Before & After Photos

A wet, musty, basement is something no one wants to deal with. Unfortunately, this was something Ken from Hartford, KY had been dealing with for years. Ken had a small basement leaking many places along the perimeter, especially in the corners. He said it is what he calls a utility basement that covers the middle half of the house, so he decided to call in the experts at Healthy Spaces, and a Design Specialist came to his home to do an inspection. 

This homeowner took the wind right out of those worries with a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard. Our amazing crews installed this system on the footing of the home by removing a small amount of concrete around the base of the basement wall. The drain is put in place and the concrete is replaced aside from the small gap seen along the perimeter. A TripleSafe sump pump is then installed to take the water from the WaterGuard, outside, through the discharge line. 

Starr N. from Lewisport, KY was having issues with her floors. She had noticed that they were beginning to slope, creak, and felt uneven. As if the creaking floors weren't enough, she also noticed a musty smell worsening over time, which she thought could be mold. 

System Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, came to Starr's home to provide her with a free no-obligation inspection. He did a thorough inspection of her crawl space, as well as her main floor. When he was finished, he proposed a solution for the sagging floor. He recommended that SmartJack Stabilizers be installed. These are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. This is the best opportunity to lift the above floors and walls back to their original position. This would be a permanent solution, unlike the light-duty jack posts that were currently in the crawl space. These don't work because they can hold very little weight, are difficult to adjust, and don't address the most important problem- the weak foundation soils below.

Whitesville, KY homeowner Ashlee K. had noticed that the dehumidifier in their vault room was no longer working. They purchased it from a big name box store, and it obviously didn't do its job. Without the dehumidifier running and filtering the air, the moisture was at an all-time high. It caused mold growth in their basement, which could also lead to illness and awful smells. Once they began to notice the mold, the panicked. They didn't want their home to be unhealthy, so they gave us a call.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was sent to the home to complete a thorough inspection. He concluded that the dehumidifier wasn't doing its job and recommended that it definitely be replaced with a SaniDry XP Upright Dehumidifier which removes up to 109 liters of water per day. The latest generation of SaniDry dehumidifiers is more powerful and energy-efficient than ever! Each one includes a comprehensive, written warranty upon installation. 

Grant B. of Ferdinand, IN, would get water entering her basement through the west wall during a heavy downpour. A friend of hers had used Healthy Spaces in the past to waterproof their basement so she decided to give us a call. We did a free, no-obligation inspection for her and together decided the next plan of action was to waterproof the west corner and install a TripleSafe Sump Pump, along with WaterGuard, a discharge line, and IceGuard. 

Water in your basement? Cracks in your foundation? Leaky foundation walls? Call Healthy Spaces - we can help!

There are different levels of water intrusion in a basement.  Some basements just leak a little and it doesn't feel like much of a big deal.  Other basements have consistent flooding that can really fill up the space with water in no time!  Because there are different amounts of water intrusion, there are different levels of sump pumps.  The most powerful sump pump on the market is the TripleSafe sump pump.  The rugged plastic body hold not one but three pumps set at different heights to handle every level of water intrusion possible.  The first pump is for the regular water load that comes in rain or shine.  The second pump is set higher up to help pump when a sudden rainstorm starts filling the basket quickly.  Finally, there's a third pump even higher up that runs on a battery back up and can kick on if the pump is overwhelmed.
