot Site, some of the posts go back to the mid-2000's, these are some of the highlights.

For over 44 years Great Lakes Waterproofing has been providing one of the most exciting basement waterproofing methods for home and business owners. Using our exclusive technology we inject a waterproofing blend of bentonite (Bentogrout) into the area around the exterior basement floor and walls. In most cases this can be done from outside with nearly no damage to the existing ground cover.

Once the Bentogrout Hydroclay has saturated the ground, filled in voids and small cracks in the concrete walls, it begins to absorb water and solidify to a consistency similar to thick peanut butter, providing a permanent barrier against water. If your construction is new or you've exposed the wall we can apply benonite panels and membranes directly to the wall (and under the footings and floor if needed) giving you the best waterproofing possible, we call it Real Waterproofing, stopping water outside your basement. 

While methods such as filling cracks with mortar, applying an epoxy-base paint or a drain-tile type system help with diverting water, they all have one similar yet critical component...They still let the water through the wall before it gets stopped. The damage this causes to the wall continues as long as the water is present. Settling of the wall and mortar damage on block wall will continue requiring on-going maintenance.  Radon, mold and mildew will still be present and since your increasing the incoming water flow, you may even be making it worse.

Basement Waterproofing using all-natural bentonite has been successful in many different applications, our blog will have case studies on several of these applications and the questions we encounter from time to time.
