Mr. & Mrs. H were facing persistent water issues in their basement, along with concerns about the moisture and coldness in the bedrooms located above the crawlspaces. Their main goal was to eliminate water infiltration and regulate soil moisture in those areas.
To address these issues comprehensively, we implemented several solutions. First, we installed WaterGuard, a highly effective drainage system, along with a trench drain and lateral. These measures efficiently controlled the flow of water and directed it towards the Triple Safe sump pump, which effectively removed water from the basement.
In addition, we employed CleanSpace in the crawlspaces. This innovative vapor barrier served the purpose of isolating the soil from the house, effectively preventing the transfer of moisture and the resulting humidity that had been affecting the bedrooms.
This particular project stands out due to the unique nature of the house, which featured two crawlspaces that were larger than the basement itself. Despite the complexity of the situation, we were able to successfully address all of the customers' concerns and provide effective solutions. Now, Mr. & Mrs. H can enjoy a dry and comfortable basement, along with improved conditions in their bedrooms, eliminating the issues they had been facing.
Struggling with a damp and moldy crawlspace is common due to the way homes used to be built. But for this family, Midwest Foundation Repair was able to help with a wall-to-wall clean space application. The family will no longer have to struggle with a damp and wet crawlspace anymore.
It was clear that there was no water protection barrier on the wall, which was causing problems for the customer. They had previously taken steps to waterproof the perimeter of the basement, but they hadn't done anything to address the issue of moisture on the walls. Their main goal was to make the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture and preventing mold growth. They were also happy to hear that we offered a warranty that could be transferred if they ever decided to sell the house.
To effectively deal with the issue of wall moisture and integrate it with the existing waterproofing system, we installed CleanSpace all around the perimeter. This solution not only made the basement more enjoyable by reducing moisture levels but also fulfilled their desire for a transferable warranty for waterproofing the walls.
Here's an example of our SilverGlo insulation system. It's a system designed to not only provide insulation for your home, but also works as a vapor barrier on your crawl space walls.
We applied our vapor barrier system, CleanSpace, in this crawl space to prevent moisture and mold growth!
