Rockingham County, NC Professional Basement Waterproofing

The water damage that was occurring to this basement had hit an all time high. With mold starting to grow on the wall and water beginning to pool the homeowners were looking for a permanent solution. We went to inspect the home and found there was an immediate need for waterproofing and designed a system that worked for them.

We generally suggest that all four walls of a basement be waterproofed in order to ensure that there are no weak walls or areas prone to leakage but the homeowner in this case opted to waterproof three which was a more cost effective option. We installed our WaterGuard and Triple Safe sump pump around the base of the basement. So, when water finds its way to basement wall it will be trapped in our system and pumped out away from the base of the home.

The waterproofing system works great and the homeowners were very happy. Some damage had already been done but with our products installed any future damage will be greatly diminished if not completely rid of. This home had an emergency situation, where items were being ruined and the air was being tainted, and now it is prepped and ready to remain dry during the heaviest of rains.

Unlike most waterproofing jobs we do this home had a ground level water seepage issue. The one-story home was built on a slab and had a sizable leak coming through one of the corners. As the damage amounted and the humidity raised the homeowners wanted us to look at potential solutions.

Inspecting this unique situation led us to some unique solutions. We were able to pull back the carpet around the affected area and install an interior waterproofing system just covering the problem corner. This will keep the water leakage in this corner from affecting the inside wall and will dispel the water outside. We also installed vapor barrier along the wall and a basement air machine in order to control the moisture inside the home.

This solution satisfied our customers and solved the problem. They were happy with the look of the finished job and the reduction in humidity and water damage. The homeowners had only noticed this issue for the last couple of years but wanted to stay in their home forever. So, they were looking for a permanent solution, which we were happy to provide.

Thin plastic ground cover and rusted, tilting floor jacks were the only things keeping this crawl space protected. The crawl space was becoming a hot bed for mold and must and the floor was continuing to sink as these short-term solutions had finally run its course. So, the owner of the home decided to have a permanent solution installed.

We came and installed out SmartJack system first. These jacks are placed under a steel beam to offer the stabilization required to hold the house floor up. This also makes it easier for the jacks to stay in place as the steel beam is less likely to shift over time. Secondly, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier is much thicker than the common black or clear plastic placed under houses and instead is thick enough to resist tearing and keeps moisture out of the crawl space. Being able to control the air quality and moisture around the crawl space significantly increases the protection against mold.

After we did the job, we were proud to see how happy the homeowner was. Over the years this crawl space had been burdensome for the home and caused immediate problems such as odd smells throughout the house. When this project was completed it looked great, functioned properly, and our customer felt much better about the condition of his crawl space, which are all marks we constantly strive to achieve.

The water intrusion that kept occurring inside the basement was starting to create a musty smell and high humidity that was affecting the entire home. When the water would pool up or sit inside the block wall, it was able to evaporate into the air and cause problems with keeping items stored and regulating the home’s temperature. After realizing the issue was primarily caused by water getting inside the home through the block walls, the homeowners were intent on having us waterproof the home.

The solution we provided was a full perimeter interior waterproofing using our patented products, WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a TripleSafe sump pump. This system works by collecting water as it enters the block walls and before it gets inside the home and flows into the sump pump. This home had serious signs of water intrusion and this system will make sure that the water causing the issues will make it outside the home.

Once the job was done, the homeowners were very happy. After years of this growing problem, we were finally able to put an end to it. If you have a similar problem with a musty smell or water pooling in your basement, we can inspect it for free to see if we offer a possible solution to your problem. Just give us a call or fill out an online form.

This basement had a chronic case of water seepage. Pools of water would settle in low spots during heavy rains, and efflorescence was covering the block walls. In addition to these problems, the humidity was high, and a musty smell had begun to develop. This also caused a high risk for mold growth on the exposed wood.

To solve the issue, we create a system that would keep the water out and protect the air inside the crawl space from the negative effects of water seepage. This included a full perimeter interior waterproofing system that drains through a buried downspout, a SaniDry dehumidifying air system, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Combined, these products will capture water before it enters the room and send it away from the home while maintaining the humidity inside the basement from potential moisture in the air.

