Before & After Photos

This started off as a damp, moldy crawlspace. The customer was looking to remediate the mold and encapsulate the space. Here we started by removing the old insulation and cleaning the mold with our Mold X2 Cleaner and botanical solution. Next, Rim Tight Spray Foam was added to the joist area and SilverGlo thermal insulated panels were installed on the perimeter walls. We then laid down Cleanspace Drainage Matting and our Cleanspace Liner to encapsulate the space. To waterproof the area, we installed a Waterguard sub-floor drainage system along with a Supersump System which features a cast-iron Zoeller M63 sump pump, airtight lid and a floor drain. Lastly, we installed a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the humidity low and an Ultrasump 4 battery back-up system to guard against flooding during a power outage.

Sump Pump upgrade 

This 150 year old church home had a leaky basement that was left unattended for years. Durning those unattended years, walls were flaking, mold was beginning to grow and there was a strong constant musty odor no matter the time of season. We came out and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier, WaterGuard a SuperSump Pump, Iceguard and a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. This system will keep your basement dry during the rainy seasons and humidity low during those hot humid months. 

The new homeowner had a 1915 stone foundation home, that was showing signs of water intrusion in the basement. The customer also mentioned that there was a sump pump in the basement, but the life of the motor had come to an end.

The long-term goal of this customer was to finish the basement, but if you know you have a water intrusion issue in the basement, your first step to finishing is taking care of the leaks. 

Knowing that water is entering in through the foundation walls, you need to stop that water from penetrating the foundation or redirect the water. Now if you don't want to excavate and waterproof from the exterior, which is not always a guaranteed correction, you'll want to redirect that water with the installation of our Cleanspace vapor barrier. Where to redirect the water to? This is where you would install our Waterguard perimeter drainage system ( Drytrak for those tight tricky spots or thick slabs like monolithic flooring). The Cleanspace will drain those leaking foundation walls, directly down into the Waterguard.

So at this point, water has leaked in through the foundation wall and the vapor barrier did its job and directed the moisture down to the perimeter drain, but it can not stay here, the point of a waterproofing system is to get water out of the basement, so it needs somewhere else to go. This is where we replaced their old non working sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump which collects the water from the waterguard and then discharges it on the exterior of the home.

Now finally having a warranted, dry basement, the homeowner can move on to the finishing portion and making this area in to a useable space!

The extremely high moisture levels in this customer's crawlspace had caused significant damage to the center support beam. Here we used existing piers and temporary jacks to lift the floor off the old cracked and rotting beam so we could replace it with new, pressure-treated lumber. Once we replaced the beam, we advised this customer to have a sump system and dehumidifier installed in order to keep the high moisture levels in check.
