Experienced Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Lewisville, NC

A homeowner in Lewisville, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding his crawl space. The area had high levels of moisture and humidity that had caused the floor joists to deteriorate and his floors to sink. These are serious issues that no one wishes to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local crawl space experts!

One of our knowledgeable inspectors went out to perform a free, no obligation, quote and inspection. After he completed a thorough investigation of the area, he sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening in his crawl space, why this occurs, and what types of solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, one of our expert crews got to work. First, they permanently stabilized the sinking floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. Next, they removed all debris and sealed up the vents to prepare the area for encapsulation. Graphite-impregnated SilverGlo insulation boards were installed along the crawl space walls to provide an unbroken sheet of R-11 insulation. Then, the remaining exposed areas were sealed with our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. With the crawl space isolated from the earth, it allows for the most effective moisture and humidity control. To eliminate musty odors and ensure drier and healthier air throughout, the crew installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purification system. Lastly, to seal off the new and improved crawl space environment, they added the indestructible EverLast crawl space door. Its airtight and watertight design prevents insects, critters, moisture, humidity, and cold drafts from penetrating past the crawl space entrance.

Another happy customer and another healthy crawl space thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

James from Lewisville, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems after noticing water was getting into his basement from cracks along the walls and gaps around the doors and windows. This type of situation can be a nightmare for any homeowner. A wet basement can cause many different issues from structural damage to a home's foundation to health problems from growing mold and mildew. Fortunately for this customer, he contacted the local basement professionals.

Our team of experts got right to work on protecting this home from any further damage. They started by installing a WaterGuard sub flooring drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. This structure captures water from its entry point and then redirects it to the UltraSump pump that will pump it up and far away from the foundation. A Foamax basement wall insulation made from advanced polyisocyanurate foam was then placed around the walls of the area. This insulation system fits with the WaterGuard drainage system and is highly energy efficient.

Another basement protected by Carolina Basement Systems!

The basement of this house was unfinished and had parts of crawl space throughout. Water was seeping into the room from the walls and the ground. There was an old, failing sump pump installed, but the homeowners new they needed a more permanent solution.

We fully encapsulated this part of the home to hold moisture back and insulate the room. Our interior drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the basement and funneled into our patented sump pump design. This system can handle massive water intrusion and works constantly to keep this basement dry.

Water leakage into the basement of this home made it difficult to store items of importance, finish the area, and caused foundation damage. Pressure from the water inside the wall eventually began to crack the block.

We were able to stop the water leaking and support the walls to keep them from collapsing. Our interior waterproofing system was installed around the perimeter of the basement and then we installed our PowerBraces against the waterproofed walls.

The homeowners were thrilled to be able to use this part of their home again with complete peace of mind.

This home was about 20 years old and had seen multiple owners. The current owners bought the home and immediately started to find water damage issues and other foundation issues. It turned out that the homebuilders cut corners that caused the porch to sink, the waterproofing to fail, and too much pressure on the basement walls.

This started to bow the walls and water was leaking in constantly. The new homeowners started to look for a permanent solution and had us inspect the home. We found that another company had installed an interior system that was not equipped to handle the level of water issues around the home.

We removed the failing systems and installed our own patented solutions around the basement. This waterproofed the entire basement and stabilized the block walls. The security we provided this home was much appreciated by the homeowners and much needed to make the home safe.

Shifting soil around this home caused the foundation of the home to settle and sink. This sinkage started to cause cracking and separation of the exterior and interior walls.

The homeowner recognized these stress fractures and had us come inspect. We found that the sinking home needed to be supported before much more damage could occur. After getting proper permits and signing a contract with the homeowner, we installed our helical piers under the foundation and carbon fiber strips along its walls.

These piers and carbon fiber strips help support the foundation and holds the interior walls together. The homeowners were thrilled without work and have peace of mind about the state of their foundation.

This musty and wet crawl space had all types of problems. Ripped up plastic and clumped insulation left it susceptible to these issues such as mold growth, high humidity, and trouble with keeping consistent temperatures. Over time, these troubles persisted, and the homeowner decided it was time to look for a permanent solution.

We offered our free inspection and the homeowner chose the option that they felt, along with our expert opinion, best suited their situation. This solution was CleanSpace vapor barrier. Unlike the existing vapor barrier in this crawl space, CleanSpace is designed to protect crawl space and does not rip. This barrier keeps crawl space’s air much drier.

We installed the CleanSpace by wrapping it along every surface that could allow water vapor inside. This gives the crawl space a neat and clean look, and it allows the vapor barrier to do its job by protecting against vapor getting into the crawl space air.

After the job was done the customer was happy. Everything went according to plan. This part of the home is now incredibly more protected than It was with ripped black plastic and falling out insulation.
