This basement had quite a few issues, with the main one being mold. The major issue was water entering the space, mainly through wall cracks. In a small area, a little water feels like a really big issue and a large amount of water means real trouble. The homeowners knew their basement had issues, and finally, enough was enough. They gave Healthy Spaces a call and Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came out to the home and did a thorough inspection.
A WaterGuard system would be installed around the perimeter of the basement to catch water and take it directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump. From there, the water would then be taken outside and released throughout the LawnScape outlet. The homeowners also decided to add IceGuard on to this in case the line would ever freeze, the water would still be able to come out of the basement.
For the appearance factor of their new, dry basement, CleanSpace was placed on all of the walls. CleanSpace wall coverings provide an economical mold and mildew resistant layer to brighten up the space, and new expertly installed egress windows allow more light in and provide an emergency escape in the event of a fire. New double pane EverLast basement windows were also installed in the basement. These windows won't ever rot, rust, or even need paint. These windows won't ever ruin your finished basement from water running in.
These Henderson, KY homeowners were at their wits end! They had constant basement flooding the last two weeks and prior to that, seasonal flooding that had ruined the walls and floor of the basement, laundry room, and garage.
After meeting with a dry basement expert from Healthy Spaces, the homeowners realized that they could have an interior drainage system installed in about 4 days that would leave their basement, laundry room, and garage dry all the time.
First, the Healthy Spaces installation team cut trenches into the perimeter of the three flooding areas, even around tricky corners and a curved fireplace. Next, they installed a Waterguard interior drainage system and hooked it up to a powerful Zoeller sump pump system.
In these two pictures, you can see where Steven Joseph and his installation team battled severe water intrusion to install the sump pump in the best location to remove all the water from the basement. In the After picture, you can see what a difference the right system can make! The basement is already dry and the system installation isn't quite finished yet!
Any Henderson, KY basement experiencing flooding needs a reliable, powerful sump pump constructed of quality components. This is a SuperSump Sump Pump from Basement Systems. Our Healthy Spaces installation team is trained to install this remarkably compact, reliable Zoeller sump pump with our Waterguard Basement Waterproofing perimeter drain system. As you can see here, the pump is placed into a cut out in the basement slab, which is then filled with rock to allow the water to freely enter the perforated sump pump basket. The basket and entire shell are composed of rigid, durable plastic that will not degrade, warp or crack like other pumps. The tight-fitting lid ensures that outside debris stay out, but there is still a drain in the lid to handle those unexpected plumbing emergencies like a broken pipe. There is a WaterWatch alarm housed in the lid as well, which will alert the homeowners if the pump fails, becomes overwhelmed, or loses power in the midst of a storm and is being filled. Finally, you can see the rigid PVC style discharge line and dedicated outlet that make this sump pump system dependable--you don't have to worry about an overloaded circuit or a kinked discharge line. If your sump pump doesn't match these standards, it is time to have one of our Waterproofing Experts out to show you how Healthy Spaces can keep your basement dry all the time!
This homeowner in Henderson, KY, was having issues in his crawl space with moisture and mold. Part of the problem was that they did not have a crawl space door to seal up any moisture getting in. And a leaky crawl space access door lets in cold air in winter and humid air in summer, causing condensation, mold and rot in your crawl space.
We installed an EverLast Crawl Space door which will seal off outside air, never rust or rot, and will never need paint. In addition to the Crawl Space Door, we installed an EverLast Access Well which replaces old, corroded metal window wells and rotted wood entryways. An access well finishes nicely off the outside of your home and also complements the landscaping around your home. A bed of gravel is laid along the bottom of the well, which assists in drainage to help keep out flooding water.
This Robards foundation started off with a small crack above the garage door. Over the past few years that small crack turned into an even bigger one. They knew that they had to do something about this before the situation got worse, so they called Healthy Spaces to solve the problem.
Our System Design Specialist, Mike Rogers, quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that the foundation was settling and recommended installing Helical Piers. With a plan set, Kyle Devine and his product team came out to the home to start the project.
Helical Piers were installed around the outside perimeter of the home and garage. Once the soil was removed from the areas where the piers were being installed, heavy-duty foundation brackets were positioned below the footing. The weight of the home was then transferred through the helical piers to deep, competent soils.
