One of our knowledgeable inspectors, TJ, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the area. He then sat down with the homeowner to educate her on what was happening in her basement and crawl space, why these issues occur, and what solutions are available within her desired budget. After a plan of action was agreed upon, Juan Carlos and his crew got to work. In the basement, the installed a WaterGuard drainage system. This is installed around the perimeter of the area where the floor meets the wall, to capture water at its entry point - before it ever has the chance to touch the basement floors. Next, they sealed the basement walls with our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the walls against any moisture or humidity. Our TripleSafe sump pump was added to the basement. It has a three-pump design that includes a battery-powered pump, and it automatically adjusts to the current pumping requirements of the environment. IceGuard was added to the TripleSafe to protect the discharge lines from freezing weather conditions. Next, the crew began tackling the crawl space. First, they removed all debris and fallen fiber glass insulation and replaced it with the superior SilverGlo insulation. SilverGlo combines highly-effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. Its waterproof design also acts as a vapor barrier to the crawl space walls. Drainage matting and CleanSpace was added to the ground to isolate the crawl space from the earth and direct water beneath to a sump pump for effective removal. An UltraSump pump with battery-backup was added to protect the crawl space from flooding - even during a power outage. The world's most efficient dehumidifier and air purifier, our SaniDry Sedona, was installed to eliminate musty odors, prevent mold growth, and provide healthy dry air throughout. Lastly, to seal off the newly protected crawl space, they added our indestructible EverLast crawl space door.

Moisture is no longer a worry for this basement!

Unprotected and moist, this crawl space started to experience a lot of negative effects. Mold growth and must smells wafting through the home were just a few of them. The homeowners wanted to get rid of these issues and protected their home, so they hired us.

We thoroughly inspected and proposed a solution to fix the issues permanently. Our encapsulation system keeps moisture out of the crawl space and dehumidifies and purifies the air to keep it clean and dry.

The new crawl space looked amazing, and the homeowners were thrilled with the results.

There was high humidity and sinking floors under this home in King, NC. The homeowners wanted us to fix these problems and prevent them from causing future harm.

After a thorough inspection, we proposed installed SmartJacks and our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the floors from sagging and the air purified and dried.

The homeowners were thrilled with these products and the health and stabilization benefits it provided to the home.

The crawl space under this home was being used as storage and a workspace. Once the moisture from the ground started to seep into the area and cause mold and humidity issues, the homeowner started looking for solutions.

We completely encapsulated and sealed off the crawl space from outside moisture and dehumidified the air. Doing this allowed the crawl space to be free of a water and mold friendly atmosphere.

The nasty crawl space and moist basement under this home was raising the humidity, causing mold growth, and created unusable space. The homeowners were tired of dealing with these issues and hired us to inspect and propose a solution.

We designed a system to clean and protect the entire underground area from the moisture intrusion. We waterproofed the basement and sealed off the crawl space. All the unwanted water is captured and pumped outside of the home.

The standing water in this yard and poor drainage started to become a more consistent issue. We inspected the way water flowed around the home and came up with a buried downspout solution.

We dug trenches along the entire yard and piped the downspouts downhill. The end of the new downspouts were equipped with a disguised drain head that seamlessly allows water to flow out.

The homeowner was thrilled with the new drainage and not having to worry about intense yard flooding.

Water intrusion was starting to get into this garage and cause problems. Like most people, this homeowner used the area to store items, and like most items water damages them. So, he contracted us to permanently solve this problem.

We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the garage to collect water before it gets into the walls and above the floor and send it into our sump pump. Our patended sump pumps are designed to handle the heaviest of rains and can run 24/7. From there a discharge line is installed and buried under the ground.

When the job was finished, the homeowner was happy that he could store items in his garage without worrying about them being ruined.

The process of protecting a crawl space from humidity and mold growth can vary. However, a full encapsulation is the best chance at getting the job done. This crawl space in King was obviously molding along the floor joists and causing an inefficiency in heating and cooling the home. After some option seeking, the homeowner chose us to install our patented products, so we installed the solutions.

Our first step was to isolate the crawl space air from the air outside. To do this we insulated the walls of the crawl space with SilverGlo, then we laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Doing this keeps the air inside a consistent temperature and keeps moisture in the ground from getting into the air. Lastly, we put in a SaniDry air system, which is designed to dehumidify crawl spaces. This combination of products works very effectively at protecting the air inside the crawl space and gives back the home that area of the house.

The homeowners were thrilled with the job. Both in the way it looked after and, of course, the protection it provides. We were very happy as well to help and be a part of a seamless and full proof protection for a home.

The homeowner of this basement and garage hybrid found that water was consistently making its way into the home. She has us inspect the leakage with the goal of keeping the basement dry year-round. We found that, like many garage-basement hybrids, water was getting into the block walls and coming in through its multiple doorways.

To solve the flooding issue of this basement it took a full perimeter waterproofing system with internal drains. This means that with WaterGuard running under the edge of the block walls collecting the water as it moves up and before it gets into the basement, we still needed to install drains on top near entry points. Along the bay garage door and the side door we put drains that fed into the WaterGuard perimeter system. From here the collected water can be pumped out through a sump pump downhill away from the foundation of the home.

This process is common among partial underground basements with a bay door and it works to keep water out at all points of entry. The homeowner was very happy with the job and is excited to watch how the system keeps her basement dry during the next big rain.
