Before & After Photos

Art contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair concerned about water that was entering the basement of his home in New Bern, NC. Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair inspector Andy Pittman met with Art to go over the problems and concerns to find the best possible solution for the home. Andy found that the water was entering the basement from the basement walls and the best solution would be to install the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System. By installing the WaterGuard System we are able to catch the water when it entering the basement, direct it to the Triple Safe Sump Pump System and then out of the home. Art is thrilled with the work that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair was able to do to fix his home. 

High humidity in the crawl space led to moisture accumulation, which caused the floor joists to become damp and weakened. This weakened state made the joists susceptible to rot and structural damage. To address this, our team carefully repaired the joists by sistering them, which involves attaching new, healthy wood alongside the damaged joists to reinforce and restore their strength.

Water intrusion was a problem for this customer due to a poorly sealed crawl space. We completely encapsulated the crawl space, making sure it was completely sealed. This will prevent leaks from occurring in the future. During this process, a SmartSump crawl space sump pump system was installed. If there is a leak in a pipe or water enters the crawl space, the sump system will remove it. 

Water was leaking into the customer's basement through the block wall due to hydrostatic pressure pushing water through cracks and pores in the foundation. To address this, we installed our WaterGuard drainage system, which captures water at the perimeter of the basement floor and directs it to a sump pump, preventing further water intrusion. This system ensures the basement stays dry by effectively managing water seepage and maintaining a waterproof barrier.

SilverGlo Thermal Insulation Panels were installed throughout the walls of this customers crawl space to prevent moisture from seeping through while regulating the temperature of the space at healthy levels. In the before photos, you'll notice moisture seeped in and soaked into the structure. SilverGlo will prevent this from happening any further.
