A homeowner in Thomasville, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding her crawl space. It was dirty, damp, and very musty. The wood was begining to rot and the floors above were begining to sag. These are issues that no one wants to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day.

Doug, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the area. Doug then sat down with the homeowner to educate her on what was happening in her crawl space, why it occurs, and what solutions are available at her desired budget. After a plan of action was agreed upon, JC and his crew got to work. They started this crawl space project by permanently stabilizing the home's sagging floors with the SmartJack system. These high-capacity steel piers are the only floor-stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of the issue, weak soils below. This system instantly and permanently stops settlement and lifts the floors back to their original position. Next, to isolate the crawl space from the Earth for complete humidity and moisture control, they installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system.  Complete with dimpled drainage matting, a SuperSump pump with a built-in alarm, and (of course) CleanSpace vapor barrier - the crawl space was now dry, protected, and sealed. Our high-efficiency SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purification system was added to prevent mold  and eliminate musty odors. Our indestructible, airtight, and watertight EverLast crawl space door was installed to seal and protect the newly clean and healthy crawl space from any critters, insects, water vapors, or winter drafts. Lastly, to divert water away from this home's foundation, buried downspouts with IceGuard protection and LawnScape outlets were added to the ends of the gutter and sump pump discharge lines.

David of Thomasville, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems with some troubling concerns regarding his crawl space. The HVAC company made note of some moisture present during an inspection. After the homeowner noticed mold growth on some exterior walls, he knew there was definitely a moisture problem in this crawl space! Mold is a nightmare for any homeowner. It can cause wood rot - ruining a home's foundation. Mold can cause health problems, especially to those with allergies and asthma. It can even welcome dust mites and other humidity-loving creatures such as spiders, mice, rats, and MORE. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local professional to take care of these problems once and for all!

Our team of well-trained experts went right to work on cleaning up this crawl space by removing all the debris and fallen fiberglass insulation. The area was then treated for mold and ready for some waterproofing. SilverGlo wall insulation was installed to seal off the walls and help prevent mold, rot and musty odors. Vents were sealed. Piers and walls were wrapped with CleanSpace liner to control humidity. Drainage matting was placed underneath the CleanSpace to capture any collected water and direct it to the Ultra Sump pump. Our patented, top-of-the-line Ultra Sump pump system was installed with battery backup and IceGuard protection. This ensures that water will be pumped up and far away from this home's foundation - even if the power goes out or if the weather is below freezing. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was hooked up to reduce musty odors, stop mold growth, and eliminate muggy feelings caused by high humidity. After all was completed, the final step was to seal the crawl space off with an EverLast Door. This airtight and water proof door made from PVC plastic will never crack, shrink, or require maintenance. 

Water and mold no longer stand a chance against this crawl space! Another happy home owner and another happy home thanks to Carolina Basement Systems.

Andrea from Thomasville, NC needed help with her crawl space. She found Carolina Basement Systems through an online search. Her home was built in 1953 and no work had been done on the crawl space since then. She had an existing sump pump that worked, but was concerned about energy loss through the floor and moisture coming up into the bedroom above the sump pump. Carolina Basement Systems came out to take a look and Andrea showed them the issues she was concerned about. They explained that they could install a CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation system which would address all of her issues. This system includes a crawl space liner to seal off the earth and block moisture, a dehumidifier to remove any existing moisture and keep the space dry, and a new sump pump to remove any water that does get in.

The walls of this home’s basement were cracking and the floor above it was sagging. The homeowners were starting to feel uncertain about these cracks and had us come to inspect the issues.

We found that there was some serious sagging and that the cracks were concerning long term. So, we suggested and installed our SmartJacks and CarbonArmor strips to jack the floor up and hold the wall together.

The homeowners were very happy with the work and have peace of mind about the stability of their home.

Water damage and mold from moisture in the air covered this home’s crawl space. These musty, dirty conditions were having a negative impact on the occupant’s lives. Like most homes, this crawl space was built with a thin plastic covering on the ground and insulation on the floor above. Over time this strategy fails and allows mold to grow and air quality to decrease. This hurt the health of the home and had impacts on personal health as well.

We were able to help! After debris removal, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier across the entire crawl space, SilverGlo insulation to the walls, two sump pumps, and a dehumidifier. All these products work together to create an airtight, controlled crawl space that works for the home. The vapor barrier and dehumidifier keep the air dry and moisture from being able to catalyst mold growth. The wall insulation is a way to keep the temperature under control and treats the crawl space as part of the house. It also won’t be affected by moisture if any gets on it the way traditional insulation would.

This crawl space went from a moldy, musty, and useless space to a clean, energy efficient, and protected part of the home. Fortunately, these homeowners were able to recognize their crawl space as critical part of the house and we were able to help them. We were able to help these homeowners in part because of our commitment to permanent solutions and the patented products that we install.

This family had issues with water leakage and an odd smell emitting from their crawlspace.  Luckily our team was able to use our top of the line products in order to fix the issues this family was experiencing.
