Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

A home in New Harmony, IN, had wooden floors that were starting to become uneven. The homeowner reached out to us, in hopes that we would have the best solution for her home. The flooring was uneven due to the humidity and moisture present in the crawl space. The homeowner was interested in encapsulating her crawl space when she heard about CleanSpace. 

Home encapsulation is a rewarding process to witness. A drainage matting is first laid out across the floor of the crawl space. A dimpled polyethylene membrane under the CleanSpace liner allows water to flow to a sump in a crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top and sealed to exclude outdoor air from disrupting the environment again. Once the project was completed, the homeowner peered inside her crawl space and was amazed by the transformation! 

Homeowners in Huntingburg, IN, had a recurring problem for the past few years. Each time it rained, water would leak into the basement, causing damp floors and a humid climate. Over time, the humidity had formed mold that was starting to form on the walls and corners of the basement. The homeowners contacted us for a FREE inspection to see what could be done. The basement needed a little TLC, and that's exactly what Healthy Spaces could handle. 

The basement needed a proper drainage system to empty the water out and away from the home. The WaterGuard is a French drain-style wall gap that will catch water from the wall, as well as dirt and debris from the basement floor. Water is then directed to the UltraSump pump that was installed to retain a dry space. Water in the sump pump is disposed of through the IceGuard system located outside. It empties water out and away from the home. Once the waterproofing system was completed, the homeowners were impressed with how a simple system such as theirs, could keep their home dry for years to come!

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!
