Chandler, IN Basement and Crawlspace Safe from Water

Challenge

Homeowner Joellen M. from Chandler, IN was having issues with mold growth and unwanted water inside her home, especially her basement. Her basement is unique because it has both a basement and a crawl space. They had mold on the bottom of all the walls due to bad insulation in the walls and the temperature change was causing condensation. These issues made this place in the house somewhere they didn't want to be, and they wanted to change that, so they gave us a call. 

Our challenge was to give this family the dry basement and crawl space they deserved, as well as eliminate the mold, and we knew exactly what would do the trick.  

Solution

The first step was to remediate the mold that was growing. The remediation process includes removing all mold-damaged materials, drying out the basement or crawl space, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces. 

Then, a WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of the basement. It is engineered specifically to be an efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. It sits on top of the footing, instead of alongside it, keeping mud from getting into the drain. Once the concrete is poured back over, the system is hidden and your floor is good as new. 

Once the crawl space was insulated, a CleanSpace liner was fixed to the walls and floor. This liner is incredibly durable and seals off the space keeping moisture and outside air from entering the crawl space. Antimicrobial additives in CleanSpace also prevent mold growth.
