Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Princeton, IN noticed their floor was starting to sag in certain areas. They didn't want to take the chance of the problem becoming even bigger so they decided to give Healthy Spaces a call.

Our Design Specialist was quickly able to find the problem and designed a plan for this homeowner to fix their floors. Crawl spaces can experience structural sagging due to rot-weakened joists, girders, or posts. In this case, you can see the floor joist shows signs of compression due to the weight of the home - and too few support posts. 

Healthy Spaces installed 4 SmartJack's, which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. A benefit to installing a SmartJack system is that they are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. it can also support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 lbs.

Sharon B. of Princeton, IN, had a damp, wet, leaking crawl space that could not keep water and moisture out. Sharon needed a solution in order to keep her crawl space dry, mold-free, and would save her money on her electric bill.

Healthy Spaces installed a system that would keep her crawl space dry and mold free. We installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation wall panels, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, an EZ Flow Drain which will direct water to the SmartSump pump system. Outside Healthy Spaces installed IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line.

Most crawlspaces have an entry like this.  A large open space that allows all sorts of undesirable stuff inside--critters, moisture, mold, and more.  The solution that commonly occurs is haphazard at best.  Plywood covering the entrance quickly warps and molds.  Leaving the entrance uncovered is an invitation for an infestation.  Blocking the entrance permenantly isn't possible either.

The team at Healthy Spaces installed an Everlast Crawlspace Door, which is constructed of rigid, durable plastic that won't discolor, warp, or mold.  It sits flush to the entrance, which prevents water intrusion.  In addition to the Everlast door, the team installed a new access well, which will further protect the crawlspace from entryway flooding.  

Check out this transformation! Before, these Fort Branch, IN homeowners had an open sump hole which was allowing moisture into their basement. On top of that problem, they were also having problems with their sump pump working correctly, especially during heavy rains and storms. 

With the help of System Design Specialist, Scott Schaum, they have an upgraded TripleSafe Sump Pump system to keep their home healthy. With this sump pump, they essentially have three sump pumps in one sump liner. They now also have an airtight sump lid to prevent water from evaporating into the basement and debris from clogging it. It also has a pump alarm to alert you if your sump pump had failed and your basement was in danger of being flooded. A backup battery is included as well. It kicks in if the power goes out, which is perfect for a big storm with heavy rains and other emergencies.

This Newburgh, IN home was experiencing regular crawlspace flooding due to the high water table in the area. The homeowners knew that simply installing a vapor barrier was not sufficient--they had two previous vapor barriers fail. They also needed a state of the art, energy efficient, durable sump pump system to remove ground water from below the vapor barrier.

The homeowners met with Healthy Spaces to discuss having their crawlspace encapsulated and waterproofed. The most efficient sump pump for their needs was a SuperSump--a Zoeller sump pump with some very important features contributing to its longevity. For example, the SuperSump has an airtight lid that will isolate the encapsulated crawlspace from the water in the sump basket. There is also a WaterWatch alarm in the sump pump lid, which will alert the homeowners if the pump becomes overwhelmed.
