Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

The dirty and wet crawl space under this home was causing ventilation and mold issues. We cleared it out and began to seal it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and dry it out with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

This basement had a sump pump system installed that ultimately failed. Not all sump pumps are made equally. So, when failures started to immerge, the homeowners looked for a high-quality sump pump. Our TripleSafe and WaterGuard drainage was installed in place of the old system and is designed to handle the worst of water intrusion. 

Efflorescence on the walls and block piers of the crawl space was an obvious indicator that moisture was seeping through. We wrapped the entire area in our CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the crawl space from this moisture and allow it to become an extremely useful part of the home.
