Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

We've all seen the usual crawlspace door--plywood, old palettes, or scrap wood nailed together to cover the crawlspace opening. Even if the cover is painted or covered in shingles, it's usually warped and degraded by the sun. The metal hinges are usually rusted and in many cases, the hinges have pulled out of the siding. These old crawlspace doors lead to many problems besides just being ugly; they also allow pests, mold spores, and moisture into your home. Since these doors are not airtight, cold winter air will enter creating energy efficiency issues and increasing your heating bills.

Healthy Spaces offers several access door options to their homeowners. These are made entirely out of plastics and foams. Once installed, they create an airtight, waterproof seal between your crawl space and the cold or humid air outside.

This new crawl space doors is called a Turtl. It is constructed of rugged, durable plastic. It can be secured from the outside and it will not warp or fade in the sun. A Turtl is inexpensive, easy to install, and keep your home looking great!

Chris and Shannon from Central City, KY, had some plastic down in their crawl space but every time it rained or the crawl space would get damp, they could smell a musty, wet mud smell throughout the house. They also complained of having daily headaches, sinuses burning, and would occasionally feel nauseous. After calling Healthy Spaces, our System Design Specialist developed a plan with the homeowners that would make transform their musty, unhealthy crawl space into a cleaner, drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient space!

Homeowners from Otwell, IN would notice water seeping in their basement every time it rained. Not only was water a problem, but they were also having mold growth. They knew that it couldn't be healthy for their family. They finally got tired of feeling stressed and overwhelmed, so they reached out to Healthy Spaces for a free estimate.

Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, assisted the homeowners in deciding all of the necessities for a dry, healthy basement. They began the process with a fungus remediation process to make sure the spores were gone which meant clean air for the home. Secondly, they installed a WaterGuard System. This drainage system takes water straight to the sump pump and out of the basement through discharge lines. Lastly, CleanSpace was installed to give the basement a finished look on a budget. 

These homeowners are so happy with the finished project and now have the peace of mind they've always dreamed of having. 

Homeowner Richard G. From Livermore, KY gave Healthy Spaces a call when he was finally done with all of his issues happening in his basement. Water was leaking into his basement from several different areas, and this "drain" wasn't doing its job. Debris had piled up around it, preventing water from going in. A System Design Specialist was sent to Richards home to diagnose and treat the problems that the basement was having.

Together, they talked through a solution that Richard loved. A WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of his basement that would direct the water to his new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The Triple Safe sump pump has three sump pumps in one. The first pump will do most of the pumping effectively. The second sump pump will be there in case the first one fails. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line to give you a boost in the rare cases you need it. The third pump is designed using batteries so it will be there for you if the power goes out. The Triple Safe sump pump is the best option because it adjusts automatically when needed and keeps your basement dry with triple protection! 

Richard can now rest assured knowing that his basement is protected from water. 

Our client in Livermore, KY, would get water in their crawl space every time that it rained. They also knew that their vapor barrier in the crawl space would need to be replaced as well. After seeing a TV commercial for Healthy Spaces, they gave us a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. After our System Design Specialist, Damon inspected their home, he found a couple of other issues that would also need taken care of.

Because of the high moisture in the crawl space, it caused mold so our team would first need to remediate that. Next, our team sealed all his vents and completed encapsulated his crawl space. Encapsulating your crawl space prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. CleanSpace vapor barrier has a mold-resistant additive that won't support mildew or mold growth. The combination of these products ensures the crawl space will remain a clean, energy-efficient space and gave our client peace of mind knowing that his crawl space will stay dry!
