This basement in Greenville, SC was having water issues. Water would seep down the walls from ground level and puddle on the floors. These home owners did the right thing by calling All-Dry of the Carolinas. Our All-Dry crew was able to tackle this issue with three of our most used products: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the SuperSump Pump.
In the “before” picture you see the corner of the basement before our All-Dry team started installing the WaterGuard and SuperSump Pump. In the “after” picture you are able to see where the WaterGuard has been placed around the perimeter of the basement and the SuperSump Pump.
Many homeowners don't realize that they have moisture issues until someone else makes them aware of a possible issue. One of the biggest reasons for this is because a lot of homeowners hardly ever go under their home, and even when they do, they probably don't know some of the signs of water intrusion and high moisture levels. However there are many contractors that frequently work in crawlspaces who know some common signs of moisture issues.
This happened to be the case for this homeowner. When they had a pest control company at their home, the technician noticed that the moisture level was much too high in the crawlspace. While it was great that the technician noticed the high moisture level, a good amount of "damage" had already begun, such as mold already growing on the floor joists in the crawlspace and soaked floors. However, even with the problem as bad as it was, our System Design Specialist knew that we had a solution for this homeowner.
The high moisture level in the crawlspace of this home was taken care of with the installation of CleanSpace and several other products that help to keep the water out of the crawlspace. Our crew installed 3-inch drain tile around the perimeter of the crawlspace which helps to drain the water down the the SuperSump Pump System that was also installed in the crawlspace. There was also a dehumidifier that was put in the crawlspace in order to remove any moisture that wasn't caught by the CleanSpace.
This home in Greenville, South Carolina was trying to finish their basement, but before they did that they wanted to take care of a few moisture issues within the space.
In the before picture, we have the space enclosed by brick. And, although brick is common, it’s not particularly water resistant. To combat this issue, we installed CleanSpace pictured here in the after picture. Our CleanSpace is a 20 mils thick plastic liner, reinforced with polyester cords for added strength and durability. The CleanSpace is sealed using a variety of methods, but all of them are designed to keep the material sealed.
While the work that we do may sometimes seem pretty routine, there are a lot of little things that must be looked at and taken into consideration before a proper estimate can be made. Fortunately for us, our System Design Specialists are extremely well trained and have enough experience to look for the intricacies of each and every crawlspace they enter. This is important when installing CleanSpace, because we want to make sure that the whole crawlspace is sealed up properly.
The first photo shows off a particularly interesting area in the crawlspace where a brick wall had started falling apart, as well as a small gap between the brick and garage structure. While it was still part of the crawlspace, because of its odd shape, it was better off to seal off this area. This is one of those things that could very easily be overlooked, but because of our Specialist's experience, was taken care of during the initial inspection.
The photo that was taken after the CleanSpace was installed shows the solution that our Specialist came up with. First off, our crew did a great job at working the CleanSpace around the broken brick wall, which can sometimes be difficult. The solution that our System Design Specialist came up with was to use one of our products, SilverGlo insulation to block off the area behind the broken brick wall. SilverGlo is not only sturdy, but it also will help insulate the crawlspace.
This Greenville, SC crawlspace was needing help. The crawlspace was covered with dirt and mud. Insulation hung from the ceiling and mold covered the walls. Our crew installed a CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier. When encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, it seals the area to keep moisture from creeping up from the ground and causing damage to your foundation. A dehumidifier was placed in the crawlspace as a solution to the humidity that is produced from the pipes under your house. A SumpPump is to flush out entering water and excess water from the dehumidifier from the crawlspace. Together with all these tools, the crawlspace is completely protected from moisture.
