Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Hanson, KY, purchased their home over 10 years ago. They recently began to renovate their home when they discovered that their floors were creaking and were beginning to sag. They were afraid that the issue would get worse, so they decided to contact Healthy Spaces. 

Upon inspection, our Design Specialist, Damon, found high humidity which was causing the deterioration of the floor joists in the crawl space. The weakened girders and floor joists are unable to continue supporting the weight above, and the floor above the crawl space becomes bouncy, soft, and may begin to sag. 

Tad and his crew installed several SmartJacks in the crawl space. SmartJacks are used to permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in the crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists. Heavy-duty rods allow for adjustment and a custom fit for each SmartJack System installed. 

During the fall time, a homeowner in Evansville, IN, noticed a bit of water entering the basement but recently, there has been a great increase in water that has made its way inside due to a large quantity of rainfall.  Whenever there is a leak in the basement and water is entering it, it can flood the basement over time.  Water can damage the interior of the basement and can create Efflorescence to show on the walls.  Efflorescence is a chalky white powder that comes from minerals in the concrete, mortar, or soil that dissolves in water and is left behind after it evaporates.  It is essential to prevent water from leaking into a basement to protect the home from major issues down the road.

To keep the water away and dry air in, the walls are covered using CleanSpace.  CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that is tear-resistant and prevents mold growth on the liner.  A basement needs a bigger sump pump system unlike a crawl space, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump is installed.  A small trench is dug beside the walls and a water guard is put in to direct water flow to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. A SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to keep a continuous dry air flow.  Having tools that work effectively as a system will create a tranquil mindset.

In Evansville, IN, a family began to worry about their keepsakes in the basement when the mud was finding its way inside. If the mud was finding its way into the basement, then some cracks needed to be sealed. Whenever water or mud is leaking into a basement, then mold may grow on the corners or bottom of the walls. If water is touching the wall, then more than likely, mold will too. Unwanted things entering a basement can be overwhelming, but it is fixable!
Since it was a possibility that water was entering through the walls as well, CleanSpace was put up on the walls. This will direct any water to flow to the bottom of the wall, into the water guard system. A trench is placed beside the bottoms of the walls and then the water guard system is put in place. The water guard system will then direct the water to the SuperSump Pump. The SuperSump Pump pumps water to the outside. This whole system made it possible for the family to be able to store their keepsakes safely in the basement again.

A basement in Hartford, KY, needed waterproofing done to the basement when the homeowners noticed water coming in. Water damage can be a serious issue if it is affecting the foundation and creating mold on the walls. A basement staircase can be affected if it is made out of processed organic materials such as wood. The stairs can become unsafe and bouncy if stepped on. The homeowners were adamant about the safety of their basements.
To transform the basement from a once damp and humid place to a clean and relaxing room. Basements to Beautiful panels were put on the walls.  These panels are waterproof, insulated with integrated electrical chases, and “warm” studs. These panels are custom-engineered foam panels with integral studs that are fastened directly to your foundation walls. Water guards were also installed along the borders of the wall to direct the water to the TripleSafe Sump Pump that was put in.  The basement modified the space into a peaceful atmosphere that the family could enjoy.

A basement in Evansville, IN, needed a little love. The window located on the top middle section of one of the basement walls needed to be replaced and sealed correctly. Since the window was not sealed correctly, it was allowing moisture to enter the basement. Over time, moisture in the basement may cause mold spores to spread, leaving health at risk. Prolonged mold exposure can cause asthma. The home homeowners were eager to replace the window!

The EverLast window was installed to replace the old window. The EverLast window is energy efficient with all-vinyl windows that are double-pane glass. This window makes it perfect for a damp environment that is close to the ground. Once the window was replaced, it gave the space a sense of redemption. It thrilled the homeowners that they were able to look through their basement windows without seeing rust.
