Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Washington, IN, a homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces about mold concerns in his basement. He wanted a thorough inspection of the space to see what solutions we could provide. There was mold present on the bottom halves of the walls, where water was likely coming in through. The basement needed a waterproofing system to fix the issue for good. 

CleanSpace was installed on the walls to protect against water vapor. The water vapor will be trapped by the CleanSpace, enabling it to move down to the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard receives the water and then carries it toward the sump pump. The homeowner was impressed that such a simple system would keep his basement looking nice and dry! 

A family in Newburgh, IN noticed their home starting to feel humid, especially after a rain storm. One of the family members decided to inspect the crawl space for a possible clue as to why their home was humid. When the homeowner inspected the crawl space, he found that the ground was damp with a few puddles of water scattered throughout the space. Healthy Spaces was contacted soon after to encapsulate the home. 

Crawl space encapsulation not only looks great but will save you money in the long run. The homeowners were spending more money to heat and cool, but once the CleanSpace was instead, it did not put a latent load on the HVAC system. To create a dry airflow, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was purchased. It will keep the relative humidity below 55% and costs less electricity to run compared to conventional models. Once the job was completed, the family was pleased to feel a dry air flow running throughout the home again!

A Newburgh, IN homeowner wanted to finish their basement but had water leaking into the space. Because of this issue, all plans for finishing the space were paused until the basement is waterproofed. As pictured, there was mold growing near where the water was coming in from. The homeowner was ready to get the ball rolling!

When water leaks into the basement, it needs to be caught and carried away from the home. This is where the Waterguard comes in handy. The WaterGuard system has a big drain outlet to the sump and it will not cause structural damage to the foundation.  When the water reaches the WaterGuard, it will be directed to TripleSafe. The TripleSafe has an iron pump that works silently and last longer. The waterproofing system transformed the space, making the homeowner happy!

In Evansville, IN a couple noticed mold growing on the ceiling of their porch. It was a screened-in porch that sat on a crawl space. For this to start, there needs to be moisture and humidity. When mold finds the right combination of temperature, food source, and moisture, they grow. As mold grows, it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold. These seeds are like tiny parachutes that float through the air. The couple was ready to begin the mold remediation before it fully covered the ceiling. 

A fungus wipe-down was required to remove the mold. All surfaces affected by the mold are scrubbed off with a brush and then sprayed for protection. Yearly maintenance is encouraged to make sure the home is staying protected and no areas were missed.  Once the job was finished, the homeowners stepped out to the porch with big grins on their faces. It feels good to live in a mold-free home! 

In Tell City, IN a homeowner contacted us regarding bowing walls in his basement. According to the homeowner, it has been that way for 40 years but has recently been getting worse. Foundation problems occur with poured concrete walls not because the wall is weak, but because the connection between the top of the wall and the rest of the house is weak. This issue called for professionals like Healthy Spaces to take care of the problem!

Basement walls not only support the weight of your home but also resist pressure from soil, moisture, and other forces. The Wall Defenses strip was used to permanently protect the block foundation wall from bowing. It is made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymers with a tensile strength that is much stronger than steel. Once this system was installed, the homeowner saw a HUGE improvement!
