Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Evansville, IN, a family needed their windows replaced due to water leakage. Upon arrival and inspection of the windows, the glass was cracked, with dirt crusted onto the frame of the window. One of the homeowners pointed out that they would love to have more natural light in the basement, but the windows were blocked with sheeting to prevent water from coming in through the cracks. Replacing the windows in the basement would not only brighten the place up but protect the space from future leaks.

The windows were replaced with the EverLast basement window. The EverLast window is energy-efficient, all-vinyl, and double-paned glass. Metal-framed windows rust, wood windows rot, and are difficult to keep painted. The EverLast windows are made with all-vinyl, so they will not fail like most windows. The homeowners were astonished by how the new EverLast windows transformed their basement into a lively space. 

A homeowner located in Marion, KY, was interested in protecting the vapor barrier in his crawl space. Humidity and moisture were constant issues in his state that he desperately needed to repair to have an energy-efficient home. The pin insulation, also known as fiberglass insulation, started to fall or hang due to the high humidity. When insulation such as this is failing, the best solution is to remove it all. The homeowner was ready to transform the space for the better. 

Before installing a new system to keep humidity away, all insulation from the ceiling is taken down. CleanSpace is then laid throughout the crawl space to seal the space from the outside air. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that brightens up the atmosphere. A SmartSump pump is put into the ground to constantly pump water out that enters the crawl space. The sump pump prevents any water from happening again. It thrilled the homeowner to know that his crawl space is energy-efficient! 

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.
