Mc Leansville, NC Basement Finishing & Waterproofing Experts

A homeowner in McLeansville, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding her basement. Water was seeping inside and causing damage to the floors and walls. 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 basement waterproofing experts!
One of our knowledgeable inspectors went 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 her on what was happening in her basement, 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 installed a TripleSafe sump pump system with UltraSump battery backup protection to prevent flooding - even during the case of a power outage! Next, they added an interior drainage system, WaterGuard. This subfloor basement drainage system is specially designed to capture water at its entry point, before it ever has the chance to touch the basement floors. Lastly, to divert water away from the foundation, the crew added buried downspout extensions to the gutter discharge lines.

Another happy customer and another dry basement, thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

Chuck of Durham, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems after noticing the paint was peeling off of his basement walls. This is a very common sign of having excessive moisture and high humidity in the area. Moisture in a basement can cause many more issues than just peeling paint. It can lead to bowing walls, mold, mildew, wood rot, high energy bills, allergens, and more. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local professionals at Carolina Basement Systems!

Our team of experts went straight to work on waterproofing this basement and ridding any moisture worries of the future. They started by installing a monolithic WaterGuard sub floor drainage system around the perimeter of the area to capture any water from the walls or floors and direct it away from the basement. Then, they wrapped CleanSpace liner around the walls to control moisture. CleanSpace is the most durable water vapor barrier on the market. It is designed to cover, protect, and seal the walls up from any water vapors in the soil surrounding the exterior basement walls. Water no longer stands a chance against this basement!

Another happy homeowner and another protected home thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

One of the worst conditions we have seen in a crawl space was the one at this home. Years of short-term, and largely useless, solutions had failed this crawl space and was causing problems that added much risk to the house. Issue number one was the mold that the high humidity was easily allowing to grow. Secondly, was the must and unhealthy air that was being filtered throughout the rest of the home. Lastly, the mess was a perfect catalyst for creatures nesting inside the crawl space. These were the main issues and do not take into account the ad hoc floor supports that were installed long ago.

The homeowners were ready to take their crawl space back and have it work for the home again. So, we inspected it and proposed a system that worked for them financially while solving the main issues. We went in and cleaned the entire crawl space out, which immediately made it harder for creatures to nest and thrive inside. Then we installed thermal wall insulation which allows the crawl space to treat the air inside it the same as the air inside the home. Since the crawl space air is being filtered throughout the home this step is very important. Lastly, we put down our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is designed to be durable within a crawl space and keeps the humidity down by keeping water vapor from the ground in the ground.

After the installation, the homeowners were very happy with the transformation. Of course, not every issue can be solved at once, but the home is much further along than it was. It now has actual long-term solutions in place to elevate the efficiency and reduce issues such as mold growth, bad air flow, and nesting creatures.
