Lane, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the area. Lane then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening in his crawl space, why these issues occur, and what solutions are available within his desired budget. After a plan of action was agreed upon, our expert crew got to work! They installed our top-quality patented SilverGlo insulation to the crawl space walls. This graphite-impregnated formula is made from waterproof materials, so it will never support any mold growth. SilverGlo features a built-in radiant heat barrier surface and once installed creates a vapor barrier along the walls protecting the crawl space from moisture and humidity.

Water used to flood into this crawl space and massively harm the health of the home above. These leakages would create the perfect environment for mold growth, raise humidity, and generate a musty smell that would circulate into the rest of the home. Our patented products and solutions are perfect to protect this type of ruined crawl space, so the homeowners trusted us with their home.

We cleared out the failed plastic barrier that was left inside as well as any other debris that was keeping the crawl space from having a clean slate to start our installation from. Once this was completed, we started to install our perimeter waterproofing and SmartSump which sends intruding water away from the home through a French drain. Then, we attached SilverGlo insulation to the walls that keeps the interior temperature more consistent through the changing weather cycles. Lastly, we wrapped the entire crawl space in our Durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier does not rip and will keep moisture underneath it and in our waterproofing system.

With the crawl space entirely encapsulated, it is ready to provide lifetime protection to the home. The water issues that plagued it previously have been dealt with, and the homeowners were happy with the results of trusting us with their home.

The basement of this home had issues staying dry. The block walls were holding a lot of water from the rain and had started to chip the paint and mold the corner. In addition to this, the basement was open to the home’s crawl space. The crawl space air was getting wet and bringing high levels of humidity into the home through the basement.

We went to inspect the home and found that the basement walls were exposed to water through an exterior entrance as well as from rising water levels in the ground. This, in combination with an attached and unprotected crawl space, meant that the storage area in the basement was at much risk for water damage.

We proposed our interior waterproofing solution for the block walls, a dehumidifier air system for the basement, and a CleanSpace vapor barrier for the attached crawl space. This mix of products will keep the basement dry by collecting water as, and before, water enters the block wall and by keeping the humidity levels down using our patented SaniDry dehumidifier and CleanSpace vapor barrier.

After the install the homeowner was happy with the result, as it was a relatively minor change to the inside of the basement and a fix to a problem that had been festering for years. Permanent water damage inside a finished and usable basement is no small thing, and we were happy we could help protect another home.

This concrete driveway had severe cracking all around it and one of the slabs had started to separate from the others. Years of water runoff, erosion, and dirt settling was the culprit. Overtime these factors carved out a void beneath the concrete slabs and the resulting damaged rendered the driveway impractical to use and increased the risk of future issues with the other slabs in the driveway.

After scheduling an appointment, receiving an estimate, and accepting the contract our two-man crew, Matt and Nick, went to get the job done.

They assessed the damage and strategically drilled holes that allowed them to lift the appropriate slabs and fill the left-over void with PolyLyft. This gave the concrete a strong foundation to sit on and is resistant to future erosion. After the slabs are lifted and leveled out, they patched up the holes with concrete and sealed remaining cracks with NexusPro. This reduces further cracking and helps to waterproof the newly leveled driveway.

Matt and Nick spent a full day on this job leveling every slab and filling every crack. Once the job had completed the Homeowner was very happy to be able to use her front drive again and to have added many more years to the life of the driveway.
