Before & After Photos

Hydrostatic pressure is the most common issue for basements that we see. When your foundation was first built, the builders have to dig up soil around the foundation and then have to backfill back around that foundation with the same soil. Because the soil was dug up, it's not as compact. This creates a clay bowl effect around your home, where water is more inclined to saturate the soil around your foundation because the soil was once broken up. With all this water sitting on the outside of your foundation, it creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the walls. In order to relieve this water pressure, we installed an interior waterproofing system that invites the built up water into the sump pump, and then the sump pump discharges that water far away from the home. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to make sure the wall is stabilized for good. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to cover up the stained block walls.

This specific corner of the basement was leaking heavily for this homeowner. You can see from the before picture that the walls were deteriorating from the intruding water, and this was frustrating the homeowner. We installed our patented interior perimeter waterproofing system with the most effective products like; A TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace moisture proof walls, and WaterGuard subfloor drains. This waterproofing system helps bring a peace of mind to the homeowner that their basement is protected from water.

This homeowner wanted us to help stop mold from growing in their crawl space. We waterproofed, then encapsulated with a moisture barrier, then sealed out the old vents, then we installed a world class dehumidifier.

This wet crawl space in Eminence, KY, was falling apart due to excess moisture. The open vents and the dirt floor in the crawl space were allowing moisture to damage the floor joists and the fiberglass insulation. Mold was also a concern, as musty smells were emitting up into their living space above. By encapsulating it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, our SilverGlo insulation, our drainage system, and our SmartSump sump pump, we were able to eliminate the moisture and insulate the crawl space. We also strengthened the floor joists by adding wooden sister joists, and by installing our SmartJack crawl space posts. We then topped it all off by sealing all the vents and joists with vent covers and spray foam insulation. The result is a crawl space that will provide the homeowners with clean air, savings on energy, and savings on costly repairs. 

This crawl space underneath a church in Ghent, KY, was struggling with moisture issues. If you look closely at the attached "before" picture, you'll notice that the ducts are dripping with condensation. This wet air was not just causing musty smells, but it was also starting to deteriorate the framing and the ductwork below the church. To repair the crawl space, we started by wrapping the floor with our dimpled drainage matting, which will help make the crawl space more comfortable to crawl around in after we finished the project. We then wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will help seal moisture out of the space. We finished the project by sealing all the vents and installing a dehumidifier. After the project was finished, the churchgoers noticed an immediate change in the smell and feel, even on the first floor of the building.
