Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & More in Apex, NC

A homeowner in Apex, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding his concrete garage floor. The slab was cracked in a few areas and had sunken down in one corner. Unlevel concrete is not only visually unappealing, but it is also a tripping hazard and may lead to more serious foundation issues. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local concrete leveling experts!

One of our knowledgeable inspectors went out to perform a thorough investigation of the area. He then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening to his garage floor, why this occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, one of our expert crews got to work. They lifted and leveled this sunken concrete slab with the modern technology of PolyLevel. This process involves drilling tiny pea-sized holes into the slab and filling them with a special expansive polymer formula. The poly foam is strong enough to lift the concrete, but lightweight enough to not add any pressure to the soils below. The material won't wash or dry out and requires very minimal disturbance compared to mud jacking. Next, the cracks in the concrete were sealed with the silicone-based sealant, NexusPro. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means they won't ever crack, bubble or dry. After all was complete the garage floor was level and smooth.

Another happy customer and another concrete slab restored thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

Sharon of Apex, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems after noticing some bad stuff going on in her crawl space. Fiberglass insulation was wet and falling down from the ceiling and there was standing water in multiple places causing rust, mold, and mildew. These kinds of issues can be detrimental to a home's foundation. A crawl space in this kind of shape will drain your energy bill and even put your family's health at risk. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local professionals!

Our team of experts went right to work on fixing this crawl space for good. They started by removing and disposing of all debris and fiberglass insulation. Next, Mold-X2 Cleaner and Botanical was used to treat all of the mold and mildew that had accumulated in this damp area. Drainage matting was added to the ground to collect any water from under the vapor barrier and redirect it away from the home. Piers were wrapped and vents were sealed for moisture control. An UltraSump pump was installed to pump any collected water up and away from the crawl space and IceGuard protection was added to ensure that water will always be pumped away - even during below freezing weather conditions. A high-efficiency graphite-impregnated insulation called SilverGlo was installed on the walls and the most durable vapor barrier on the market, CleanSpace, was used to seal, cover, and protect the space from any water vapors in the soil surrounding. A SaniDry Sedona was hooked up to dehumidify and purify the crawl space air. Lastly, the waterproof and airproof EverLast door was installed to seal off the newly clean and dry crawl space.

Another happy homeowner and another crawl space saved thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

New homeowner, Josh, was told by an inspector that he would need to replace the vapor barrier in the crawl space of his new home in Apex, NC. If water gets into a crawl space, it can cause a homeowner many headaches and issues. Water can end up sitting inside of a crawl space for months or even years if not properly waterproofed! Consistent moisture can cause mold, mildew, and rot. These kinds of problems don't only put your home at risk, but can put your family's health as risk as well. Good thing Josh called the local waterproofing professionals!

Our team of well-trained experts went right to work on fully encapsulating this crawl space and eliminating any water-damage-worries from this homeowner's mind. This project began with cleaning the area by removing and disposing of any and all debris. Vents were sealed and piers were wrapped with our durable CleanSpace liner. A foam insulation was sprayed around the necessary areas and an electrical outlet was installed for the dehumidifier. Drainage matting was placed on the floor to capture any water collected from underneath the water vapor barrier and redirect it away from the crawl space. CleanSpace liner was then added to the floors and walls to fully cover, seal, and protect the entire area from any water that tried to seep through. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier was hooked up to eliminate any concern for mold, musty odors, or muggy feelings.
