Before & After Photos

A customer from Rockport, IN, reached out to us about mold growth concerns located in their crawl space. Mold spores thrive in humidity and wet space such as this crawl space. Mold is a living organism that can survive between 70% and 99% relative humidity. When mold grows it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold. These seeds are like tiny parachutes that float through the air that will stick onto damp surfaces such as the muddy crawl space floor or damp, wooden beams. It is urgent to have mold remediation done before your health is at risk. 

To remove mold thoroughly, mold remediation is done. All beams are scrubbed and sprayed away to prevent new mold from growing. To correct the issue of how the mold was able to thrive in the first place, a 20 mil liner called CleanSpace is laid throughout the space and sealed together at the seams to prevent any moving. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. A SmartSump pump was installed to pump water from under the CleanSpace liner, to the outdoors. The crawl space is now healthy and longer a risk to the homeowner's health. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was concerned when water started to slowly flood their basement. There was a home settlement issue due to backfill. Backfill is loose soil that is used to fill the hold around the home's foundation after construction is completed. Dirt should be added so that water does not flow towards the foundation. Although wet weather floods the basement, so does dry weather. In periods of drought, the soil shrinks away from the foundation, leaving voids for the next rain to easily flow down into your basement. 

The basement was protected from water by creating an effective system to keep water out, such as the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard system directs water to the TripleSafe Sump pump, where the sump pump will pump water out of the house continuously. CleanSpace is placed on the walls to protect against water vapor. Since ClanSpace is placed against the walls, water can trickle down towards the WaterGuard without it leaking onto the floor of the basement. A system with great products such as these will prevent basement flooding from happening again. 

A crawl space in Evansville, IN, was affecting the cost of energy due to the humidity and damp ground. A home with a dirt crawl space costs more to heat and cool. Damp air puts more of a hidden load on the HVAC system. If some cracks or openings are always in contact with outside air, then it is affecting your home's energy. The homeowner wanted to save money in the long run by keeping the crawl space fully closed. The best solution for sealing all cracks and openings in a crawl space is to cover every inch of the dirt floor and walls with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that allows water to seep beneath the liner, towards the sump pump. It stops water vapor from permeating up from the floor above. An added benefit of installing CleanSpace is that you can use the space for extra storage. The homeowner was happy to have an energy-efficient crawl space that would save them money in the future. 

A homeowner in Newburgh, IN, had water puddles throughout the space, causing the flooring to be muddy. Due to the humidity and moisture, a few mold spores were spotted on the wooden beams. Water vapor kept flowing up from the soil, causing the water to build up. If this keeps happening, water may eventually flood the crawl space, causing bigger issues for the home. The homeowner was ready o transform the crawl space into a dry and usable space. 

To prevent future water vapor from disrupting the crawl space's environment, CleanSpace is laid throughout the floor and walls. It will allow water to drain from the walls and floor to the sump location. CleanSpace is treated with an antimicrobial ingredient so mold and bacteria will not grow on it. SmartSump is put in to continuously pump water out by itself. It has a pump alarm to alert if the sump pump may fail or bring awareness if the crawl space is flooding. Any mold was removed through mold remediation. The crawl space gave the homeowner peace of mind to know that their space is safe from water and mold. 

In Chandler, IN, a couple was interested in waterproofing their crawl space. The crawl space had been untreated since being built, so the couple knew that they wanted to waterproof their crawl space when the opportunity arose. When a heavy rainfall occurred, it worried the couple when they peered into the crawl space and saw water puddles throughout the space. Waterproofing was a necessity for the homeowners because they were interested in using the crawl space for future storage. 

To prevent water puddles from appearing in the crawl space again, a SmartSump was placed into the ground and continuously pump out any water that enter the basement. There is an alarm pump for the sump to alert the homeowners if it would ever fails. Dimple matting is placed throughout the floor of the crawl space to direct water to the sump pump. CleanSpace seals the space away from the outside air. After the liner is installed, the SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. It beats humidity and the possibility of mold spores thriving. The couple was ecstatic to finally have the waterproofed crawl space that they always hoped for.
