Before & After Photos

Spartanburg, SC

Although our business mainly focuses on basements and crawlspaces, it doesn't mean we aren't able to handle different circumstances. Now technically this area was a basement, but it was extremely small, only accessible from the outside and was used as a storage shed. Regardless of what it is or what it is called, it was a part of a customer's home that was having quite a bit of water getting in, so we fixed it up for them.

The first photo shows what the area looked like when one of our System Design Specialists went out to the home. The homeowner stored a lot of different things in this attached storage area, many of which could be damaged by the moisture in the area. The homeowner wanted this problem taken care of so he didn't have to worry about any damage being done, especially to his more expensive landscaping tools like the lawnmower. 

The second photo shows the same area after the customer had removed some of the items and the shelving had also been moved. More importantly this photo shows off the system that was installed in the crawlspace of the home. The CleanSpace Liner that is covering a good portion of the walls helps to catch any water that comes through the walls and drain it to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard then drains that water to the sump pump which can be seen in in the picture. The SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it out and away from the home. 

Customer called in about having some sagging floors and wanted to know if SmartJacks could be a possible solution to her problem. Our Design Specialist was able to access the issue and get her problem resolved with 6 SmartJacks.

Our crew was able to bring her area back level and guarantee stabilization.

During heavy rainstorms, this Spartanburg, South Carolina basement would leak in one corner. The water intrusion, of course, would come in and ruin the floors. The homeowners had actually contacted All-Dry of the Carolinas a few years ago, but they needed to hold off. Four years passed and they reached out to us again, now at their wit’s end.

We sent out our Design Specialist, Alex Rogers, to take a look around. He prowled around the basement—checking every crack and corner. After a thorough investigation of the space, he concluded that the home needed a SuperSump pump, our WaterGuard system, and a Lawnscape.

These three items work in conjunction to collect the water, funnel it away, and direct it out of the basement. Together, these items solved the owner’s water intrusion issue.

This Spartanburg, South Carolina home reported a huge moisture issue in its basement. In particular, the home owners were having a lot of trouble with the walls of the basement. Unsure of how to deal with the issue, they decided to give All-Dry of the Carolinas a ring.

When the homeowners called us over, our Design Specialist found a bit of a mess.  See  the “before” picture.  If we take a closer look at the walls, we can see a ghostly, dried substance. That’s called efflorescence, or dried water; it’s what is left behind when water has been into the space. It’s evidence. It makes the otherwise handsome walls appear dirty and old. It also leaves behind a musty smell no home owner wants. Part of the reason this happens is the fault of the material. Concrete blocks are porous. They’re excellent tunnels for which water droplets to slip through into your home. The best way to fight this is to put CleanSpace Wall into place. It prevents water from drying on the walls, and it is secured using multiple methods so it won’t “just fall down” without provocation.

Pictured in the ‘after’ photo, you can see how the CleanSpace Wall can make a difference. The space is brighter; it looks cleaner and there is no evidence of that mischievous water residue. The space is, in a word, transformed. Along the edge of the CleanSpace, you can see evidence of newly poured cement. Those dark strips highlight where we’ve laid WaterGuard. This is an effective piping system placed on the inside of the home. It’s placed against the wall, catches excess water, and sends it to the Triple Safe Sump pump to be carried out and away from the home. You’ve got to admit, this is now one spiffy looking basement.
