There was major bowing and cracking along this foundation wall in Mount Airy. We supported the bending wall with our CarbonArmor strips and then waterproofed the perimeter. The water seepage was flooding into the basement and causing pressure on the block walls.

The homeowners were thrilled that we could solve every issue that they had. When we left, the basement was secure and dry.

The entrance into this dugout basement had dirt walls and was surrounded by crawl space. Because of this design and a rising water table, flooding was consistent. The homeowners knew they needed to find a solution to increase the health of their home.

We inspected the basement and created a solution to wall water off and to re-route intruding water into our sump pump drainage system. WaterGuard and EZflow ran along the perimeter to catch water and funnel it into our TripleSafe sump pump while our CleanSpace vapor barrier keeps ground water out of the air.

This new system stopped the flooding and allowed the basement to be utilized by the homeowners safely.

Water seepage was starting to affect this basement by raising the humidity, creating musty smells, and ruining storage items. To prevent the leaks from further harming the home the homeowners had us waterproof it.

We jackhammered the floor around the perimeter of the basement and installed WaterGuard to collect water as it comes through the wall. Weep holes are drilled to allow water easy flow into our WaterGuard drainage system and is pumped out through our sump pump. After we repoured the jackhammered concrete, the basement was set up to keep water intrusion out of the basement.

Keeping this basement clean and dry made the homeowners very happy with our work. The discharge line was dug outside and flowed away from the base of the home to make sure it does not pool up in harmful areas.

The concrete floor in this basement was cracking and the block walls were leaking water. This complication decreased the safety of the home. To start getting the basement back in working order, the homeowners decided to waterproof it. Doing this would help solve the issues created by water leakage.

We came in and busted up the concrete around the perimeter and installed our WaterGuard drainage. With this in the ground under the floor, we can capture water intrusion and send it away from the home before it harms the basement. All the water flows into a sump pump that pumps the water out of a discharge line. When the concrete in repoured and the system is fully installed, the basement functions exactly as it did before, and it stays dry.

Once we finished the job, the homeowners were very happy. In this case, the road to home improvement started with us ensuring that the basement would not leak and cause adjacent issues to arise.

The crawl space in this home showed early signs of mold development and had debris from insulation and weak plastic coverings scrapped throughout. The environment this created was not only at risk of mold but also of providing nesting for bugs and other vermin that would damage the house and contaminate the crawl space air.

One of our inspectors evaluated the situation and straightforwardly explained the solutions for the problems to the homeowner. After the homeowner choose us, we sent our crew to clean up the existing mess and installed CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and a Sanidry dehumidifer. These products were designed to protect crawl spaces from moisture building up and to be long-term solutions. CleanSpace in particular is used so that over the years the plastic covering remains intact unlike other products that become ripped or get shredded easily by rats and other sources.

The homeowner, Peter from Mt. Airy, said trusting us was “One of the very best decisions I have ever made with my home” and we are extremely happy to of made such a difference in the life of this homeowner.
