A homeowner in Cary, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding his home's foundation. Cracks had appeared and were growing along both the interior and exterior walls of the home. Walls cracks are a common sign of foundation troubles, and need to be addressed immediately. If a foundation is sinking and left untreated, it will just continue to get worse and more expensive. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local foundation experts!

Lane, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the area. Lane then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening to his foundation, why this occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, Jose and his crew got to work. They permanently stabilized this home's foundation by installing 7 helical piers along the sinking side of the home. Helical piers are screwed into the ground with special machinery and are designed to transfer the weight of the home to load bearing soil or bedrock. In many cases, they may even push the foundation back to its original position. After the piers were installed, the home was strong, stabilized, and looking good as new.

Doug, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the home. Doug then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening to his foundation, why this occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, Poncho and his crew got to work. To permanently stabilize this home's sinking foundation, they installed SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers stop settlement in its tracks and may even lift the floors above back to their original position. The former support columns had weakened over time due to excess moisture and humidity in the crawl space. So, to prevent any future damage and attack the root of the problem, our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. To ensure dry and healthy air throughout the crawl space, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purification system. Lastly, to seal off the new brighter, drier, and healthier crawl space, the crew installed the indestructible EverLast crawl space door. This airtight and watertight design prevents insects, critters, moisture, and even drafts from penetrating the crawl space entrance.

Patrick, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went out to perform a thorough investigation of the crawl space. Patrick then sat down with the homeowner to educate him on what was happening, why it occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, Ivan and his crew got to work. First, they treated the crawl space from mold. Then, they permanently stabilized the floors with the high-capacity steel piers known as SmartJacks. Next, they encapsulated the crawl space to separate the home from the earth to control humidity and moisture. Vents were sealed and SilverGlo insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier was installed along the walls. The ultra-durable CleanSpace liner with drainage matting was used to cover and seal the remaining exposed areas. An UltraSump pump with battery backup and IceGuard protection was added to prevent flooding, even during a power outage or freezing weather conditions. Buried downspouts with LawnScape outlets were attached to the UltraSump discharge line to divert water away from the home's foundation. The highly-efficient SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier were added to eliminate musty odors and prevent future mold growth. Lastly, the newly dry and protected crawl space was sealed with the airtight and watertight EverLast door.

A homeowner in Cary, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems with severe worries regarding his basement. There was a large amount of water coming through the basement drywall, leaving the walls wet to the touch. This had caused a strong musty odor and damage to the flooring and carpet. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local waterproofing professionals!

The walls were so greatly damaged with water that they needed to be removed before they began to mold. After the damaged walls and carpet were removed, the remaining wall areas were wrapped with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This ultra-durable liner seals, covers, and protects the space from any future water that tried to get inside. Next, WaterGuard, a subfloor drainage system was installed around the entire perimeter of the basement. This system is designed to capture water at its entry point and redirect it to the new UltraSump pump where it can be pumped up and far away from this home's foundation. The discharge line was installed with IceGuard protection to ensure full functionality - even during freezing cold weather conditions.

Matt in Cary, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems with concerns about his foundation. This customer said his door was slanted and leaning to the side, and that he could feel the floors moving when walking around his home. Uneven floor movement like this can not only cause serious damage to a home's foundation, but it can also cause major cracks in the walls and make things such as windows and doors very difficult to open.

Our expert team began fixing this problem by installing SmartJack supports within the crawlspace. These high-capacity steel piers are specially designed to stop the foundation of a house from settling and can even raise the home back up to its proper level. A condensate pump is added to collect and disperse water away from the crawlspace. Next, they sealed all vents and installed our high-efficiency and waterproof  insulation, SilverGlo. Lastly, they sealed everything off with our thick PVC EverLast Door. This crawlspace door will seal the area from air/water, and it will never need any type of maintenance unlike your typical wooden door.

Another happy Carolina Basement Systems customer!
