Alleghany County, NC Local Professional Basement Waterproofing Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Contractor

Before our work in this crawl space, it was at major risk for mold growth and other problems. It was open to the outside air, above the ground in many spots, and the ground was exposed on the inside. These factors allowed water and moisture to get into the air very easily and raise the humidity. This high humidity is the perfect condition for mold to grow and the wetness makes it virtually impossible to have standard fiberglass insulation installed.

We inspected the crawl space and realized that the air quality could be improved dramatically and be protecting the rest of the home instead of causing it harm. So, we proposed a system that was designed to lower humidity and protect the crawl space air from water moisture.

This system that we installed had 4 parts. First, we installed thermal wall insulation onto the walls that were facing the outside, and this protects the crawl space air from rapidly changing temperatures and helps to control the environment inside. Then we laid down our drainage matting and vapor barrier along the ground. This keeps ground from being able to seep water into the crawl space physically or evaporate into the air as a gas, and the result is less humidity. The fourth and final product being installed was our SaniDry dehumidifying air system. This system is designed to keep crawl spaces at a specified relative humidity and makes it impossible for mold to grow or continue to reproduce.

When we were finished, this crawl space in Sparta, NC looked amazing, and it had the very best in crawl space protection.  

The basement of this home in Ennice was experiencing a great deal of leaking and water seepage. It made the space unusable, raised humidity, and caused frequent forms of water damage. When the owners of the home decided they wanted a permanent solution to the problem, they called us to install our patented system.

WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe sump pump were all installed into this basement. These products work together to keep water out of the basement and away from the home while helping maintain lower humidity. The WaterGuard drain system around the perimeter fits under the footer, and it is practically seamless in the room. These systems collect and dispel water 24/7, are easy to maintain, and take up very little space.

When the project was complete the homeowners were very happy with the result. The space in their basement is useable again and protected from future water intrusion. Also, the system’s lifetime warranty provides a much-needed peace of mind.

The floor of this home started to sag inward and created complications for the home such as failing insulation, risk of cave ins, and letting air leak into the living areas. Now, the air of a crawl space will always travel through the main living areas but as the floor starts to sink, bigger gaps are formed, and more air can be let in.

So, to solve the problems that this sinking floor creates, we went to install our SmartJack solution. The homeowner had previously installed a generic form of jack in his crawl space to lessen the load, however these jacks are not designed to take on the weight of a home and do nothing in the way of long-term protection. We replaced this jack with our SmartJacks, which are specifically designed to support and hold the main floor of a home, and then we ran a steel I-beam to increase the support.

After the installation, the homeowner was thrilled to have the peace of mind that his entire home’s floor did not literally rest on a generic jack. Now, the home has the stabilization it needed and the functionality to adjust the support for long term success.

There were multiple issues taking place inside this home’s basement in Glade Valley. Structural problems, water intrusion, and high humidity were causes of concern. The homeowner decided to have these damages taken care of once and for all so he contacted us.

We inspected the home, we found that CarbonArmor strips, WaterGuard waterproofing, and CleanSpace vapor barrier could fix the bowing walls, water seepage, and high humidity. These products are all patens of our company, and when installed properly, they work together to provide the best basement protection in our industry. While installing, we ran into very few issues and everything went up as intended. The CleanSpace along the walls helps keep moisture out of the air and traps it in our WaterGuard drainage system. The WaterGuard collects water and sends it to a sump pump that dispels the water. Underneath the CleanSpace, we installed CarbonArmor strips to hold the wall up against external pressure to stop the bowing.

With the job finished and the homeowners happy, we cleaned up and left the base looking great. Lastly, we made sure to communicate with the owners that we are always available for maintenance and service calls years down the road.

When this crawl space was first built, a think clear plastic sheet was placed along the ground as a vapor barrier. This brought the home up to code, but overtime the thin plastic shifted and ripped leaving the ground exposed. Moisture was able to penetrate and get into the crawl space from the exposed ground and raised the humidity and allowed mold growth to rapidly occur.

The homeowners wanted to keep their home healthy, so they contracted us to encapsulate their crawl space with our trusted method and products. We installed EZflow drainage that runs into our sump pump to waterproof the perimeter, drainage matting to help filter rogue water into our system, CleanSpace vapor barrier to securely protect from ground moisture, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which keeps the air clean and dry.

After we installed these products, the crawl space looked amazing and was extremely secure from water seepage. The homeowners were thrilled with these protections and the ability to utilize their crawl space area.  

The basement windows on this home were being covered by a bulky and cheap window well covering. The area around the window was clearly leaking water and needed some help to work more efficiently.

We helped to seal the window well and installed new window well coverings. Our coverings were sleek and better looking on the side of the home. We leveled back out the dirt and left the window wells in a better place to protect the home and keep light going inside.

The homeowners were very happy with this little change and readjustment to their home.

Rains came down and water rushed into this basement in Piney Creek. For years water seepage was making it impossible to store valuable items and was ruining the health of the home.

We inspected and built a system for the homeowner that would get rid of the water seepage and help to heal the home. The homeowner loved our solutions, so we installed our patented products and designs as soon as possible.

The system we put in keeps water out and profiles and dries the air out keeping the home protected from moisture problems.

Water seepage began to plague this basement in a serious way. It was impossible for the homeowners to store items or ever finish the area because of the leaks. Exterior waterproofing is costly and disruptive the area around the home, so, they sought another permanent solution.

We installed our perimeter waterproofing system inside this basement. This system captures water intrusion before it enters the basement and sends it to our patented designed sump pump. From there, water is pumped safely away from the home. The homeowners were very happy with finished work and can now utilize their basement safely.

Basement and crawl space flooding was at an all time high in this home. The water intrusion would pool up and cause serious health and water damage to the home.

The homeowners knew they could trust us and hired us to fix the problem permanently. By installing our patented products and solutions, we saved this basement from the flood waters that plagued it.

The UltraSump features a battery powered pump to protect against flooding during a power outage. Lastly, to direct water away from the foundation, our crew installed buried downspouts to the ends of the gutter discharge lines. This prevents water from being dumped directly on to the foundation, and instead directs it to a safe distance away.
