When moisture leaks into a crawl space, it can create a humid environment and it will cling to any organic materials, making them soft. This scenario is exactly what happened to a crawl space in Owensville, IN. A homeowner had creaking floors, that were caused by water vapor. Damp wood rots, which enables mold to grow on it. The homeowner wanted to waterproof his crawl space before the problem worsened anymore.
A drainage matting was laid throughout the space for the CleanSpace to lay on top of. A drainage mat is helpful for water that comes in through the dirt ground to be carried to the sump pump. The CleanSPace is then laid on top of the drainage matting, sealing the floor and walls away from the outdoor air. To pump water out of the crawl space, that does not enter into the spaces in front of the ground, the SmartSump pump takes care of the problem! To create a constant airflow to prevent humidity, the SaniDry Sedona is hooked up. This dehumidifier disposes of water automatically by carrying any water vapor to the SmartSump. The homeowner was pleased to know that their home and health are protected.
In Lewisport, KY, a family wanted to transform their dark and cold basement into a welcoming space to have hangouts in the future. The basement had water leakage that needed to be repaired to further furnish the space. The family was ready to keep the ball rolling and have the basement of their dreams!
Once the waterproofing was finished in the basement, such as the WaterGuard system and a sump pump being put in, then it was time to take care of the walls. Basement to Beautiful panels was installed across the walls to insulate the area. It was waterproofed with integrated electrical chases and "warm" studs. Wood studs can rot and grow mold where there is no wood in the Basement to Beautiful panel. The basement to Beautiful panels are not a finished wall and need to have a finished system installed over them. The family was ecstatic to see the transformation and the potentiality of ideas for the space.
If you come across signs of water damage in your basement, it is ideal to repair it as soon as possible before the problem worsens, causing you more money in the long run. A homeowner in Mc Leansboro, IL had water damage in his basement. The humid atmosphere was causing the homeowner to spend more money on energy costs since he needed the basement and home to be a comfortable temperature to live in. The homeowner was ready to cut out the costs of energy being used while creating a relaxing place to be in.
A system needed to be set in place to dispose of any water that entered the basement through the walls. The solution for water drainage was the WaterGuard and sump pump system. One key to a waterproofing system is that it must have an opening to drain water from the walls, such as the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard will carry any water entering from the walls, to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump sports three sump pumps in one sump liner. Once an efficient waterproofing system was made for the basement of this home, the homeowner was thrilled to know that from now on, he will be saving more money on energy costs. Goodbye humidity!
A homeowner in Evansville, IN needed his crawl space's vapor barrier protected, and knew that that was a job for Healthy Spaces. Upon inspection, the crawl space was humid and the dirt floors were damp underneath the black, 6 mil liner. Fortunately, the humid climate was caught early, leaving the surfaces of the wooden beams mold-free. The homeowner needed the best possible solution set in place to prevent humidity, water, and mold in the crawl space.
The crawl space was protected against a vapor barrier using CleanSpace to seal the floor and walls. Any water that comes through the ground will not affect the environment, but will instead be directed to the SmartSump that was installed. The crawl space was humid and needed to be controlled by using the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Once a reliable system was established, the homeowner will have peace.
In Newburgh, IN, a couple needed their foundation inspected to see what further plans needed to be set in place for their issue. One wall of the foundation, located in the basement, was bowing and would bring water inside whenever it rained. After a big rain storm had hit their home, causing more water than usual to leak into the basement, the homeowners had enough. There needed to be a reliable, secure system set in place for the home to be healthy.
To straighten the walls permanently, the best option was the PowerBrace system. The zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. The patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, stopping wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property. The couple was in awe of the PowerBrace system and the future benefits it will bring to the home.