After we installed the products the homeowners were thrilled. We turned the problematic basement into an efficient and protected part of the home. Now, flooding does not make it impossible to store items inside the basement, and it keeps the risk of mold and musty smell very low.

Intruding water had built up in the block walls and cement floor that was hidden from view under siding and carpet. This moisture was a catalyst for mold and started to form a musty smell throughout the basement. When the owners realized that there was an underlying issue, it had already gotten bad, so they contracted us to fix the problem.

We installed a full perimeter waterproofing system with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep the water out and assist in lowering the humidity. We ripped up the carpet and ruined panel siding and exposed to root of the problem. With the block wall and cement floor visible, we dug the trench to install the WaterGuard around the perimeter and sealed the vapor barrier to the block wall. This system is designed to catch water as it comes in and keep moisture in the walls from evaporating into the air.

After we installed the products we cleaned up and tested the system. It worked great and the homeowners were happy. This basement had been left to mold and was at the mercy of all the water seepage. We were able to take it back and turn it into a healthier and useable space.

Sinking floors are often hard to prevent, but we offer our SmarJacks as a solution to the problem. This home’s crawl space also had many issues with the flow of water around it, and we made our way inside to start cleaning up and solving those problems.

We installed our SmartJacks underneath a steel beam to hold the floor up and tore out everything inside the crawl space that was unnecessary. This included old insulation and the old vapor barrier. The next step to improve the crawl space was to lay down our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier. Doing this ensured a durable barrier would help the area resist moisture from the ground. After the jacks and vapor barrier were installed, we went outside to install a French drain system. The French drain would change the way the home carried water away from the home and prevent a lot of moisture from seeping into the ground around the foundation and crawl space.

Once all these products were properly installed, we cleaned up and left the home in an incredibly different state. The homeowners were happy with our work and we were too.

Moisture was ruining the health of this home from the ground up. Intruding water was flooding the basement and evaporated water was raising humidity. The homeowners had enough of these moisture issues and hired us to provide a permanent solution.

We installed our patented products and solutions that collects water from all forms of water seepage. Our WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter of the basement funnels water into our TripleSafe sump pump that operates 24/7 with overflow alerts. The CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls also helps to keep moisture out of the air and will send evaporated water into the drainage system.

The homeowners were very happy to have system that deals with the moisture problems they were experiencing while being practical.

The water leaking into this hybrid garage and basement started to stain the floor and walls. It was also flooding the room which would ruin items and leave a musty smell.

The homeowners wanted to get rid of this issue permanently so, they hired us to install our patented waterproofing solutions. We dug out a trench and installed WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement. We also had to stabilize the bowing walls with PowerBraces. Our steel supports anchored the wall and keep it from more bowing.

We finished our work in the basement, and the homeowners were thrilled to have a protected garage to utilize once again.

This basement in Madison, NC was just another basement with massive water seepage issues. It was harming the health of the home and made the space unusable.

We installed our perimeter waterproofing system to bring the area back to life and eliminate the moisture seepage problems. The captured water is pumped outside and away from the home. The homeowners were so happy to have a system that works to protect their home, and the basement has been dry ever since.

Moisture was seeping into this crawl space in several ways and was causing high humidity and increased mold growth. The damages that were occurring underneath this home made the homeowners very uncomfortable and so they went in search of a solution.

They went with us because we were able to install a permanent, full-proof solution to their moisture problems. We encapsulated the crawl space to protect the air inside and waterproofed the perimeter to keep all water seepage pumped outside and away from the home.

Amanda was very pleased with the solution and felt confident that her basement and crawl space would be dry and comfortable now.

A homeowner in Stoneville, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems with an old sump pump in his crawl space. This customer was concerned that the pump would give out soon, leaving him with a big problem.  If this sump pump was to stop working, the excess water from the ground would begin to accumulate in the crawl space. This can cause many problems such as mold, musty smells, and even high energy bills!

Our expert team of professionals installed an UltraSump pump. This high-efficiency and top-quality sump pump is way better than your average pump. IceGuard protection was added to the discharge lines to ensure that water will be effectively pumped away from the crawlspace even during freezing cold weather.
