Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

There are different levels of water intrusion in a basement.  Some basements just leak a little and it doesn't feel like much of a big deal.  Other basements have consistent flooding that can really fill up the space with water in no time!  Because there are different amounts of water intrusion, there are different levels of sump pumps.  The most powerful sump pump on the market is the TripleSafe sump pump.  The rugged plastic body hold not one but three pumps set at different heights to handle every level of water intrusion possible.  The first pump is for the regular water load that comes in rain or shine.  The second pump is set higher up to help pump when a sudden rainstorm starts filling the basket quickly.  Finally, there's a third pump even higher up that runs on a battery back up and can kick on if the pump is overwhelmed.

This Celestine, IN home was have a problem with expansive soils pressing inward on the block foundation basement walls.  The pressure was causing bulging and cracking, which besides being ugly, was actually showing the foundation needed reinforcing in those areas.  

The standard repair is usually to anchor the wall by driving rugged steel wall anchors from the interior of the basement through virgin soil out to an anchor in the yard.  The wall anchor system is not functional in every situation.  There was a challenge to repairing this wall because there wasn't adequate easement on the side of the house to allow for wall anchoring.  Due to the extremely tight quarters, anchoring was out.  Instead, Chris, the design specialist, suggested reinforcing and stabilizing the wall with beams called PowerBraces.  Powerbraces anchor above the wall and below it to keep the wall stable and the foundation movement from affecting safety.  The installation took just a couple days and was an immediate relief to the worried homeowners!  

This homeowner in Celestine, IN, had an addition to his home with a crawl space underneath it. He worried about moisture getting in and wanted to know what could be done about it, so he gave Healthy Spaces a call.

Our Design Specialist, Mike Rogers, met with the homeowners and together they decided that covering the crawl space entry well with The Turtl is the best way to eliminate that moisture.

The Turtl is a durable plastic crawl space access well that we offer as part of our crawl space vapor barrier system. It's not only an airtight cover, but it also doubles as an access well AND door combined! The plastic design is perfect for the outdoors because it's made to endure daily wear and tear and ensures that it will never rot, rust, or need paint. 

Joe in Loogootee, IN, had water issues in his basement. He said it looked like someone tried to previously install some interior drainage in the past but it's not working. After doing some research on Google and coming across all of Healthy Spaces Google reviews, he decided to give us a call to schedule his free inspection. 

Our team installed a perimeter drainage system, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe comes equipped with an airtight lid, primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery backup sump pump. Installing a drainage system with our sump pump system, this will keep Joe's basement dry with triple the protection. 

Homeowner in Branchville, IN had a damp environment in his crawl space underneath his home. Any moisture is bad in a crawl space because not only do insects and critters of all kinds love this type of environment and wet materials, but mold also thrives in it as well. Our client had previously used Healthy Spaces before at a different home so he knew he wanted to give us a call to help him with his unhealthy space.

Our System Design Specialist worked with him to create a plan that he felt comfortable with and would give him peace of mind. Our team installed a complete encapsulation system, along with drainage matting, and crawl space wall insulation.

Because he had a concrete floor with rocks over the top, we installed our CleanSpace drainage matting. This is used when it's difficult to install a drainage system. Installed under our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the matting creates a drainage space and thermal break between CleanSpace and the ground. Next, we installed our SilverGlo Wall Insulation. SilverGlo is infused with graphite, which reflects heat and lower's the material's conductivity. This makes your crawl space and floors above them warmer in the winter and lowers your cost of heating bills. Lastly, our team installed over the top of the drainage matting and SilverGlo our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System completely isolates your home from the earth by sealing it over the floor and walls.
