Randolph County, NC Professional Basement Waterproofing

The back-left end of this home began to sink and caused cracks to form in the bricks around the back window and on individual bricks themselves. Homes, as they settle and shift over time, can be at risk of foundation issues. These issues can show minor symptoms but have major implications. This home was experiencing these symptoms and the homeowner was looking for potential solutions.

We placed piers along the base of the home by digging 3 by 4 holes along the house’s edge to allow the piers to sit under the home and the foundation to rest on the piers. From here we were able to lift this house hydraulically back into place. After locking the piers in place and filling the holes back in the homeowner was pleased to have taken care of this issue before anything major happened to his home.

Lifting concrete with our PolyLyft foam is a joy to witness. With this job in particular the results were incredible. The process is oddly scientific as our foremen calculate where and how much foam to pump underneath the slab to lift it but not create or worsen new cracks.

This home had been poured on unsettled ground and over time the dirt began to compact and severe rains that run under the home ever slowly chipped away at the foundation. With precision and focus we were able to lift this slab and fill the void where the ground has settled.

Now, the home has more stability and more usefulness. The value, practicality, and relief from potential further damage has drastically gone up. On top of this, the homeowner was very happy to see the results and watch the slab rise right in front of his eyes.

The air inside this crawl space was experiencing consistent temperature shifts. These shifts were due to exposure to open ground and air flow from outside through venting. When the ground temperature and the air temperature outside mixed It caused the temperature to change unpredictably, making it hard to keep the home a constant temperature, and allowed water to form as condensation.

The homeowners knew the health of their crawl space was important for their home, so we fully waterproofed it, installed a vapor barrier, and installed a dehumidifier to combat these issues. Waterproofing the crawl space helps keep water that runs into the foundation of the home out from the crawl space where it can form mold and vapor barrier protects the air from moisture in the ground and coming from the block supports. Lastly, the dehumidifier is there to control the moisture in the air that can get in and form as condensation.

After installation these homeowners were very happy with the result. The issues were resolved, and their crawl space’s air quality improved.  

After years of flooding and water damage, this crawl space was on the verge of ruining the home. Mold was growing throughout on the floor joist and was making silently affecting the air quality throughout the entire home. It was difficult to see how much intangible problems a crawl space can cause when its allowed to flood and be at the mercy of nature.

We inspected the home and proposed a full encapsulation offering every type of crawl space protection we offer. This included waterproofing with a sump pump, drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, dehumidifying air system, thermal wall insulation, and even SmartJacks to support the sinking floor. The homeowner saw the need to get their crawl space back in living condition and accepted our proposal.

The transformation was incredible. Now the crawl space is possibly the most protected part of this home. With dry ground, dry air, and protection against external factors such as changes in temperature the air quality that is going into the living areas of the home through the stack effect is immensely healthier.

Water leaking into this crawl space was causing a variety of symptoms to occur. The humidity was high, the insulation was shredding apart, and mold was growing. The increase in moisture inside the crawl space had these terrible effects, and they were keeping the home from running efficiently and even meeting building code.

We installed many of our patented products designed to protect crawl spaces from the damages of moisture. The EZflo and SmartSump waterproofing is keeping the physical intruding water from the ground and walls out of the crawl space while the CleanSpace vapor barrier is keeping the natural dew and water vapor from evaporating into the air and raising the humidity. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifying air system that regulates internal humidity as well as purifies the air.

This crawl space, that used to be harming the home’s health, is now an efficient, protected, and useful part of the home.

The standard crawl space protection inside this crawl space had started to fail the home. The plastic laid down was dirty, ripped, and allowing moisture to get into the air. The floor had also begun to sink down and bow inward. These problems prompted the homeowner to contact us for a free inspection.

Our inspection found that a CleanSpace vapor barrier, SaniDry dehumidifier, and a few SmartJacks would be perfect to solve this crawl space’s problems. The CleanSpace and SaniDry work together to keep moisture out and the humidity inside of the crawl space out. This massively reduces risk of mold and rot as well as making it easier to keep the home cooled or heated. The SmartJacks were installed onto a steal beam support to stabilize and stop the floor from sinking.

