Experienced Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Graham, NC

A homeowner in Graham, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with growing concerns regarding her wet basement. The basement walls were badly damaged from water and there were reoccurring pools of water along the basement floors after every heavy rainstorm. These are serious issues that no one wants to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day. Good thing this homeowner reached out to the basement waterproofing professionals!

Christian, one of our knowledgeable inspectors, went to perform a thorough investigation of the home. Christian then sat down with the homeowner to educate her on what was happening in her basement, why this occurs, and what solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, Elias and his crew got to work! Along the water-damaged basement walls, they installed our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal, cover and protect the walls from moisture and humidity. Next, they added our interior subfloor drainage system, WaterGuard. Its special design captures water at its entry point, before it ever has a chance to reach the floors. The TripleSafe sump pump was installed to protect against flooding. This top-quality three-pump sump system features a battery-powered pump to ensure a dry basement - even during a power outage! TrenchDrains were added to the doorways to capture any surface water. Lastly, to divert water away from the foundation, they added buried downspouts with IceGuard protection and LawnScape outlets to the sump pump and gutter discharge lines. This prevents water from being dumped onto the foundation and protects the discharge lines from clogging due to ice or debris.

Another happy customer and another dry basement thanks to Carolina Basement Systems!

Uwu from Graham, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems because they were in need of foundation repair. They had found the company through an online search. The problem that Uwu was having was that there were cracks in the foundation and the basement was leaking. Carolina Basement Systems offered a free estimate to Uwu. The solution that Carolina Basement Systems provided was to install helical piers. The helical piers are driven into the ground until they reach a load-bearing soil or bedrock. This process stabilizes the foundation and lifts the structure back to its original position.

The crawl space under this home was experiencing a lot of issues with moisture. The water intrusion was ruining the insulation and increasing the mold growth.

The homeowners hired us to fully inspect under the home and provide a solution that would improve the health of their home.

We encapsulated the crawl space with our durable CleanSpace vapor barrier and dehumidified it. Doing this protected the entire home from moisture under the house.

Mold and moisture riddled this crawl space. The homeowner called us to inspect and propose a unique solution that would get rid of these issues.

We cleaned out the entire crawl space and installed started to level it out. After that, we were able to lay down our CleanSpace vapor barrier and seal the entire crawl space area.

Several products and layers were used in ensuring the crawl space would not leak or cause harmful air condition again. The homeowners were thrilled to have this work done and their crawl space protected.

Tons of water seepage was coming into this crawl space and causing problems. Mold growth and rotting wood were among the most severe, and the cluttered environment made it no stranger to nesting creatures. The homeowners were noticing a musty smell and knew they needed to have the crawl space saved.

We inspected every inch of this crawl space and made plans to fix the moisture issues. So, we cleared out all the trash and failed insulation and leveled the grade. Then we installed our products such as CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo wall insulation, and drainage matting underneath.

This sealed the crawl space up nicely and helped to treat the area as part of the home. Moisture would now have a difficult time getting into the air to ruin the air quality or the wood structure.

Moisture readings in this crawl space were very high when we did our inspection. The mold spores growing on the floor joists were also an obvious sign of moisture issues. The homeowner knew these problems were harming the health of her home, so she hired us to solve them.

We cleaned out the crawl space and got rid of the debris and failing plastic barrier. Then we were able to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is designed to protect crawl spaces. It is extremely durable and hold moisture back from the ground and walls of the crawl space.

When we were finished, the crawl space was much less likely to allow moisture into the air and was a perfect spot for storage. The homeowner was pleased with the improvements and health benefits that we added to her crawl space.

Mold, must, and constantly changing temperatures all affected this home’s crawl space. For years there were problems with the crawl space but the plastic covering, and fiberglass insulation were doing an okay job at keeping the house protected from the weather. Unfortunately, but predictably, these measures began to fail. The homeowners decided to invest in a proper long-term solution that would keep the humidity inside the crawl space down and assist the home in its energy efficiency.

At this point we offered our patented products and went to install CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo thermal wall insulation, and a sealed crawl space door. Combining these products together allows the air inside the crawl space to resist taking on water vapor and keeps it a consistent temperature against the changing weather outside. Insulating the walls and sealing off the door also allows no venting to take place, which causes the rest of the home to heat and cool more effectively.

Because this crawl space was such a typical crawl space, as it was completely unprotected and offering few net benefits to the home, we were extremely happy we were able to improve it. The homeowners were very happy with our work and the job will last the house a long time, providing it the needed protection all homes deserve.

Exposure to the open ground in this crawl space caused multiple issues. Problems like heating trouble and excessive humidity would come and go throughout the seasons and take tolls on the health of the crawl space. The homeowner was concerned for the health of their crawl space and chose us to install our patented products and systems onto the home.

When we got to the crawl space there was a fair amount of debris needing to be cleared. Once we were rid of the packed away waste, we were able to get started. By insulating the crawl space walls with SilverGlo we were able to take out the fiberglass floor insulation that had started to tear and waste away and begin to control the temperature within the crawl space. We wrapped the entire area with CleanSpace vapor barrier which now keeps moisture from the ground in the ground and not in the air. Lastly, in the back we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier that of course greatly improves the homes ability to regulate humidity within the crawl space.

This homeowner was relatively quick to recognize the issues within their crawl space and we were able to design and install the needed solutions. They were happy with the work we did, and we could not be prouder ourselves.

The purpose of our work on this crawl space was to lower the humidity. Mold, as a result of uncontrollable humidity, was forming on the exposed wood along the top. This damage and general ineffectiveness of the crawl space was what lead the homeowners to us.

We were able to help first by offering a free inspection and identifying the underlying issue, the humidity, and by installing patented products designed for crawl space health. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the ground and support pillars keeps moisture from the ground from getting into the air. Additionally, we sealed the door, insulated the walls, and installed a SaniDry dehumidifying air system that works to keep the air dry.

These products all work together to keep the crawl space in a dry and controlled environment. After installation the homeowners were happy and surprised at how clean we were able to keep the job throughout.

With occurring water damage and trash everywhere, this crawl space was not working well for the home. Mold growth is common in wet crawl spaces like this, but it is also unhealthy for the air that is filtered through the home and makes it hard to regulate temperature. This crawl space needed some improvements.

We were able to clean out the debris that attracted all sorts of animals and replace the vapor barrier wrapping the walls as well. Doing this made the crawl space air quality much easier to control. The last thing installed was a dehumidifier that was very helpful in reducing moisture from the air.

After all our patented products were installed and the crawl space was looking good as new the homeowners were happy with the results. This crawl space now works for the home in ways it never had before. Its mold probability has reduced, its temperature is easier to manage, and it now doubles as a storage area.
