Before & After Photos

Full of garbage, torn plastic, and experiencing early signs of water seepage this crawl space facilitated a less than desirable atmosphere. For a home, the crawl space is very important to keep dry and maintain good air quality that flows through the rest of the house. We were able to remove the debris and protect this home by waterproofing it, installing a vapor barrier, and a dehumidifier.

This basement was experiencing mold growth from constant water intrusion and was being used mainly for storage for the homeowners. Our interior waterproofing system using WaterGuard along the edge of the block wall works perfectly. It keeps the water from idling and building up inside the wall and fits along the perimeter being almost entirely concealed and able store items on top of it after installation.

Moisture in a crawl space can cause significant damage to floor joists over time. When moisture is present, it creates the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood rot to develop. These issues weaken the structural integrity of the joists, leading to sagging, warping, or even collapse.

To repair the damage, our team will first address the source of the moisture to prevent future issues. This may involve installing a vapor barrier, improving ventilation, or fixing any leaks. Once the moisture issue is resolved, we will assess the extent of the damage to the joists. Depending on the severity, we may sister new joists alongside the damaged ones, replace sections of the joists, or use structural supports to reinforce them. Our goal is to restore the stability and safety of the flooring system while preventing further damage.

The middle of this block wall started to crack and bow inward. To take the pressure off the wall, we supported it with our CarbonArmor strips and waterproofed the interior with WaterGuard.

The water seepage in this basement posed a unique problem because of its finished walls. In a few places we had to strip sheetrock back to install the interior drainage. The room housing the water filter and other utilities was particularly prone to high humidity and made it a perfect place to install the sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier.
