This rental property owner was between tenants moving so he decided to check out his units and determine if there were any issues that he could fix before the new tenants moved in. He found that the basement was unusable because of water damage and this would effect the rent he could charge for one of his units, so he decided to give us a call to see what solutions we could offer that would help increase the value of his rental property.
We sent System Design Specialist Austin Harris to inspect the basement of this unit, determine what the damage was from water, and design a custom solution that would fix the water issue in this rental property. Austin found that water was getting into the basement during heavy rains from the cold joints of the walls and floors. He also found that there was a high humidity level in the basement causing mold growth and truly making the basement an unlivable space. He discussed this problem with the property owner and they property owner decided that he needed to fix this problem as soon as possible. One of our installation teams quickly came to the property ready to fix the problem, utilizing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a trench drain in front of the garage. These solutions not only waterproofed the basement, but they also sealed off humidity from growing mold in this space by encapsulating it.
The rental property owner was very pleased with the work that was done, stating that the project exceeded his expectations. Check out the newly installed waterproofing and encapsulating solutions!
This was a unique job where the homeowner saw snakes consistently come out from under the sidewalk and back patio. When we inspected, we found several voids under her sidewalk, due to soil drying out. It was so bad that if you stood in the yard, you could visibly see the holes under the sidewalk. To fix this, we used PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that fills all the voids underneath concrete and compacts the soil to permanently lift the slab to its original position. The crazy thing is, when we started the repair, a copperhead snake came out! We were able to remove the snakes and fill those voids so no new snakes would make a home under there again.
Charles frequently gets in and out of his car on the driveway and uses his walker to do so. He and his wife wanted a safer and more level surface for him to walk on. They knew their concrete was in bad shape and wanted to preserve it for decades to come for their future use and to increase the value of the home when they sell it.
To fix these issues, we used Nexus Pro joint and crack sealant and leveled out the concrete using our Polylevel foam. We also applied Sealant Pro as a surface sealer to prevent further deterioration of the concrete and protect it from rain and oil.
Homeowners Becky and Will recently moved into their new home and wanted to make sure they protected it so that it was safe and protected for years to come.
System Design Specialist Shane McClintic visited the home and was able to find a solution that the customers were confident in. We used Smartjacks to stabilize the main interior beam in the crawlspace, then added drainage matting, Cleanspace encapsulation and Sanidry Sedona to protect the home from moisture and humidity throughout.
Dirt crawl spaces are common, but they can cause issues to homes. The problems include sagging floors which can be repaired with floor jacks and dirt in vents which can be solved with crawl space encapsulation. In addition, there can be moisture in the crawl space which can be prevented or mitigated with a vapor barrier like CleanSpace.
A home in Forsyth, MO had a dirt crawl space that needed to be repaired. The Thrasher Foundation Repair installed our CleanSpace product. This allowed the homeowner to use the crawl space as a storage area.
