Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner had dealt with a leaky basement and wanted to take care of the problem before it worse anymore. The floor had visible signs of water leakage such as water puddle stains on the ground and water stains along the corners of the walls. If this issue is not dealt with, it can turn into mold, which is not an ideal situation for any homeowner. The homeowner was excited to move forward in creating their dream, safe place. 

The solution to damp and leaking stone walls such as the home here is to put CleanSpace alongside the walls. CleanSpace wall system stops water vapor drains wall leaks and brightens your basement. It also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. Any water that is finding its way into the basement walls, will flow beneath the CleanSpace, down to the WaterGuard that is installed in the ground beside the walls. The water that enters the WaterGuard is then directed to the sump pump. The sump pump will pump out water to the outdoors. This effective system pleased the homeowner to know that water would not be an issue any longer. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner wanted to create additional space in their home by transforming the basement into a hangout room. As the homeowner was inspecting her basement in hopes of transforming the place, she stumbled upon water leakage. There was water coming through the concrete block walls and keeping the ground wet. The water leakage was due to a foundation settlement happening outside the home. Water flows downhill, and since the soil has settled, the soil has a slight dip formation causing water to flow towards and inside the basement. To achieve a finished basement, the homeowner's wish is for us to waterproof the basement.

To waterproof the basement, CleanSpace is installed on the walls of the basement. CleanSpace is a 20mil liner that protects the vapor barrier. Any water that enters the basement will be stopped by the liner and will flow down to the WaterGuard system that is installed on the floor beside the walls. Once the water reaches the WaterGuard it will enter the UltraSump pump. The UltraSump pump pumps away the water outdoors. This is an effective system that will take care of water leakage and provide satisfaction for the homeowner. 

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.