The homeowners were very happy with our work and the crew that went out there. They remarked that the clean-up process was fantastic, and the crew kept them informed on the project the entire time. We are proud to have helped another homeowner by fixing their crawl space issues.

The pool outside this home had a concrete pool deck surrounding it. Over time, the water from the pool and rain had soaked into the concrete and gotten underneath it, causing all sorts of issues with pressure. Eventually, the concrete gave in and it started to create randomized cracks all around. So, the homeowner’s wanted us to inspect the problem before it got much worse.

After out free inspection we knew we had the solution. Our product, NexusPro, is great at sealing concrete cracks, but it also has a unique waterproofing quality that is perfect for around pools. We came and installed this product to seal and waterproof all the cracks around this pool.

When we were done, the pool deck was much safer and protected from worsening cracks. This was the perfect job from start to finish. It was simple, quick, and it went very smoothly. The homeowners were very happy to not have dangerous and jagged cracks everywhere around their pool just waiting to trip someone.

The inside of this crawl space was a complete mess. It was not protected from water vapor and as a result it became extremely humid, a breeding ground for mold, and caused the insulation to fail. When the moisture was allowed into the area it would evaporate into the air making the conditions for mold growth perfect. It also would condensate on the fiberglass insulation which clumps and ruins the insulation. When the homeowners started smelling a must inside their home, they knew it was worth having the crawl space inspected.

We went out for a free inspection and found that the crawl space mainly needed to be protected from moisture being allowed easy access. To do this, we installed our durable and patented CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout to keep the water vapor in the ground and out of the air. After that, we added a SaniDry dehumidifying air system which helps keep the air dehumidified and purified.

Installing these products together made a massive difference to this home’s crawl space. It solved the problems at the root so not only were the negative effects, such as musty smells and mold growth gone, but the risk associated with having an unchecked crawl space were also eliminated. The homeowners were very happy, and we were glad we could help turn this crawl space around as nicely as we did.

Water intrusion had caused multiple issues in this basement. The built-up moisture put pressure on the block and eventually stress fractured. It also made it difficult to store items that could not get wet. So, we inspected the basement and found a solution to the water intrusion along the back wall.

The first thing we did was dig a trench along the back wall. Doing this gives us room to install the WaterGuard waterproofing system under the floor of the basement. From there, it catches water and sends it to a sump pump which pumps the water away from the home. Once this system was fully installed, we added CarbonArmor strips to the back wall. These strips hold the wall together and stop further bowing.

With the job completed, the homeowners were satisfied. We secured this wall of the basement and will keep it from leaking and cracking, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Water was easily making its way to the block foundation walls of this basement. It left behind a musty smell and efflorescence that was bubbling and chipping paint. The water damage from the flooding became harder and harder to ignore so, the homeowners hired us to inspect the issue.

We found that the water intrusion was coming in from all areas of the home and constructed a system to capture and expel that water. We installed our WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter of the basement and ran it into our TripleSafe sump pump.

With this new waterproofing system installed, water will be collected and sent away from the home safely.

The low point of this home was holding water that was settling against the base of the home. The mold, water intrusion, and unhealthy nature of this was cause of concern for the homeowner.

We installed a drain around the outside patio to manage this water settlement. The water now flows into the drain around the concrete and gets sent away from the home. The homeowner was thrilled with the new system that helped clean up the standing water issue.

This basement in Trinity, NC has constantly suffered from massive water seepage. The garage door around the back had to have a large storm drain outside of it to help keep water away. Eventually, the homeowners got tired of having to deal with this water seepage and hired us to fix the problem permanently.

We installed our WaterGuard drainage and CleanSpace vapor barrier around the perimeter of this basement and ran them into our TripleSafe sump pump. This system collects intruding water and pumps it away from the home. The homeowners were thrilled to have a system working 24/7 to keep their basement clean and dry.

After every rain, this basement would flood. Standing water was ruining this space inside the home and the homeowner knew something needed to be done.

We inspected the basement and saw that we had a solution that would work. We proposed our Perimeter waterproofing solution that is installed under the floor of the home. The homeowners loved it and we installed this patented system inside the basement.

