Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

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. 

A crawl space in Evansville, IN, was affecting the cost of energy due to the humidity and damp ground. A home with a dirt crawl space costs more to heat and cool. Damp air puts more of a hidden load on the HVAC system. If some cracks or openings are always in contact with outside air, then it is affecting your home's energy. The homeowner wanted to save money in the long run by keeping the crawl space fully closed. The best solution for sealing all cracks and openings in a crawl space is to cover every inch of the dirt floor and walls with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that allows water to seep beneath the liner, towards the sump pump. It stops water vapor from permeating up from the floor above. An added benefit of installing CleanSpace is that you can use the space for extra storage. The homeowner was happy to have an energy-efficient crawl space that would save them money in the future. 

A homeowner in Newburgh, IN, had water puddles throughout the space, causing the flooring to be muddy. Due to the humidity and moisture, a few mold spores were spotted on the wooden beams. Water vapor kept flowing up from the soil, causing the water to build up. If this keeps happening, water may eventually flood the crawl space, causing bigger issues for the home. The homeowner was ready o transform the crawl space into a dry and usable space. 

To prevent future water vapor from disrupting the crawl space's environment, CleanSpace is laid throughout the floor and walls. It will allow water to drain from the walls and floor to the sump location. CleanSpace is treated with an antimicrobial ingredient so mold and bacteria will not grow on it. SmartSump is put in to continuously pump water out by itself. It has a pump alarm to alert if the sump pump may fail or bring awareness if the crawl space is flooding. Any mold was removed through mold remediation. The crawl space gave the homeowner peace of mind to know that their space is safe from water and mold. 

In Chandler, IN, a couple was interested in waterproofing their crawl space. The crawl space had been untreated since being built, so the couple knew that they wanted to waterproof their crawl space when the opportunity arose. When a heavy rainfall occurred, it worried the couple when they peered into the crawl space and saw water puddles throughout the space. Waterproofing was a necessity for the homeowners because they were interested in using the crawl space for future storage. 

To prevent water puddles from appearing in the crawl space again, a SmartSump was placed into the ground and continuously pump out any water that enter the basement. There is an alarm pump for the sump to alert the homeowners if it would ever fails. Dimple matting is placed throughout the floor of the crawl space to direct water to the sump pump. CleanSpace seals the space away from the outside air. After the liner is installed, the SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. It beats humidity and the possibility of mold spores thriving. The couple was ecstatic to finally have the waterproofed crawl space that they always hoped for.
