Before & After Photos

The 10-mil vapor barrier used to cover the dirt floor is not installed properly. Cracks and openings can be seen at every pier, wall, and pipe. Moisture from the earth is still able to seep through these small openings and gaps and affect the relative humidity. The vapor barrier does not even cover the outside grade through the foundation walls. Outside moisture from the earth can seep through the porous walls.

The 10-mil vapor barrier was replaced with a heavy-duty CleanSpace liner, which was sealed around all piers and pipes, and mechanically fastened to the foundation wall six to eight inches above outside grade. With the spray foam on the walls, the CleanSpace helps to protect the crawl space from any moisture from the earth, and with an antimicrobial built into the 7-layer polyethylene liner, it is better protected from mold and mildew.

These homeowners in Virginia Beach wanted to replace their existing crawl space access well, which was full of dirt and rocks and was allowing outside air and moisture to leak into the crawl space where the well meets the crawl space door.

Our solution was to install The Turtl crawl space access system, designed for below-grade crawl space access. The Turtle provides a clean and convenient access to the crawl space while keeping debris like leaves and rocks out of the way. This durable and lockable access door is made from rigid plastic, which will not rot, rust, corrode, or require new paint and is weathertight.

This basement had water seeping in around the perimeter. We installed the WaterGuard Drainage System to collect any water infiltration and direct it to a sump pump which would carry the water away from the home and to a spot on the property designated by the homeowner. 

This Saluda basement had major water issues in the basement. The WaterGuard Drainage System and SuperSump were installed to help keep this basement dry ALL the time. 

As part of a basement waterproofing solution, we install a CleanSpace vapor barrier on the basement walls. The liner is sealed at all seams and mechanically attached to the walls. It directs the water that seeps through the foundation walls down into the WaterGuard drainage track and ultimately to the sump pump and away from the home's foundation.
