Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner needed a functional system to control the water that was escaping into the basement. As the rain weather carried on, the problem gradually became worse, requiring the homeowner to reach out to us about their concerns. A basement that leaks water becomes useless since it's unsafe to store keepsake items or furniture without it being ruined. The homeowner was ready to transform the unusable space into a livable and safe place. 

A small trench was formed alongside the walls for the WaterGuard to go into. The WaterGuard sits on top of the footing and is designed not to clog. This is an important feature because it keeps mud from getting into the drain. The next system that was installed was the UltraSump pump. The UltraSump pump is not only made up of a sump but other helpful features. The sump system has an airtight sump lid, floor drain in the sump lid, pump stand, and a pump alarm. 

A homeowner from Evansville, IN, reached out to us about concerns regarding his basement. The basement consisted of water leakage, making it unsafe to use the space for storage. One of the rooms in the basement had white walls with water and dirt stains running down the walls and to the ground. In some basements, Efflorescence can appear on the walls. Efflorescence is from the minerals in the concrete, mortar, or soil that dissolve in the water and are left behind when the water evaporates off the surface of the wall or floor. It appears as white powder or crystals and is sometimes confused with mold, but it is not alive. It is only a sign that water is coming through the wall or the floor. 

The BrightWall paneling system was installed with drilled-in white fasteners to the walls of the basement. Brightwall paneling drains any water leaks down behind it to the WaterGuard system without you even knowing it. It also stops water vapor from coming through the wall and evaporating into your basement. The WaterGuard system is placed into the small trench that was made beside the bottoms of the walls to direct water that is coming from behind the BrightWall. The whole basement was transformed into a bright and beautiful space to store anything safely. 

A customer from Rockport, IN, reached out to us about mold growth concerns located in their crawl space. Mold spores thrive in humidity and wet space such as this crawl space. Mold is a living organism that can survive between 70% and 99% relative humidity. When mold grows it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold. These seeds are like tiny parachutes that float through the air that will stick onto damp surfaces such as the muddy crawl space floor or damp, wooden beams. It is urgent to have mold remediation done before your health is at risk. 

To remove mold thoroughly, mold remediation is done. All beams are scrubbed and sprayed away to prevent new mold from growing. To correct the issue of how the mold was able to thrive in the first place, a 20 mil liner called CleanSpace is laid throughout the space and sealed together at the seams to prevent any moving. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. A SmartSump pump was installed to pump water from under the CleanSpace liner, to the outdoors. The crawl space is now healthy and longer a risk to the homeowner's health. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was concerned when water started to slowly flood their basement. There was a home settlement issue due to backfill. Backfill is loose soil that is used to fill the hold around the home's foundation after construction is completed. Dirt should be added so that water does not flow towards the foundation. Although wet weather floods the basement, so does dry weather. In periods of drought, the soil shrinks away from the foundation, leaving voids for the next rain to easily flow down into your basement. 

The basement was protected from water by creating an effective system to keep water out, such as the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard system directs water to the TripleSafe Sump pump, where the sump pump will pump water out of the house continuously. CleanSpace is placed on the walls to protect against water vapor. Since ClanSpace is placed against the walls, water can trickle down towards the WaterGuard without it leaking onto the floor of the basement. A system with great products such as these will prevent basement flooding from happening again. 

A basement in Evansville, IN was having a water leak through the windows. The windows were old and rotted on the sides, which allowed water to seep into the basement, causing a mess for the homeowner to maintain. If water is finding its way inside the basement, it can cause mold to form on the edges of the window. The homeowner was ready to switch out the old and leaky window for a more protective and lasting one which will be the most energy-efficient option. 

The old window was replaced with EverLast windows. EverLast windows are double panes of energy-efficient glass that are fixed and do not open. Basement windows are not meant to be opened, but to bring in extra light from outdoors. Many homeowners want a bright and inviting basement for the comfort of their home, which is why the EverLast window is the best solution. The homeowner had protection against water leaks as well as an upgraded look to the space.
