Shelia of Oak Ridge contacted Carolina Basement Systems after noticing water coming into her home through what she believed was a foundational issue. Problems like this can drastically affect a home's value, appearance, and safety. Untreated damaged structural walls can develop into seriously expensive repair work for a home, especially when water is getting inside. Moisture can create many risks to your home and family's overall health.

Our expert team got right to work on permanently stabilizing and protecting this home's structure! They installed our heavy-duty GeoLock wall anchor system. These earth anchors are planted into stable soil away from the foundation wall. Then, they are connected to steel anchors with long rods that when tightened won't only secure walls in their current position, but can also overtime completely straighten walls back to their original place. A LawnScape discharge outlet system was then put in place to be attached at the end of the sump pump discharge line. This outlet is subtle, blends in with landscaping, can withstand the weight of mowers, inhibits clogging, and has a removable cap for easy cleaning.

This home had a very large crawl space. Unfortunately, it still had issues like every other crawl space. With a dirt floor, block walls, and block piers running through it there were plenty of spaces that water could get inside. The water getting in was typically manifesting as a vapor in the air and subsequently raised the humidity level. After a while of this, the homeowner decided to have us inspect the home.

The walk-in crawl space was very humid and causing issues for the home. Potential mold growth and inefficient heating and cooling were among the most critical to address. High humidity caused by water in the air is always bad because it creates the perfect environment for mold to grow and will ruin the wood inside. This also leaves problems for the air flowing into the living areas because the air inside the crawl space will always escape through the rest of the home. So, the moldy air can get everywhere and if not regulated can make it hard to heat or cool the home.

We went in and installed our patented CleanSapce vapor barrier throughout the crawl space. This vapor barrier is designed for crawl space, so it does not rip and keeps the water vapor out of the air. It works for ground, block walls, and up piers to have maximum protection. So, now this crawl space is much more efficient at regulating the air quality, which improves the health of the entire home, and it is more usable as a storage space. The homeowner was very particular about the way he wanted things and we were able to meet his needs and left the job with him very happy about the work.
