Moisture in Crawl Space in Chandler, IN

Before	After

Our client in Chandler, IN, had a crawl space adjacent to their basement that was under only one room on the main floor. There appeared to be moisture and potential mold in the space. It also had insulation that would likely need to be replaced. They called Healthy Spaces to help determine their best option for fixing their crawl space. 

To eliminate the moisture problem, System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, proposed installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air. The CleanSpace vapor barrier turns your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space. When that occurs, your floors feel warmer in the winter and your energy bills go down.

Wet Crawl Space in Chandler, IN

Before	After

In Chandler, IN, a couple was interested in waterproofing their crawl space. The crawl space had been untreated since being built, so the couple knew that they wanted to waterproof their crawl space when the opportunity arose. When a heavy rainfall occurred, it worried the couple when they peered into the crawl space and saw water puddles throughout the space. Waterproofing was a necessity for the homeowners because they were interested in using the crawl space for future storage. 

To prevent water puddles from appearing in the crawl space again, a SmartSump was placed into the ground and continuously pump out any water that enter the basement. There is an alarm pump for the sump to alert the homeowners if it would ever fails. Dimple matting is placed throughout the floor of the crawl space to direct water to the sump pump. CleanSpace seals the space away from the outside air. After the liner is installed, the SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. It beats humidity and the possibility of mold spores thriving. The couple was ecstatic to finally have the waterproofed crawl space that they always hoped for. 

Bowing Wall in Chandler, IN

Before	After

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.
