Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Evansville, IN, had bowing walls in her garage that needed to be straightened. A horizontal crack usually starts small and will increase in width over time as the soil outside continues to put pressure on the wall. The amount of pressure varies depending on the type of soil around the home, the amount of moisture in the soil, and how deep the foundation is under the ground. The homeowner was ready to stabilize the home's foundation to have peace of mind. 

The best solution for the homeowner was the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. To have GeoLock installed, the home has to have soil outside the walls for installation purposes. Wall anchors are installed by digging a small hole in the soil away from the home's foundation. A steel rod is drilled through a one-inch hole in the basement wall and is connected to an earth anchor seated deep within the augured hole in the basement wall and is connected to an earth anchor seated deep within the augured hole. A low-profile plate is placed on the interior of the basement walls and is secured to the rod. Once the system is installed, it is tightened and will permanently stabilize the foundation of the home. 

A homeowner in Booneville, IN, began to be concerned about the safety and quality of his storage items when he found water on the bottoms of the cardboard boxes. A few of his cardboard boxes contained priceless items that needed to be kept safe and away from water. The homeowner contacted us in hopes of solving his dilemma. Not only does water cause damage to items, but it also affects the energy it takes to heat and cool a space. It was costing the homeowner more to heat his home due to water causing humidity in the basement.

To control the flow of water that entered into the basement, a small trench was formed for the WaterGuard to be set into. The WaterGuard system allows water to enter the guard from the walls and then flow to the sump pump. The sump pump will then pump water out and away from the home. CleanSpace was installed alongside the sides of the walls to protect the space from water vapor. CleanSpace allows the water that escapes inside through the walls, to flow directly down to the WaterGuard system. This basement waterproofing technique successfully kept the basement dry and the homeowner pleasantly satisfied. 

A home in Owensboro, KY, wanted to transform its dingy basement into a livable place to stay. The floors and walls of the basement contained mold that needed to be removed before it caused health issues for the homeowner. Mold grows on wet organic materials that reproduce and send off airborne spores and then land on other wet organic surfaces to grow. The basement had a musty smell that was contributed by the spores. The homeowner was excited to see the results! 

Mold remediation was performed to create a healthy environment to live and breathe in. Once the mold was taken care of, it was easy to finish the basement! A SuperSump and WaterGuard system was installed to remove any water that enters the basement that would otherwise create humidity and mold. New paneling was installed to give the basement a "finished" look. EverLast, the new paneling, does not contain drywall; it will not grow or be damaged by water. The homeowner was thrilled to have an amazing, healthy space without worrying about their health.
