Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

Homeowner Chris S. had reoccurring water problems in his basement, but couldn't figure out why. He had a sump pump to get the water out, but it wasn't doing its job. He tried every solution he thought was possible, but every time it rained he found himself worrying about his basement. In the before photo, you can see that his sump pump didn't have a lid. It is very important to have an airtight sump lid to prevent water from evaporating into your basement. A lid is also important to stop stuff from falling into the sump and clogging it.

For this homeowner, our design specialist installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump system to keep the basement dry. This sump pump includes an airtight lid, a floor drain, a pump stand, and a pump alarm. The alarm lets homeowners know if their pump has failed and they're in danger of being flooded. The water that enters through the sump pump will then be discharged through 2 lines from the basement and away from the home. 

This Cynthiana, IN homeowner wanted to make her basement a liveable area of her home. With one of their children moving home from college, they needed to make the basement bedroom up to code and a safe place to be. The window that was currently in the room wouldn't be easily accessible if a fire occurred, so they gave Healthy Spaces a call.

The solution was a new Egress basement window customized by one of our System Design Specialist to fit the area. The new basement window is a double thermopane Low-E glass insulates the space, while the attractive frame survives for years without rotting or needing paint. From here, the homeowner installed a RockWell Window Well to add beauty to your finished basement while also achieving compliance with local safety codes for emergency escape. Its stylish, all-natural look durable clear cover invites natural sunlight to flow into the basement while also providing an open, comfortable feel.

Contractor in Owensville, IN was working with the owner of a commercial building. After doing an inspection of the crawl space, he saw some major concerns that were outside his scope of work. He called Healthy Spaces to get set up for a free inspection, together they all devised a plan to ensure the crawl space problems were fixed permanently!

In the before photo, you can actually see where one of the concrete columns is leaning to the right. Additional problems we found, the crawl space jacks had no support, with mainly concrete blocks and pieces of wood "shimmied" in between the open gaps. Our foundation installers first needed to replace some of the damaged supplemental beam and joist repair before installing 8 SmartJacks in the crawl space. SmartJacks are used to permanently stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. They do not replace the existing columns and piers but add strength and stability to what is there. 

If you'd like a permanent solution for your crawl space issues or any other foundation problem, we're ready to help you!

Homeowners Roger and Zelda H. from Calhoun, Kentucky were experiencing water flooding into their basement with rains. As time went on, the problem got worse. They constantly had fans running in hopes of keeping the water under control. With the problem worsening, they decided to call for help.

System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to the rescue! He inspected the basement and presented them with a same-day quote before he left. The homeowners agree to have the work done and they got their project scheduled. They were starting with a WaterGuard system that wraps around the perimeter of the basement and takes water directly to the sump pump. They also added CleanSpace on the walls to protect mold growth and well as water. This gives it a nice clean finish without ever having to worry about wet drywall again.

The homeowners are thrilled with how this project turned out and aren't dreading the next rainfall.

When there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. This was exactly the case our homeowner in Calhoun, KY was experiencing! Healthy Spaces installed two EverLast Basement Windows, which are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low E glass, they are much more energy-efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. If you have rotting, outdated steel, and wood-framed basement windows, give Healthy Spaces a call today for your free inspection!
