Putting home repair needs in the back of your mind will not only save you money but the health of you and your home. A homeowner in Tennyson, IN had a complication with their old sump pump that failed, causing the crawl space to be wet after a rainstorm. A few months went by and mold started to form thanks to the humidity in the atmosphere of the space. The homeowner was not aware of the issue until Humidity began to affect his bedroom and which caused concern. Healthy Spaces took action and encapsulated the crawl space!
CleanSpace drainage matting is rested directly on the crawl space floor to give water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This will direct water flow toward the sump pump system. Next, the bright, white liner called CleanSpace is secured on the walls and floor of the space. It will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface, making it possible to convert your crawl space into a usable storage area. To create a constant dry airflow throughout the area, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is hooked up to carry any water vapor to the SmartSump pump. Once the moisture barrier was protected, the homeowner inspected the new transformation with a grin on his face. We love seeing happy customers!
It can be frustrating finding water in your basement, especially when you use that space for storage. This was the exact dilemma that a homeowner in Newburgh, IN was dealing with. The corner of the room needed to be waterproofed if the homeowners wanted a safe storage unit in the future. A problem like this needed to be resolved by a well-trained crew such as with Healthy Spaces.
The SuperSump is a great sump pump to be used in a basement area. The SuperSump pump comes with an airtight lid that will prevent water from evaporating into your basement, stop things from falling and clogging the pump, and quiets the system. A pump alarm is placed on top of the lid to alert you if your crawl space was ever flooded or in danger of being flooded. As the SuperSump pump was installed, the family was insured that their basement will be protected moving forward.
It is never pleasant to find water on your basement floor after a rainstorm. It can also be frustrating when your keepsakes are at risk of ruining if repeated rainwater leaked in again. A similar occurrence happened in Rockport, IN. A homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces in hopes of waterproofing his basement.
The best solution for the basement is to install the WaterGuard system to direct water toward the sump pump, leaving the ground completely dry. The basement needed a dependable dehumidifier such as the SaniDry Sedona, which will collect the water vapor and bring it to the sump pump. The SuperSump pump was the best sump pump for this basement. Lastly, the homeowner wanted a finished look, so BrightWall panels were put in. The waterproofing system was finished and ready to protect the home from future rain storms, leaving the customer satisfied!
In Owensboro, Kentucky, a homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces in hopes of encapsulating her crawl space. She had previous work done somewhere else that did insulation/ water barrier work that seemed to have been done incorrectly. Upon further inspection, the crawl space was infested with mold. Mold was visible throughout the crawl space's floor as well as the wooden beams. The standing water and humidity in the crawl space made it possible for mold to thrive.
Drainage matting was laid on the floor, allowing water flow to be directed to the sump pump. It also adds extra protection before the CleanSpace is secured on top. A new access well door, The Turtl, was put in to make it easily accessible and secure without allowing water vapor to enter the crawl space. The Turtl can be locked to prevent unwanted guests from intruding inside. The transformation was incredible, leaving the homeowner astounded!
A prospect in Evansville, Indiana, contacted Healthy Spaces regarding his basement. The commercial property had a basement that had severe leaking alongside the walls. The floor above had sagging floors, that needed to be held up. The owner was interested in waterproofing and repairing the foundation.
To collect any water that would enter the basement, the WaterGuard System was installed alongside the walls. This system has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks. It will carry the water toward the sump pump. Lastly, the sagging floor was held up using the SmartJack system. Heavy-duty SmartJacks addresses weak foundation soils, or the effects changing moisture conditions can have on these soils. It lifted the above floors back toward their original position. Having a safe foundation and a reliable water system left the owner feeling satisfied. It was a job well done!
