Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

Healthy Spaces received a phone call in Chandler, IN. The homeowner on the other line had foundation concerns found in her basement. Whenever it would rain, water would begin leaking through the bowing walls. If bowing foundation walls are left untreated, the problem will worsen, causing homeowners to question the safety of their homes. The homeowner was ready to take action and prevent her foundation from weakening more. 

The basement needed a permanent feature that would stabilize the walls from the foundation settlement. The process consists of utilizing a joist reinforcement method that distributes the load evenly, eliminating the worry of damage caused to wood floor joists, commonly seen with other l-beam joists. The PowerBrace system is custom fit to the basement wall height and secured tightly against it. This system can be tightened over time, stopping wall failure without invasive drilling or digging on the property. The homeowner felt at peace once the project was completed. 

In Washington, IN, a homeowner needed a new sump pump. Their old pump was plastic and did not have a lid. The lidless sump pump had caused the basement to be exposed to moisture whenever the sump collected water inside. The homeowner needed an upgrade to their sump system for it to benefit the home's health. 

The UltraSump pump has a cast iron pump called the Zoeller pump. Cast iron pumps are quiet, cool well, and last longer compared to plastic pumps. At Healthy Spaces, our sump pumps have an airtight lid that will prevent water from evaporating into your basement, stop stuff from clogging the pump, and quiet the system. A pump stand will elevate the pump above the bottom of the sump liner to allow sediment, mud, debris, or gravel to settle to the bottom without affecting the pump. If the pump were to ever fail, a pump alarm is located on top of the lid to alert the homeowner. Once the project was finished, the new sump pump looked great in its new place! 

Encapsulating a crawl space is an exciting project to see. The drastic before and after encapsulating receives the most attention from homeowners. A homeowner in Owensboro, KY, loved the look and benefits of an encapsulated crawl space. The homeowner recently became interested in finding ways how he can save on his energy bills, which brought him to contact us. 

CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that can be installed on the ground and upper parts of the walls in a crawl space. This action will prevent water vapor from disrupting the environment. Dirt floors are damp and require a sump pump to create a constant dry floor beneath the CleanSpace. The SmartSump pump has an airtight sump lid with a drain that keeps water vapor sealed in while allowing water to drain down in the event of a plumbing leak. The homeowner was so impressed with the process and final result that he even left us a review!

In Evansville, Indiana, basement walls slide in from the bottom, wreaking havoc when it rains. Once it rained, the water would leak in and damage any keepsakes that the homeowner had stored on the floor. The nightmare had been going on long enough that Healthy Spaces was contacted to fix it. 

The basement wall had begun to "shear", or slide in at the bottom, which needed a system for not only straightening the middle of the wall but the bottom as well. The GeoLock Channel Anchor System projects the foundation walls from further inward movement. The heavy-duty steel earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from the foundation wall and then connected to steel wall channels with galvanized steel rods. There are four main steps to using this system. First, carefully remove the sod and drill holes to place the earth anchor several feet away from the foundation wall. Next, drive galvanized steel rod through a small hole in the interior foundation and attach it to the earth anchor. Install a channel anchor and floor plate. Lastly, replace soil and sod. The anchors are then tightened. Once the GeoLock Channel Anchor System was installed, there were no more worries about the next rainfall. 

In Evansville, IN, Healthy Spaces received a phone call about a homeowner's wish to replace their sump pump with one of ours. The sump pump did not have an airtight lid, which was exposing water vapor to the basement. When water vapor is exposed and humidity is present, then mold can form. The homeowner wanted to prevent the growth of mold before it started. 

The sump pump was replaced with the SuperSump pump. The SuperSump pump has a quiet iron pump, cools well, and lasts longer. The SuperSump has an airtight lid that prevents water from evaporating into the basement and stops objects from falling and clogging the pump. The pump will bring the water out and away from the home. The homeowners were no longer feeling distressed about their sump pump. That's why we are here!
