Before & After Photos

The crawl space in this Evansville, IN home was not a place you wanted to be. It was wet and growing mold, giving the are an overall damp feeling. Since crawl spaces are the lowermost points of a home, the "Stack Effect" explains that air flows in your home from top to bottom, meaning that the mold in the crawl space can be easily breathed in by those upstairs, causing a serious problem. 

Here you can see in the before and after photo that our team worked to remove all the debris and organic material from the crawl space. With that out of the way, they could start the mold removal process. The first step is to seal off openings to prevent cross-contamination. The second step is to remove airborne contaminants by using air scrubbers. Next, we used a HEPA vacuum to remove any loose contaminants. And lastly, we applied a solution that foams on contact, then it penetrates the soil load which will leave a contaminate free surface.

Here you can see the real difference that Waterguard and Brightwall systems can make in your Evansville, IN basement.  In the first picture, you can see the mineral build up and staining present n the block concrete foundation walls and concrete slab of the basement.  This staining can also be a breeding ground for mold.  In the second picture, you can see that the Waterguard basement perimeter drainage system was installed and the Brightwall wall system attached to direct wall moisture into the Waterguard system.  The two components now direct all wall moisture and groundwater seepage into the drains, to the sump pump system to be pumped out of the basement and far away from the home.

his homeowner in Mount Carmel, IL had a musty smell in their basement. They had no water issues in their basement but they have a small crawl space under their home that they never went into. They finally said "enough is enough," and decided to call Healthy Spaces.

We encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace encapsulation and put spray foam in the rim joists of the crawl space to keep the area sealed. We also installed our Ultimate Energy Savings package, which includes SilverGlo wall insulation panels to keep heat in and create a vapor barrier.

When this Mount Carmel, IL homeowner noticed that his downspouts from his gutters were only pouring rainwater into his foundation, he knew he needed a solution. He of course wanted to keep his basement dry and free of mold and a way to make sure that happened was to find alternate discharge lines. He gave us a call to see what we could offer.

Bob Breadhold, one of our Design Specialists, met with the homeowner and discussed what we could do for the homeowner. After an inspection, they agreed that 3 lawnscape outlets would be the best solution. This outlet enables downspout water to escape with virtually no pitch. This is a discharge line buried under the ground so it takes rainwater away from the home. After it is installed, the grass will grow back over it and all that will be seen is the outlet. 

Clint B. from Mt. Carmel, IL was in major need of help in his basement. He has always had water issues, and he was starting a list of what needed to be done to his home. The water in the basement was high on the list, so he decided to give Healthy Spaces a call to come to inspect his home after reading reviews online. 

We send a Design Specialist out to Clint's home to perform a free inspection. He then sat down with the homeowner to discuss what needed to be done, and what products could do that for him. First, the mold was cleaned out of the basement to prepare a healthy environment. The basement got a brand new waterproofing system to keep the water out, as well as CleanSpace covering the basement walls. This wall system economically brightens your basement, as well as prevents mold growth.  Installing these products will keep their basement dry no matter what weather their house encounters.
