Musty smells and mold growth were starting to concern the owners of this home’s crawl space. They asked us to inspect their home and were shocked at what it looked like.

We suggested our full encapsulation system that cleans out debris and sealed the area from outside factors. This stops mold growth and improves air quality in the entire home.

Once we were finished, the homeowners were very happy with the results.

Moisture leakage from the ground and block walls were getting into this home’s crawl space. The encroaching water was raising the humidity and ruining the insulation under the home.

We cleared out all the debris and ripped insulation and started to encapsulate the crawl space. By sealing off the ground, walls, and piers we keep moisture in the ground and out of the air. This helps maintain a healthy level of humidity and keeps water from festering inside the crawl space.

The homeowners were very happy with the finished product and less worried about the smells and issues coming from under their home.

This flooding basement was holding water inside the walls and leaking into the home. Water damage on the foundation walls made this obvious. We inspected the walls and found high moisture readings inside the block wall as well as observable evidence of water flooding.

To solve this problem, we installed our perimeter drainage system to gather unwanted water seepage before it sits inside the home and pumps it outside. The homeowners were thrilled with our solution and were so happy to have a dry and clean basement.

Intruding water was chipping paint, raising the humidity, and making it difficult to finish the basement area of the home. The homeowner wanted to have peace of mind about this problem and hired us to solve the problem permanently.

We installed our vapor barrier along the wall and our interior drainage system to pump water outside before it can fester inside the basement. The discharge line was equipped with ice guard and drained safely away from the home.

After the job was installed, the basement was incredibly protected from unwanted water seepage.

This crawl space was not protected from outside moisture and was poorly insulated. It needed to be revamped. The homeowners knew this and hired us to protect their crawl space with our patented products and solutions.

We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the entire crawl space. We wrapped the piers and the walls all the way up to keep wicked water out of the air. Our vapor barrier is extremely durable and prevent moisture from easily getting into the crawl space air that results in high humidity or mold growth.

The homeowners used this part of their home to store items like tools and fertilizer. These are things that should not get wet, so the homeowners were very happy with the results of their new vapor barrier which now keeps their crawl space dry.

This basement in Boone had been experiencing water seepage for a long time. The homeowners had another company install a generic sump pump system, but it has its limitations. They found that moisture was still able to cause problems such as high humidity and rot. To fully waterproof their basement that they are trying to finish, the homeowners hired us to install our patented WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump system.

These products have been tested and proven over 30 years and many states. So, we dug up the old system and continued our waterproofing system throughout the moisture infested area. We installed the WaterGuard under the floor to collect water from all points of entry and ran it into our TripleSafe sump pump. Our sump pump is equipped with overflow alarms and runs 24/7 with a battery backup.

Once the discharge line was running to a safe place outside the home, the job was finished. We cleaned up the basement and left the homeowners happy with the addition to their home. Our system will keep moisture from negatively effecting the basement so they can finish it with peace of mind.

The basement in this building was being used as a storage area. Unfortunately, water seepage was soaking the back wall and occasionally would ruin items left there. This was problematic for the owner and so he started to look for a solution. Eventually, he found us, and we were able to craft a solution specific to this situation.

We installed WaterGuard drainage along the base of the leaking walls that would catch water before it gets inside the basement and ran it into a sump pump. However, this building was situated in the city of Boone and had limited options for discharge without pumping it somewhere that would cause more damage. So, we ran our discharge line from the sump pump around the back to an ally with a grate drain. Doing this meant that all the water our system collects will be properly displaced into the street drainage and unable to harm the buildings nearby.

After we finished the job, the owner was very happy to have a complete solution installed that protected the inside and outside of the building.

As is the story with many aging homes, the crawl space protection put in when the home was built quickly failed. The think black plastic pulled back and exposed the ground making it very easy for water vapor to get in the air. This also causes the insulation to get wet and break down.

We inspected this crawl space and found that our CleanSpace vapor barrier along side a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would protect the crawl space like it has ever been before. So, we began the process by clearing out the existing debris and leveling the area. After this, installation went quickly as we sealed the entire crawl in CleanSpace. On top of the vapor barrier, we installed a dehumidifying air system to keep the air clean and dry all the time.

The homeowners were very happy with the improvement to their home, and we were proud to have done this work and protect this home from future moisture problems.

This partially finished basement was suffering from water seepage. Among houses in the mountains, this is no surprise as intense run off and melted snow can increase the likelihood of flooding basements. The homeowner knew that to finish the basement, keep the home healthy, and utilize the basement effectively she needed to have it properly waterproofed.

So, we inspected the home and create a solution with our patented products to remedy the issues. This system was our WaterGuard drainage and TripleSafe sump pump system. These products collect water before it gets into the basement and pumps it safely outside away from the base of the home.

With our system in place, the homeowner can finish their basement and not worry about the nasty effects of flooding and water seepage. She was happy with our work when we finished and with the fact that we were able to maneuver around her AC unit.

The homeowner of this property in Boone, NC is the owner of many different homes. He realized the importance of keeping these rent homes healthy and protected with the most up to date technology in home improvement. The exposed crawl space was a problem and was letting water control the health of the crawl space.

So, we did a full encapsulation in CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our patented barrier does not rip and is sealed tightly around everything in the crawl space. Doing this makes the porous surfaces unable to attribute absorbed water to the crawl space air.

When we were finished, this home was sealed off and ready to be lived in. The negative affects of humid and nasty crawl spaces can make major impacts on the health of a homes air which we strongly hedged against with this encapsulation.

This home in Boone had a few issues with water seepage. Rain run off can be a constant problem for houses build on hills, and this one was no exception. The intruding water made the basement space wet and unusable as well as humid and at risk for mold growth. So, we came to help alleviate the problems.

We installed our interior waterproofing system using WaterGuard drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump which can pump out water before it gets into the basement through the day and night. After that, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to some of the exposed block walls that had high moisture ratings and set up a Sedona air system. Doing this made it much more difficult for water vapor to affect the air inside the basement.

When the systems were installed the homeowners were happy. The space in the basement that used to be wet after heavy rains is now staying dry and the air is staying clear.

Encapsulating this crawl space with a vapor barrier, waterproofing, and a dehumidifier was a major transformation. Before the homeowner decided to make these changes to the home the crawl space was musty and showing signs of mold as well facilitating an environment comfortable for creatures like mice and snakes.

Since most of the air you breath inside your home comes from the crawl space, or basement, and the air quality in this crawl space was inadequate this homeowner contracted us to do the work using our patented products for this purpose.

We were able to help this home by providing it with EZ Flow and a sump pump(waterproofing), CleanSpace(vapor barrier), and by closing off the venting and adding a dehumidifier. The air quality within this crawl space has improved and become much more consistent throughout seasonal changes.
