Water was seeping into this basement through its side wall. The water intrusion was starting to mold the exposed wood and was holding the water inside of the blocks. Installing a vapor barrier and fully waterproofing the wall allowed the moisture to escape the block wall and be pumped outside of the home.
This formerly wet and musty crawl space received a brand-new look and feel with our CleanSpace encapsulation system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purification system. Moisture nor humidity stand a chance against this crawl space now!
In Lenoir, NC, this home was battling two major issues beneath the surface: sagging floors due to poor support and a damp, musty crawlspace that was affecting air quality and energy efficiency. The original crawlspace was filled with deteriorating insulation, exposed dirt, and signs of long-term moisture exposure a recipe for structural and environmental problems.
To fully restore and protect the space, our crew installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier system, sealing off the crawlspace floor and walls to lock out moisture and humidity. This upgrade drastically improves indoor air quality, reduces energy bills, and helps prevent mold growth.
We also addressed the structural concerns by installing SmartJack support posts. These galvanized steel piers are adjustable and designed to permanently reinforce and level sagging floor joists eliminating bouncy, uneven floors above.
The result? A clean, dry, and structurally sound crawlspace that adds value to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner. From dark and musty to bright and secure this transformation says it all.
Moisture inside a home has all sorts of negative effects. When it came to this crawl space, the moisture was ruining its insulation and raising the humidity which allowed mold to grow. We cleaned out the crawl space and replaced all the old protective measures with our own solutions, and the results speak for themselves.
Leaking moisture along the block wall of this basement started to rot the wood shelves and create an environment for mold growth. We installed our waterproofing system to collect intruding water and send it away from the home before it effects the air.
