Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Oakland City, IN, the homeowner was having a problem with their basement leaking. The problems did not start until the tornado had struck near their home, and the rain storm had also flooded about three inches. Upon inspection of the home, their old sump pump was located outside, Having a sump pump outside will not solve leaking problems since water from the outside could also flood the sump pump. Sump pumps are encouraged to be installed indoors, where the weather can does not affect them and it will successfully pump water out of the basement. 

Since the homeowners had dealt with heavy rain in the past, the past, the TripleSafe sump pump was the best choice for this case. The TripleSafe sump pump is the king of all sump pumps due to the ability to store three sump pumps in one liner. Pump one is a high-quality Zoeller pump. Pump two is set a bit higher in the sump hole, that turns on in the event the first pump would fail or can not keep up. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. Pump three is a battery-operated UltraSump pump that kicks in if the power goes out. The homeowner was relieved to know that their new sump pump system will keep their basement dry from future storms. 

A homeowner located in Evansville, IN, was worried about the foundation of their home when they started noticing their walls bowing. If bowing walls were left untreated, then the problem will only worsen. If the situation worsens, it can cause you to question the safety of your home and yourself. The foundation of the home needed to be straightened to restore the wall and be able to hold up for many years after. The homeowner was prepared to rehabilitate the wall and ease his conscience. 

The best solution for straightening and tightening the walls permanently is the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. The GeoLock anchors utilize plates buried in the soil outside your wall that has up to 480 square inches of bearing surface. The anchors have a higher soil capacity, making them provide greater stability, and are designed to straighten a failed wall over time. It presents minimal disturbance to the home, lawn, and landscaping. Once the GeoLock system was set into place, the homeowner felt a sense of relief that his foundation would no longer be a worry to him. 

A homeowner in Princeton, IN, was having leaking issues in the cement of their basement floor. Water leakage in a basement can be a nuisance when it is preventing you from using the extra space for safe storage. The basement was lacking a proper drain around the bottom of the foundation, causing the water entering the basement to remain on the floor. In addition to water leakage, the basement had to bow walls that need to be permanently straightened.

A trench was created beside the bottoms of the walls for the WaterGuard system to go into. The WaterGuard system has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain the wall leaks. The next item to prevent leaking in the basement is a bright white line called CleanSpace. CleanSpace provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it, and will brighten the living space of the basement.  A TripleSafe Sump pump was installed to pump out any water that was coming from the WaterGuard to the sump pump. To fix the bowing issues, push piers are installed alongside the walls to stabilize and straighten the foundation. The homeowner felt relieved to know that not only their basement would no longer be leaking, but the foundation would no longer be an issue. 

In Mount Vernon, IN, a homeowner contacted us concerning her basement. The basement's brick walls, especially on the corner where her sump pump was located, were wet. Although her basement was not flooding after steady rainfall, there was still water that was in contact with the basement's environment. This will disrupt the environment and cause humidity and mold to form. The homeowner was ready to turn her dark, humid and uninviting space into a bright and safe place to store items/hang out in. 

To prevent water from future destruction to the walls, CleanSpace is laid alongside the walls. CleanSpace protects against water vapor that would cause the air in the basement to become humid. A SuperSump is put in to replace the old one the homeowner had. The SuperSump has an iron pump that will last long and pump water fast. Since the air in the basement was humid, a SaniDry Sedona empties itself being hooked up near the SuperSump that will empty water outside and away from the house. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner found water in his crawl space and decided it was time to waterproof it before it became a bigger problem in the future. The crawl space's floor consisted of small pebbles and water puddles. The water sitting in the crawl space and the humidity created a musty smell in his house. If the issue was not dealt with, over time mold will develop. It was urgent to get his home back to smelling great and his home healthier! 

A dimple matting is placed over the pebbles to provide protection for the CleanSpace that is installed next. If dimple mating was not used, then the pebbles would have made small punctures in the CleanSpace liner over time if someone were to go down and move around. A SmartSump pump is installed to pump away water that enters the crawl space and carries it away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona is hooked up to create a dry airflow throughout the space. The homeowner was relieved to not have a musty smell in his home anymore.
