Before & After Photos

James M's crawlspace was riddled with waterproofing issues which contributed to ongoing flooding in his basement. At one point, he noticed at least six inches of water accumulated in one corner of the crawlspace. Water leaking into a basement crawlspace will find a home either in your walls, evaporating into your home in the form of water vapor, and could cause mold and rot if not removed.

Our system design speciaist Jim designed a waterproofing solution for James' crawlspace that will give him peace of mind when the rains comes again. We replaced James' two faulty sump pumps with our TripleSafe sump pump system with three levels of protection.

To prevent water from entering through the concrete and floor in the form of water vapor, we installed a CleanSpace plastic liner designed to permanently keep away any moisture and cold air. We placed it over the walls and floor of his crawlspace which will now block anything outside of it. CleanSpace is extremely durable and even comes with a mold-resistant additive called UltraFresh.

The homeowners had water coming into their basement from their crawlspace. Water was pooling in their crawlspace and seeping into their home. The homeowner did not have a sump pump so standing water had started to accumulate in the basement. 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump in order to combat this standing water. The TripleSafe sump pump is great because it has three sump pumps in one, giving you triple protection. The first pump will remove water from your home efficiently and effectively. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. The second pump is there for you on the rare occasions that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. The triple safe sump pump is the best option because it adjusts automatically when needed and keeps your basement dry with triple protection.

Our Energy Savings Package is the perfect combination for customers looking to be more energy efficient. Much of your home’s air quality is a direct result of the condition of your crawl space. To prevent that air quality from being tarnished, it's necessary to keep humidity and moisture out and insulate the space from extreme temperatures. Unfortunately for this Sawyer, MI home, concrete block walls and dirt floors (like those in the before picture) offer very little resistance when it comes to water, air, and outside temperatures.

The crew was able to change all of that with SilverGlo wall insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier – two of the products included in our Energy Savings Package. The SilverGlo walls seen in the after photo will reflect heat back to its source, keeping the crawl space cool or warm depending on the season. CleanSpace is a durable plastic liner that won’t be penetrated by moisture. With the package working together, this home will save a bundle on their heating and cooling costs.

When this customer started thinking about putting her house on the market, she knew she would have to do something about the mess in her crawl space. As you can see in the before photo, the moisture that was getting into the crawl space had caused quite a few problems. The tarp that was supposed to be protecting the crawl space was covered with water, debris was everywhere, and the piers and walls were water stained.

To solve this problem, the crew installed the SmartSump (see after photo) to pump out water and encapsulated the crawl space with the moisture barrier CleanSpace. CleanSpace is the white liner that covers everything in the crawlspace including the piers, walls, and floor. The sump pump will collect all the moisture that doesn’t get through the barrier and direct it out through the discharge line. Selling this home will be much easier when potential customers see the completely encapsulated crawl space, instead of the pit that it used to be.

This home is a summer home for the owners but every summer they have problems with a damp crawl space and that gives off a mildew smell. They also said with the damp crawl space they have noticed mold growth. No one wants mold in their house, it can cause health issues, is horrible for resale and it looks awful. 

The crawl space had a sump pump but it wasn't doing its job. Our team installed CleanSpace to encapsulate the space and a new sump pump. The pump installed is the King of all sump pumps, the TripleSafe. This sump pump has 3 pumps in the one liner. It also has a cover so the water that gets in stays in and isn't evaporated back into the crawl space, leaving it wet.
