Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our graphite-impregnated and waterproof SilverGlo insulation boards provide an unbroken sheet of R-11 insulation and a durable vapor barrier to the crawl space walls once installed.

We had to waterproof this basement to protect it completely and ran a discharge line away from the home. This drainage system keeps water intrusion pushed away from the foundation.

One consequence from having a lot of water seepage is the increased risk of bowing walls. These crawl space walls were experiencing just that. We installed out steel beam PowerBraces to stabilize and hold the wall in place.

Intruding water would slowly leak up from the ground and through the floor of this basement. The humidity was high and the risk of ruining the unfinished areas were also high. So, we waterproofed the perimeter and installed a dehumidifying air system to protect the home.

The NC crawl space code only requires that a layer of plastic be laid along the ground of the crawl space. However, these barriers quickly tear and move and leave the crawl space exposed to moisture. Knowing this, the owner of this home had us install our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier that is sealed around the entire crawl space and keeps moisture out long term.