The job went great, and the products were installed without a problem. Ever since our system has been installed, water intrusion has not been an issue.

The corner of this brick house started to separate and sink away from the rest of the home. Cracking was the first indicator that made the homeowner nervous, and eventually the sagging became visually apparent.

The homeowners needed to stabilize the sinking foundation and hired us to ensure that it happened. We installed helical piers under the home and lifted it back into position. Doing this also stabilized the foundation and protected it from further sinkage.

Water seepage started to creep into the basement of this house. The humidity was rising, musty smells were occurring, and stored items were getting wet.

To alleviate this problem for the homeowners, we dug a trench around the perimeter and installed our interior drainage waterproofing system. Our patented design captures and delivers the leaking water to the sump pump that then expels the water outside of the home.

This, along with out dehumidifying air system, protects the basement from the unwanted moisture and subsequent issues.

The massive amounts of water damage around this basement room made it nasty and unhealthy for the home. The homeowner was looking to clean this space up and make it a usable part of the home again.

We inspected the room and determined how the water was most likely getting into the room and proposed a plan to fix it. Then, we began to install our perimeter water drainage system with a sump pump and wall barrier to capture all the water intrusion and send it away from the home.

The homeowner was thrilled with the solution we provided and now comfortably uses his basement to train his dog.

The covered car port on the side of this home started to sink and fall away from the rest of the home. The concrete was cracked and severely tilting one way.

We installed our helical tiebacks to help hold and pull the retaining wall back toward the home. We had to dig under the concrete car port to anchor the tiebacks and bring the car port back toward the home.

The homeowners were thrilled to have this issue resolved along with the peace of mind.

Debris and ruined vapor barrier left this crawl space wet and moldy. The air quality and general health issues were degrading the home’s value and the homeowners started looking for a permanent solution.

We cleaned out the nasty crawl space and then installed our durable vapor barrier, wall insulation, and dehumidifier to keep the air clean and dry. Sealing the crawl space made the home more efficient and dry, and the homeowners were thrilled with the results.

The brick home started to experience stress cracking in the foundation. The home was starting to slope away from itself into the ground.

The homeowner had our experienced inspectors come out to find a solution. After looking around the home, inside the basement, and parts of the crawl space, we determined that helical piers would be perfect to support the home.

So, we installed several piers along the outer walls to pull the home’s foundation back up and stabilize it.

This house in Asheboro, NC had a dirt crawl space that was allowing ground water to seep into the air. Even though a dirt crawl space is very common it is very harmful to the home. Moisture from the ground was molding the organic material under the home.

The homeowners new it was nasty under there and wanted us help protect their home. So, we cleaned it out and sealed our patented, durable vapor barrier throughout the crawl space.

This vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the air of the crawl space and helps keep the humidity low.

A concerned homeowner in Sophia, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems after noticing a dip in his bathroom floors. Sagging or bouncy floors are a sign of settlement or shifting in existing support columns upholding the weight of the home. A home's foundation can shift and settle for many specific reasons, but most of them begin with the issue of high moisture within the crawl space. So, it was no surprise when our inspector discovered that this crawl space was very wet and humid. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local professionals!

Our expert crew got right to work on stabilizing this home's foundation and waterproofing the crawl space. SmartJacks were used to not only stop settlement, but also to raise the sagging floors back to their original position. CleanSpace liner and SilverGlo insulation were installed to cover, seal, and protect the crawl space from water vapors. Coupled with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier - moisture no longer stands a chance against this home!

This is a clear sign of foundation failure, and if not treated in a timely manner could be detrimental to the home's structure. Good thing this home owner contacted the local professionals!

After a detailed inspection was complete, it was determined that for this job eleven helical piers would need to be installed to save the foundation. This system works by transferring the weight of the home onto the piers that are installed deep into sturdy soils. These piers are ideal for lightweight structures, and the installation process is very minimal in its disturbance to the home and lawn. Helical piers won't only stop your home from sinking any further, but they can also lift the foundation back to its original position. After the job was complete, this home was permanently stabilized and the formerly visible cracks were nowhere to be seen.
