Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

In Evansville, Indiana, a family reached out to Healthy Spaces needing a quote on crawl space waterproofing. Inside the home, the air was humid and damp feeling. One of the family members has asthma, which was affecting them the most. During the inspection, there was mold on the wooden beams of the crawl space which had caused mold to form on the walls in one of the bedrooms above. All mold needed to be treated and removed to begin waterproofing the crawl space. 

The perfect waterproofing combo does not exist- Oh, wait, yes it does! The Drainage matting and CleanSpace liner work together to direct water flow toward the sump pump and seal cracks that would affect the vapor barrier. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was purchased to create a dry air flow to banish mold from thriving again. Once the waterproofing system was completed, the family felt a wave of relief knowing that their home and health were safe. 

A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana was interested in waterproofing their basement. One request he made was to replace the window in the basement. He wanted a window that would bring the most light in and was sealed to prevent a cold draft. 

The EverLast energy-efficient, all-vinyl windows were installed to replace the old ones. The new windows look much better and do not let the wind in. This is a perfect replacement for a damp environment close to the ground. The homeowner was pleased with the new replacement windows, knowing that he wouldn't have to feel a cold draft in the winter again!

In Evansville, Indiana a couple wanted to turn their basement into a bar/hangout spot for friends and family. The only problem was that the basement would leak water and would either be extremely cold in the winter or humid in the summer. The basement walls needed to a drainage system and insulated walls for a welcoming atmosphere. 

The wall system that the couple chose was BrightWall. BrightWall paneling brightens your basement and gives it that clean, semi-finished touch. Before this system is put on, the WaterGuard is installed. The WaterGuard is a drainage system that catches water and directs it toward the sump pump. With the WaterGuard installed, there will be no more water leaks on the floor! Once the waterproofing and finishing of the walls were complete, the family was ready to host parties. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was dealing with moisture in the crawl space. The moisture and humidity had created a great place for mold to form, causing allergies for the owner. Some mold spores produce a chemical byproduct called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins begin when other species compete for space which then causes chemical warfare on molds. The compounds can affect your respiratory system. Although you can not see mycotoxins, some may detect a musty smell in the home or space that they are present in. The homeowner was ready to begin the mold remediation process to prevent mold from forming again and encapsulating the crawl space. 

The first step in a healthy crawl space is removing any unhealthy growth, such as mold. Through mold remediation, all affected and unaffected organic surfaces are scrubbed and treated. Next, drainage matting is laid on the floor to direct water to the sump pump. SilverGlo insulation is put on the walls to reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity. Lastly, the crowd favorite, CleanSpace is secured on the walls and floor to protect the vapor barrier.  The homeowner was relieved to find the CleanSpace healthy, protecting him from allergies in the future. 

Having a waterproofed basement is great but a finished basement is even better! In Mount Vernon, Indiana, a homeowner wanted to take advantage of the extra space she had in her basement. Before finishing the basement, it needed to be waterproofed so that rainwater would not leak inside and ruin the finished basement. She had always dreamed of the space being a special hangout room for family and friends and wanted our help to accomplish that goal. 

To begin that process, the drainage system such as the WaterGuard was installed to keep water inside the system and direct it towards the new TripleSafe sump pump. Once the waterproofing project was completed, it was time to create a finished space. The Everlast Wall Restoration was put on. The top half of the walls are EverLast panels that are cement boards with a washable, vinyl finish. The bottom half is considered the wall restoration. New flooring was put in, wrapping up the end of the job. The transformation left the homeowner astonished and excited for an extra space that will add value to her home.
