A homeowner in Ararat, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding his wet basement. It was a musty and humid environment that would have regular pools of water accumulating along the ground. These are serious issues that no one wants to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local basement waterproofing professionals!

Christian, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the home. Christian then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening in his basement, why this occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, JC and his crew got to work. They installed our interior drainage system, WaterGuard, along the perimeter of the basement. This superior solution goes where the floors meets the wall and is specially designed to capture water at its entry point - before it ever has a chance to reach the basement floors! A TrenchDrain was added along the entry way to effectively capture surface water along that opening. Our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed along the walls to seal, cover, and protect the walls from moisture, humidity, and drafts. Our superior UltraSump pump with battery back up was added to protect against flooding - even during a power outage! Our IceGuard protection was included on the sump pump discharge line to avoid any clogging due to freezing weather conditions. A LawnScape outlet was added to the end of the buried discharge line to protect against clogging due to leaves or other debris. After all was complete the basement was dry and protected and the foundation soils were drier and stronger as well.

Cracking and shifting was stressing the concrete porch and driveway around this home and was starting to become a trip hazard. The homeowner got tired of the concrete deteriorating and hired us to repair and restore it.

Instead of re-pouring all the concrete, we lifted, stabilized, and sealed the entire porch and driveway. This eliminated trip hazards, protected it from future sinking, and waterproofed and sealed the cracking.

One of the major problems that the homeowners were having with their house was the draft from the crawl space. The area under the home was so susceptible to the weather outside that it made it difficult to keep the home heated and cooled.

The solution to this problem was a crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing system. Encapsulating the crawl space made the area a part of the home against and not just conduit for the weather to affect the home. The perimeter was waterproofed with a sump pump. The walls were insulated from the cold and heat. A CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to keep moisture out of the air, and a SaniDry dehumidifying air system was plugged up to keep the crawl space air dry.

This area of the home had never looked so nice! We made it a proper part of the house and kept it protected from the elements outside of the home. The energy efficiency increased as well as the air quality and made the homeowners very happy with the result.
