Before & After Photos

 Water and faulty discharge lines never lead to anything good.  This homeowner noticed his crawl space was in seriously bad shape after flooding and never draining properly took its tole. Design Specialist, Jimmy Schaefer, took a thorough look and quickly came to a conclusion..the crawlspace was in need of encapsulation and a SmartSump pump system.  EZ Flow drain and Ice guard also needed to be implemented to control any flooding and excess water

SmartSump pump system was installed which included a cast iron pump, airtight lid and floordrain.  This also came with a WaterWatch alarm system which works to emit very loud sounds if it is overfilled.  The EZ Flow drain and discharge line were fashioned around the perimeters to control any excess water and displace it away from the crawlspace.   CleanSpace Drainage matting was placed to ensure space for water underneath and to avoid any puncture damage to the encapsulation.  Finally, the SaniDry Sedona was placed to reduce humidity and the rest of the basement was sealed efficiently with foam insulation in any cracks or holes. 

Richard G. from Utica, KY was having water issues in his home. Granted, his home was over 100 years old. It was built in 1904 and the water issues were just getting worse as time went on. One of his friends had used our services and recommended us. Richard picked up the phone and scheduled a free inspection.

System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, did a thorough inspection of Richard's basement and pinpointed the problems he saw. Richard agreed to the plan that Damon had come up with, and our production team did the rest. A WaterGuard system was installed to run any intruding water straight to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The water would then run outside from the discharge lines of the sump pump. A CleanSpace vapor is a heavy, durable, plastic liner that provides a vapor barrier while also draining water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement.

In Utica KY, a homeowner needed waterproofing to be done in their crawl space. Although thin plastic was laid throughout the crawl space, it does not guarantee that it will not rip and form holes. In the past, it has been popular to lie down thin (such as 6 mils.) of plastic on crawl space floors. Over time, as the thin sheet of plastic is ripped, the plastic becomes ineffective. When part of the soil is exposed out of the plastic liner, it becomes vulnerable to water and air. 

To solve the soil being exposed, we waterproofed the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The CleanSpace is a more durable option than a regular liner since it is constructed of multiple layers of plastics with different characteristics of flexibility and puncture and tear resistance. Another benefit of having CleanSpace installed is the odorless and safe antimicrobial additive that is manufactured into the material. This means that it prevents mold growth on the liner. Once the CleanSpace was put in, it gave the crawl space a second chance to flourish in a healthy way.  

Homeowner in Beaver Dam, KY, was interested in getting an estimate for a new vapor barrier. Having heard from friends and family in Beaver Dam who had work done from us, they decided to give Healthy Spaces a call. 

We installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing by. By keeping their crawl space dry, they're protecting their structure from mold and rot. 

Here, you can really see the difference that CleanSpace makes!  The initial crawlspace was lumpy dirt floor, covered in a clear plastic sheet.  When the sheet was pulled back, it was amazing to see how moldy and gross that plastic had become and how tattered and shredded it was.  Underneath the plastic, there was a failed trench system for drainage.  Instead of helping control the influx of water, it trapped over 4" of standing water in the crawlspace, which lead to mold and fungus growth among other problems.  

Damon Cheatham with Healthy Spaces came out and inspected the crawlspace.  He designed a comprehensive water removal system to keep the crawlspace dry all the time!  The installation team started by remediating the mold, removing the debris, and leveling the floor of the crawlspace.  Next, they re-dug the trench system to fit an EZFlow drainage system, which connects to a SuperSump sump pump system to remove the water.  The entire crawlspace needed to be more energy efficient as well, so SilverGlo insulation was installed along the walls and in the spaces between the subfloor joists.  The crew installed 1,134 sq feet of Cleanspace, two vent covers, and an EverLast Crawlspace well and door for entry.  Finally, a Sani-dry dehumidifier was installed in the crawlspace to keep the space conditioned and the relative humidity low so mold won't grow in there again.
