Ferdinand Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Professionals

These homeowners had a rather unique situation where they had a 1956 house built atop a basement and a later 1977 addition built over a dirt floor crawlspace.  These two areas both had flooded in the past and smelled wet continuously.  The crawlspace was a bit of a question mark to the homeowners because neither was willing to crawl inside to check it out.

The Healthy Spaces team installed 97 linear feet of Waterguard in the basement and 396 square feet of CleanSpace in the crawlspace.  Both areas received comprehensive Forticell and Biocide treatments first to remove mold and fungus.  

A Ferdinand, IN home had been flooding off and on with the rain for years.  More recently, the homeowners had noticed that the walls would weep, even after the rain stopped.  It was creating and exacerbating the flooding and mold issues.  The homeowners met with Damon Cheatham regarding these issues.  

Damon created a custom system to hand the wall leaks as well as the rain-induced flooding.  The plan called for 108 linear feet of Waterguard, a french-drain style system, that sits along the interior perimeter of the basement along the footer.  In addition, he recommended CleanSpace Wall System to direct wall moisture into the Waterguard system.  The homeowners selected a SuperSump Sump pump with battery back up, and an extra long discharge line to remove water very far away from the house.

This Ferdinand, IN home, just like many others in the area, is suffering from basement flooding.  The homeowners were so tired of the water and the wet walls.  Wall leakage is a common issue in block foundation walls like theirs and they just want the problem resolved!

The installation team at Healthy Spaces has installed 108 linear feet of Waterguard with 3 Waterguard ports for cleaning and maintenance.  The Waterguard system is the best solution for this wall and floor leakage situation because Waterguard has the ability to capture and direct floor water and a specialized flange on the top to capture wall leakage, too!  The installation tea also placed 120 linear feet of CleanSpace wall system along the basement walls in order to direct the wall leakage and moisture more effectively into the Waterguard system will reducing the relative humidity in the basement.  The SuperSump Sump pump will direct the groundwater out of the basement and far away from the home to keep the basement dry all the time!

Flooding basements can be a huge headache and a terrible energy and time suck.  The homeowners of this Ferdinand, IN home were sick and tired of the constant flooding in their basement.  They contacted Healthy Spaces to have a permanent solution designed to keep their basement dry all the time.

Daniel, the design specialist with Healthy Spaces, designed a custom waterproofing solution for this basement.  The basement will have the following installed:

--136 linear feet of Waterguard

--2 Waterguard ports (for cleaning and maintenance)

--1 SuperSump sump pump from Zoeller

--1 Iceguard to prevent the discharge line from freezing

--1 LawnScape outlet where the water will exit the discharge line.

--144 linear feet of CleanSpace Wall system

The system will clear both floor and wall water leakage and keep the relative humidity in the basement low to keep mold from growing.  The SuperSump is a powerful Zoeller pump that will pump out all the water and keep relative humidity low with its strong, antimicrobial lid.
