This project was for a highly satisfied customer of ours. We had just completed an install of our EverLast Wall System and Ceiling Tiles and the customer requested a free quote for flooring. We sent the original inspector, Joshua Jackson, out to his home to provide some flooring samples and help pick the best flooring system for this basement. Once the final product was chosen, by customer request, we sent foreman Chris Cote, back out to install.
This installation consisted of our Canyon Beige, ThermalDry Tile Flooring. Our ThermalDry flooring is great for basements, it turns the hard, cold concrete into comfortable flooring. The ThermalDry tiles are inorganic, water resistant tiles that have pegs on the bottom to provide air space and a thermal break.
Property manager of this Lancaster PA rental home contacted Basement Systems to assess the issue of "bubbling paint" and "Musty smell" coming from the basement. When our inspector Chris Cooke went out to this property, seeing that there could be no leaking pipes, it was determined that ground water had been leaking in to this basement and when that is left unattended, mold can start to grow and cause that musty smell.
Basement Systems came out and did a spotted MoldX2 treatment and installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on all 4 foundation walls. CleanSpace not only stops water from penetrating the walls, but it is also a quick, economical way to cover up, not so pretty basement walls.
The crawl space in this Lancaster, PA, home was suffering from severe groundwater intrusion, even though it had been encapsulated before. The original barrier was failing, allowing water to seep through and create a damp, unprotected space. This made the crawl space vulnerable to potential mold growth, odors, and structural issues, and the homeowner was understandably concerned.
After a thorough evaluation, we installed our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, providing a robust moisture barrier and addressing the groundwater issue head-on. The new encapsulation system not only restored the crawl space to a dry, protected environment but also offered the homeowner peace of mind. Now, his Lancaster, PA, home has a durable solution that will keep the crawl space dry, effectively sealing out moisture and ensuring lasting protection against water intrusion.
Our veteran foreman is installing a new stair basement entry.
Over time, the homeowner in Downingtown, PA, observed cracks and bowing in the walls of their garage, raising concerns about potential structural deterioration. After our team conducted a thorough inspection of the area, they assessed the cause of the weakened walls and determined the most effective repair solution. Our crew then installed the ultra-stabilizing PowerBrace Wall Repair System, successfully restoring the bowing and cracked wall to its original straightened position. The garage wall is now fully reinforced, providing the homeowner with complete peace of mind.
