Before & After Photos

A prospect in Evansville, Indiana, contacted Healthy Spaces regarding his basement. The commercial property had a basement that had severe leaking alongside the walls. The floor above had sagging floors, that needed to be held up. The owner was interested in waterproofing and repairing the foundation. 

To collect any water that would enter the basement, the WaterGuard System was installed alongside the walls. This system has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks. It will carry the water toward the sump pump. Lastly, the sagging floor was held up using the SmartJack system. Heavy-duty SmartJacks addresses weak foundation soils, or the effects changing moisture conditions can have on these soils. It lifted the above floors back toward their original position. Having a safe foundation and a reliable water system left the owner feeling satisfied. It was a job well done!

If you are spotting mold in your basement, then you are more than likely breathing in the mold upstairs. This occurrence is called the stair stack effect, which creates an airflow in your home from bottom to top. A homeowner in Hartford, Kentucky had this exact issue in their basement.  Whatever is in your crawl space/basement air is in your house also, whether or not you spend any time in the crawl space. Upon inspection, the basement was damp and there was water leaking from the walls whenever it rained, getting the carpet wet. The homeowner was interested in waterproofing his basement so that it can become usable again. 

To begin the transformation, every wooden beam that was affected by mold was scrubbed and treated in the basement. Once this portion of the job was completed, the CleanSpace liner is secured on the walls to protect against water vapor. A small trench is dug out alongside the walls for the Waterguard to be placed in. It sits on the footing, instead of alongside it, which keeps mud from getting into the drain because the drain does not sit in the mud. It has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks. Once the waterproofing segment was completed, the basement was now safe for storage. 

Having a sump pump is handy, especially when water is leaking into your basement. A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana, was having complications in her home. Whenever it rained outdoors, the rainwater would find its way inside the basement, causing more chaos to clean up. Peace of mind is what a lot of homeowners such as Tracy wish for, and that is exactly what Healthy Spaces is for!

The best sump pump for this occasion is the TripleSafe sump pump. It has a cast iron pump inside that is quiet, cools well, and lasts longer than standard, plastic pumps. In case the power would ever go out or the pump would fail, then a battery backup is a great option to purchase, It is a specially designed maintenance-free battery that pumps over 12,000 or 24,000 gallons of water. With this simple fix, the homeowner now does not have to worry each time it rains. 

A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana was interested in waterproofing their basement. One request he made was to replace the window in the basement. He wanted a window that would bring the most light in and was sealed to prevent a cold draft. 

The EverLast energy-efficient, all-vinyl windows were installed to replace the old ones. The new windows look much better and do not let the wind in. This is a perfect replacement for a damp environment close to the ground. The homeowner was pleased with the new replacement windows, knowing that he wouldn't have to feel a cold draft in the winter again!

In Evansville, Indiana a couple wanted to turn their basement into a bar/hangout spot for friends and family. The only problem was that the basement would leak water and would either be extremely cold in the winter or humid in the summer. The basement walls needed to a drainage system and insulated walls for a welcoming atmosphere. 

The wall system that the couple chose was BrightWall. BrightWall paneling brightens your basement and gives it that clean, semi-finished touch. Before this system is put on, the WaterGuard is installed. The WaterGuard is a drainage system that catches water and directs it toward the sump pump. With the WaterGuard installed, there will be no more water leaks on the floor! Once the waterproofing and finishing of the walls were complete, the family was ready to host parties.
