Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

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. 

In Evansville, IN, the home was for sale, but when the inspection report was completed, it was reported that water was finding its way inside the crawl space through the entry door located outside. The panel was not secured in a way, resulting in water being able to seep through the sides. For the home to complete the inspection test, this would need to be taken care of. The realtor reached out to Healthy Spaces to handle the issue!

The old plywood panel that was used needed to be discarded and replaced with the EverLast Panel. The EverLast Panel is all plastic, so it will not rot, warp, or need paint. Knobs screw into the anchors in the wall and draw the door tight against weather stripping to seal off outside air. Once the job was completed, the realtor was able to sell the home!

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner contacted Healthy Space for a free inspection. Upon inspection, the crawl space had water standing on the 6 mil liner. The humid air smelled like mold, and when the wooden beams were examined closer, mold spores were spread throughout. The homeowner was ready to get the ball rolling and cast their worries away!

Mold remediation was completed to remove and treat any mold that is and would be on organic surfaces. EZ Flow drainage was put in to increase void space which provides improved water flow rates up to 35 percent. Next, a drainage matting is laid on the ground to direct water to the SmartSump that is installed. Once the drainage matting is completed, CleanSpace is put on top to seal the space from the outside air. The crawl space was not only protected against the weather but looked stunning!

In Uniontown, KY, Healthy Spaces received a call from a homeowner concerning their home's foundation. The foundation and bricks were cracking and sinking. The home sits on a crawl space, and when the crawl space was inspected, cracks were forming on the walls. The saying," it gets worse before it gets better" does not apply to foundation settlement. The issue will continue to worsen until the problem is dealt with. 

The push-pier system reaches greater depths than other options. An external sleeve is used to strengthen the pier system directly below the bracket to prevent kinking and bending and ensure a vertical installation in competent soils. Hydraulic hoses such as the blue and red ones pictured below have a gauge that shows how far down the pier is in the ground and how much more hydraulic pressure needs to be added.  While this process is happening, cracks are inspected to ensure that the home settlement is fixed. The homeowner was relieved to have a permanent solution set in place.
