Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This basement was humid, moldy, and badly damaged from water intrusion. Our expert crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system, a CleanSpace wall system, and a few other of our top-quality patented products to keep this basement healthy and dry for many years to come!

To protect this Winston-Salem, NC home from water buildup, our team installed a new exterior discharge line and drainage system. This setup helps redirect water away from the foundation reducing the risk of flooding, pooling, and long-term moisture damage. A clean, simple solution that keeps the yard dry and the home protected

This Winston-Salem, NC home was experiencing classic crawl space problems sinking floors, water damage, and odors throughout the home all signs of an unhealthy, moisture-filled environment beneath the living space. The solution? A dry, encapsulated crawl space built to protect the home from the ground up.

Our team installed a full encapsulation system to block out ground moisture, paired with a powerful SaniDry dehumidifier to control humidity levels. To restore floor stability, we added SmartJack supports, providing long-lasting reinforcement where the floors were beginning to sink.

The result is a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient home with a crawl space that finally works for the house, not against it.

In Winston-Salem, NC, this homeowner was dealing with clear signs of foundation stress: sinking floors, a damp crawlspace, musty odors, and visible water damage inside the home. All symptoms pointed to poor exterior drainage, which had led to excess moisture seeping into the foundation and crawlspace area a common issue in homes with older gutter systems and inadequate grading.

To solve the root cause, our team installed a custom surface drainage system to divert water away from the home’s perimeter. The project included trenching, setting new PVC piping, and placing a strategic catch basin connected to the downspout effectively redirecting stormwater away from the foundation.

Once the system was in place, we backfilled and added gravel to protect the basin and improve drainage efficiency. This solution not only keeps water out of the crawlspace but also prevents future structural issues, improves indoor air quality, and protects the overall health of the home.

Shah from Winston Salem, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems because he had problems with basement waterproofing. The company installed the Ultra Sump 4 and perimeter drainage. The Ultra Sump 4 is a submersible pump placed in a sump pit. The perimeter drainage consists of a system of pipes placed around the basement's perimeter. The system drains water that has seeped through the foundation walls and floor into the drainage pipes. The water is then pumped out of the basement by the Ultra Sump 4.
